The Coffin of Andy This is the privacy policy for coffinofandyandleyley.com, an independent fan resource about The Coffin of Andy and Leyley. It is written by Coffin Archives Editorial, and it is meant to be read by actual humans, so I have tried to keep it short, specific, and free of the usual legal fog. If anything here is unclear, email us at contact@coffinofandyandleyley.com and ask. We would rather explain something twice than hide behind vague wording.
The short version, up front: we do not sell the game, we do not process payments, we do not run user accounts, and we do not collect personal information for the sake of it. The only time we knowingly receive personal information is when you email us. Everything else is aggregate, technical, and anonymous.
Information you send us directly
If you email us at contact@coffinofandyandleyley.com — or use the form on our contact page, which opens your own email app — we receive your email address and whatever you wrote in the message. We use that information for exactly one purpose: to reply to you, and, if you reported an error, to check it and fix the relevant page. That is it.
We do not sell email addresses. We do not add them to a marketing list, because we do not have one. We do not share your message with advertisers or other sites unless we are legally required to. We keep emails for as long as it takes to deal with the question or correction. If you ever want a message you sent us deleted, tell us which one and we will delete it.
Information collected automatically when you visit
Like almost every website, our hosting provider records basic technical information when you load a page: your IP address, the type of browser and device you are using, which pages you visited, and roughly when. We look at that information only in aggregate — which guides are popular, which pages people leave quickly, whether something is broken. We do not use it to identify individual readers, we do not build profiles of visitors, and we do not combine server logs with email addresses.
To put it bluntly: we are a small fan site, not a data company. The logs exist because hosting works that way, and we use them the way a shopkeeper counts foot traffic — to know what people find useful, not to know who they are.
Cookies and advertising
Google and third-party vendors use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet. In plain language: when you have visited other sites before, Google and its advertising partners may use that history, stored in cookies, to choose which ads to show you here. That is how personalised advertising works, and it is why you sometimes see ads that seem to follow you around the internet.
You can opt out of personalised advertising. To do that, visit Google Ads Settings, where you can control how Google uses your data for ads, or visit aboutads.info/choices, where you can opt out of personalised advertising from many vendors at once. You can also control or delete cookies in your own browser settings at any time. Blocking cookies may make some parts of the site behave differently — for example, an ad may not load, or a preference may not be remembered — but the guides themselves will still be readable, because the writing does not depend on cookies.
We do not control the cookies set by Google or by other advertising vendors, and we do not receive personal information about you from them. What we receive, if anything, is aggregate reporting: how many times an ad was shown, roughly, and whether it was clicked.
Analytics
We may use privacy-respecting analytics to count visits and see which pages are popular. Analytics data is aggregated — it tells us, for example, that the characters guide got a lot of readers this week, or that most visitors arrive on a phone. It does not include your name or email address unless you have emailed us separately, and we do not use analytics to track individual people.
Links to other websites
Our guides link out to the official game storefront, to fan-fiction archives, and to other external sites. Those sites have their own privacy policies, their own cookies, and their own practices, and we have no control over any of that. We are not responsible for what they collect or how they use it. Before you share personal information with an external site — creating an account, entering payment details — please read that site's own privacy policy first. A link from us is a reference, not a guarantee.
Children
This site is not aimed at children. It is written for adults and older teenagers who are interested in a mature-themed game, and it is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. The 18+ themes page is intended only for adults. If you are a parent and you believe a child has emailed us, contact us and we will delete the message.
Changes to this policy, and how to reach us
We may update this policy when our practices change — for example, if we start using a different analytics tool, or if advertising arrangements change. When we do, we will change the “last updated” date at the top of this page so you can tell at a glance whether anything moved.
If you have any questions about this policy, about cookies, or about how your information is handled here, the right place to ask is contact@coffinofandyandleyley.com, or through the contact page.
