This Privacy Policy explains how Rantey ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and safeguards information when you use our website and services. We take privacy seriously and aim to be transparent about what data we handle.
1. Information We Collect
When you use our Service we collect the following:
- IP address — used for rate limiting, abuse prevention, and approximate country detection.
- Country and region — derived from your IP via a third-party geolocation API.
- Email and password — only if you voluntarily submit them through the account generator; these are used to create game accounts on your behalf.
- Usage data — timestamps of requests, pages visited, and basic browser information for analytics.
- Cookies — a single cookie stores your selected language preference.
2. How We Use Your Information
- To create and deliver the game account you requested.
- To enforce our rate limits (1 generation per 3 hours per IP).
- To detect and block VPN / proxy abuse.
- To improve the Service via aggregated, anonymised analytics (e.g. most popular countries, peak usage hours).
- To maintain security and investigate fraudulent activity.
3. Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services, each with its own privacy policy:
- Google Analytics — for anonymous traffic measurement.
- Google AdSense — to display advertisements (uses cookies to personalise ads; you may opt out via Google settings).
- ip-api.com — for IP geolocation and VPN detection.
- Firebase — used to provision generated game accounts.
- Tencent Captcha — for bot protection on the account generator.
4. Data Retention
Rate limit records and IP logs are retained only as long as necessary for abuse prevention, typically up to 90 days. Generated account data (email + password) is shown to you in your browser and stored in our database solely to prevent duplicate issuance. We never sell or share this data with third parties for marketing purposes.
5. Cookies
We use minimal first-party cookies (such as lang for your language preference) and third-party cookies from Google Analytics and AdSense. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some functionality may be affected.
6. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:
- Request access to the personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction or deletion of your data.
- Object to or restrict certain processing activities.
- Withdraw consent at any time (where processing is based on consent).
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us through the contact page.
7. Security
We use industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), input validation, rate limiting, and restricted database access. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Children's Privacy
Our Service is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can remove it.
9. International Transfers
Your information may be processed on servers located in different countries. By using the Service you consent to any such transfer, which will always be carried out with appropriate safeguards.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
11. Contact
Questions or requests regarding this policy can be sent through our contact page or our Discord server.
