Privacy Policy

How information is collected, used and shared on this site, and the choices available to you.

Effective date

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") explains what information is collected when you visit Pal-World.net, how that information is used and shared, and the choices available to you. Please read it carefully.

Operator and scope of this Policy

Pal-World.net (the "Site") is a fan-made Palworld reference resource operated by Jordan Vale ("we", "us" or "our"). This Policy applies to the Site and to every page served under the pal-world.net domain. It does not apply to any third-party site reached through a link on the Site.

The Site consists entirely of static files. There is no account system and no server of ours behind the pages; the search, the calculators and the team builder run within your browser.

© 2024-2026 Pal-World.net. Pal-World.net is not affiliated with Pocketpair. Palworld and all related assets are trademarks of Pocketpair, Inc.

Information collected

The Site does not collect personally identifiable information about you unless you expressly provide it. There is no registration, no newsletter, no comment facility and no contact form on the Site.

Information reaches third parties in three ways, each described below: measurement data processed by Google Analytics; technical request data processed by our hosting provider; and settings written into your own browser, which are not transmitted anywhere.

If you write to us at the address given under "Contact us", we receive your email address and the contents of your message, and use them only to respond to you.

Purposes and legal bases of processing

Measurement data is processed to understand which pages are used and to decide what to improve. Where the GDPR applies, this processing rests on our legitimate interest in understanding use of the Site; you may object at any time by using the opt-out under "Your rights and choices", which takes effect immediately.

Technical request data is processed to deliver the page you requested and to protect the Site against abuse. Where the GDPR applies, the legal basis is our legitimate interest in operating and securing the Site. This processing is not governed by the analytics opt-out, because the Site cannot be delivered to you without it.

Correspondence is processed in order to answer it, on the basis of our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries.

Third-party analytics

The Site uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC ("Google"), to measure page views. Google receives the page requested, the page or search that referred you, your browser and device type, and an approximate location derived from your IP address.

Google Analytics stores its own cookies (_ga and _ga_*) in your browser. They distinguish one browser from another, so that a second visit is not counted as a second visitor.

You may opt out at any time under "Your rights and choices". The Site runs Google Analytics under Google Consent Mode v2, and an opt-out sets every consent signal to "denied": from that point no cookies are stored, and what Google receives from your browser is an anonymous measurement that cannot be associated with a returning visitor. Google also publishes a browser add-on that disables Google Analytics measurement on every site that uses it.

Cookies and local storage

A cookie is a small file that a site stores in your browser. Two sets are set on the Site: the Google Analytics cookies described above, which are not set on a browser that has opted out, and cookies set by the advertising provider described under "Third-party advertising", which are set irrespective of that opt-out.

The Site also uses your browser’s local and session storage to retain a small number of settings, so that pages behave as you left them. These entries are written by the Site into your own browser, are not transmitted anywhere, and do not identify you.

KeyPurpose
themelocalStorageThe light or dark theme you selected.
pal-world:teamlocalStorageThe party assembled in the team builder, so that it survives a page reload.
pw.map.layers.*localStorageThe marker layers left enabled, recorded for each map.
pw.consentlocalStorageYour analytics opt-out, if you have made one.
pw-asset-reloadsessionStorageA deployment timestamp, used to refresh a page still running a superseded version of the Site.

Clearing site data for pal-world.net in your browser deletes all of them, including a recorded opt-out.

Do Not Track

Some browsers transmit a "Do Not Track" signal. There is no accepted industry standard for how a site should respond to it, and the Site does not respond to it. The opt-out under "Your rights and choices" is the control that governs measurement on the Site, and it applies irrespective of any browser signal.

Third-party advertising

Advertising on the Site is supplied by Adsterra. Each advertisement loads inside an isolated frame served from this domain. The Site passes no information about you to the provider, but the request your browser makes in order to fetch an advertisement carries what any request carries: your IP address, your user agent and the page you are reading.

The provider may set its own cookies and use those details in order to select an advertisement, to limit how often the same one is repeated, and to measure clicks. Its handling of that data is governed by its own privacy policy, linked below, which is also where any choice it offers over personalised advertising is found.

Advertising is served to every visitor. The opt-out offered under "Your rights and choices" governs measurement by Google Analytics and nothing else: it does not stop advertisements from being served, and it does not prevent or remove the provider’s cookies.

Sharing of your information

We do not sell your personal information to a third party for money. The Site does carry third-party advertising, and the request your browser makes for each advertisement discloses to the provider the technical details described under "Third-party advertising"; under some laws that disclosure is itself treated as "sharing" for cross-context behavioural advertising.

The Site is a set of static files served by Cloudflare Pages, provided by Cloudflare, Inc. As with any host, Cloudflare processes the technical details of each request — IP address, user agent, URL and timestamp — in order to deliver the page and to keep the Site available under abuse.

Apart from Google Analytics and the advertising provider named under "Third-party advertising", no third party is contacted while a page loads. Fonts are bundled into the Site rather than requested from Google Fonts, and the map tiles, Pal artwork and item icons are all served from this domain.

Information may also be disclosed where we are required to do so by law, or where disclosure is necessary to establish or defend our legal rights or to protect the safety of others.

Retention of your information

Measurement data associated with an individual user or event is retained by Google for 14 months from collection, after which it is deleted. Aggregated reports, which identify neither a user nor an event, are not subject to that limit.

Request logs are retained by Cloudflare in accordance with its own policy. Entries written into your browser remain until you clear them, as described under "Cookies and local storage".

We operate no database of our own, so no information about you is retained by us other than correspondence you choose to send.

Security

The Site is served exclusively over HTTPS, so traffic between your browser and the Site is encrypted in transit. We operate no server, no database and no account system, and hold no personal information about visitors; the measurement and request data described in this Policy is held by Google and by Cloudflare under their own security programmes.

No method of transmission over the internet is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Location of operation and international transfers

The Site is delivered from a global content delivery network, and the providers named in this Policy — Google and Cloudflare — are established in the United States. Information described in this Policy may therefore be transferred to, processed in and stored in countries other than your own, including the United States.

Where information is transferred out of the EEA, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, those providers rely on transfer mechanisms recognised under applicable law, such as the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework and the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses.

Your rights and choices

If you are in the EEA, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the GDPR gives you the right to request access to the personal data held about you, to have it corrected, erased, restricted or transferred, and to object to processing carried out on the basis of a legitimate interest. There is no account here to look up: the personal data in question is what Google Analytics processes as described above, and objecting stops that processing.

The switch below is how that objection is made. Your choice is stored in your own browser and nowhere else, applies to this browser from the moment it is made, and may be changed at any time:

Complaints regarding our processing of your data

If you believe your personal data has been handled improperly, please write to us first at the address given under "Contact us"; we will respond within one month. If you are in the EEA, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority of the country in which you live or work, or in which you consider the infringement to have occurred.

Notice of privacy rights to California residents

The categories of personal information collected through the Site in the past twelve months are internet or other electronic network activity information, and approximate geolocation inferred from an IP address, in each case as described under "Third-party analytics" and "Sharing of your information". No other category is collected.

We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration. The Site carries third-party advertising as described under "Third-party advertising", and that disclosure may constitute "sharing" for cross-context behavioural advertising as that term is defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under sixteen years of age.

California residents may request to know the categories and specific pieces of personal information collected about them, to have that information deleted, and to have it corrected, and will not be treated differently for exercising those rights. To make a request, write to us at the address given under "Contact us".

No use by children

The Site is a reference resource for a video game and is not directed at children under thirteen years of age. It requests personal information from nobody, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from a child. If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please write to us and we will delete it.

Effective date and changes to this Policy

This Policy is effective as of the date shown at the top of this page and describes the Site as it stood on that date. We may amend it, and the date will be updated when we do. If the Site begins to collect information that it does not collect today, this Policy will be amended before that collection begins. Your continued use of the Site after an amendment takes effect constitutes acceptance of the amended Policy.
