📋 Overview
Fortnite Vault ("we", "us", "our") is a fan-made community platform. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our website. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.
📊 Information We Collect
We collect the following types of information:
- Local Storage Data — Account data, preferences, and settings are stored locally in your browser using localStorage. This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly submit it.
- Contact Form Data — If you submit our contact form, we collect your name, email, and message.
- Usage Data — We may collect anonymous usage statistics to improve the platform (page views, interaction patterns).
- Cookies — We use minimal cookies for preference storage and basic analytics.
🍪 Cookies
We use the following cookies:
- fn_cookie_consent — Stores your cookie preference (Accept/Decline). Expires after 1 year.
- fnvault_accounts — Stores account data locally in your browser for the showcase. Never transmitted to our servers.
- fnvault_gemini_key — Stores your Gemini API key locally. Never transmitted anywhere except directly to Google's API.
You can disable cookies in your browser settings. This may affect some features of the site.
🔑 Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services:
- Fortnite-API.com — An unofficial community API used to fetch Fortnite cosmetic images. Requests are made directly from your browser.
- Google Gemini API — Used with your own API key to generate account data. Your key is stored locally and requests go directly to Google's servers. We have no access to your API key or generated data.
- Google Analytics — (Coming soon) We will add Google Analytics for traffic insights. We will update this policy when it's added.
🛡️ Data Security
Since most data is stored locally in your browser using localStorage, your information remains on your device. We do not have servers that store personal data from site visitors. The only data that leaves your browser is:
- API requests to Fortnite-API.com for cosmetic images
- API requests to Google's servers when using the Gemini generator (using your own API key)
- Contact form submissions
👶 Children's Privacy
Fortnite Vault is intended for use by individuals who are at least 13 years old. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Fortnite is rated Teen (T) by the ESRB for ages 13+.
📝 Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of any significant changes by updating the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
