Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Battle Rampages (“Battle Rampages”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information when you visit and read our website at https://battlerampages.com and the pages, articles, and features available under the domain battlerampages.com (together, the “Site”). It also describes the privacy choices and rights available to you.

Effective Date: August 1, 2026

Introduction, Who We Are, and Scope

Battle Rampages is an independent editorial publication that offers free-to-read general-interest and personal-finance articles. Battle Rampages operates the Site and is the party responsible for the personal information described in this Policy. For the purposes of the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR” and “UK GDPR”), Battle Rampages acts as the “data controller”. For the purposes of the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CCPA/CPRA”), Battle Rampages is the “business”.

The Site is a free-to-read publication. It has no user accounts, no login or registration, no paywall or subscription, no online store or purchases, no newsletter sign-up, no comment sections, no forums, and no file uploads. The only place where you can voluntarily submit personal information to us is our Contact page at /contact-us/. Apart from that, the information we handle is limited to the technical and usage data that is collected automatically whenever any visitor loads a web page, as described below.

The Site is supported by third-party advertising, and we acquire visitors through paid advertising campaigns. Our audience is primarily in the United States, along with international visitors, including from the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and the United Kingdom. As a result, your information may be processed in the United States and in other countries, as explained in “International Data Transfers” below.

By using the Site, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with it, please discontinue use of the Site. This Policy should be read together with our Cookie Policy, which describes the specific cookies and similar technologies used on the Site, and, where relevant, our Terms of Use.

This Policy does not apply to any third-party website, advertisement, or service that you may reach through a link or an advertisement on the Site. Those third parties operate under their own privacy policies (see “Third-Party Links and Advertisements” below).

Information We Collect

We collect two categories of information: information you provide to us directly, and information collected automatically when you visit the Site.

a) Information you provide to us (Contact page)

The only place on the Site where you can voluntarily give us personal information is the Contact page at /contact-us/. If you choose to contact us, we collect:

  • your name (or the name you choose to provide);
  • your email address; and
  • the content of the message you choose to send us, together with any additional information you decide to include in it.

You are not required to submit this information to read the Site — it is provided only if you choose to get in touch. Please do not include sensitive or special-category information (for example, government identifiers, financial account numbers, or health information) in your message; we do not need it, do not ask for it, and do not knowingly collect it.

b) Information collected automatically

Like most websites, when you visit the Site we and our service providers automatically collect certain technical and usage information through server logs, cookies, analytics tags, and advertising tags. This may include:

  • your IP address;
  • approximate location derived from your IP address (typically at the country, region, or city level, not precise GPS location);
  • device and browser information, such as device type, operating system, browser type and version, language, and screen or viewport characteristics;
  • usage and log data, such as the pages and articles you view, the date and time of your visit, time spent on a page, the links you click, and how you navigate the Site;
  • the referring URL or campaign source that brought you to the Site; and
  • cookie identifiers and similar online/device identifiers used for analytics and advertising, as further described below and in our Cookie Policy.

We do not combine the information you provide through the Contact page with automatically collected data for advertising or profiling purposes.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We and our partners use cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, software development kits (SDKs), and similar technologies (together, “cookies”) to operate the Site, understand how it is used, and serve and measure advertising. These technologies generally fall into three groups:

  • Strictly necessary / essential — required for the Site to load and function correctly and to keep it secure. These are always active and do not require your consent.
  • Analytics — help us understand how visitors find and use the Site so we can measure our audience and improve content and performance (for example, Google Analytics 4).
  • Advertising — set by third-party advertising partners and their downstream partners to serve ads, cap how often you see the same ad (frequency capping), measure ad performance, and, where permitted, deliver interest-based (behavioural) advertising.

Where required by law (including for EEA and UK visitors), analytics and advertising cookies are set only after you have given consent through our cookie/consent mechanism, and you can change or withdraw your choices at any time. Essential cookies are always active because the Site cannot function without them. You can also control cookies through your browser settings.

A full description of the specific cookies and similar technologies we use, their purposes, and their durations is provided in our separate Cookie Policy. We cross-link to it here rather than duplicating the full cookie table in this Privacy Policy.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information described above for the following purposes:

  • To operate and maintain the Site — to serve pages and articles to your device reliably, ensure the Site displays correctly, and keep it available.
  • To keep the Site secure — to detect, prevent, and investigate fraud, abuse, security incidents, and technical failures, to maintain server logs for diagnostic and security purposes, and to protect the integrity of the Site and its visitors.
  • To respond to your enquiries — to receive, review, and reply to messages you send us through the Contact page and to follow up as needed.
  • To measure and understand our audience — to analyse traffic and usage trends so we can improve our content, layout, and performance, and to evaluate the paid advertising campaigns and referral sources that bring visitors to the Site.
  • To serve and measure advertising — to display third-party programmatic advertising, apply frequency capping, measure the delivery and effectiveness of advertising, and, where permitted, support interest-based advertising through our advertising partners.
  • To comply with law and enforce our terms — to meet legal and regulatory obligations, respond to lawful requests, and establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

We do not use the information you provide through the Contact page to serve targeted advertising or to build interest-based advertising audiences or marketing profiles.

Legal Bases for Processing (EEA and UK Visitors)

If you are located in the EEA or the UK, the GDPR and UK GDPR require us to have a valid legal basis for each processing activity. Depending on the activity, we rely on the following legal bases:

  • Consent (Article 6(1)(a)) — for setting and reading non-essential cookies and similar technologies, including analytics cookies and advertising cookies, and for the interest-based advertising and audience-measurement processing that depends on them. You may withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal. You can withdraw consent through the cookie/consent controls described in our Cookie Policy.
  • Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)) — for operating and securing the Site, maintaining basic server logs, preventing fraud and abuse, and ensuring the technical integrity and reliability of the Site. Our legitimate interest is running a secure, functioning publication, and we balance it against your rights and freedoms.
  • Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)) — for responding to messages you send us through the Contact page. When you contact us, we process your name, email address, and message on the basis of our legitimate interest in responding to the voluntary enquiry you have made and managing our correspondence with you.
  • Compliance with a legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c)) — where we must process personal information to comply with applicable law or a lawful request from a public authority.

Where our advertising partners act as independent controllers for interest-based advertising, they rely on their own legal bases and are responsible for their own processing, as described below. Where we rely on legitimate interests, you have the right to object, as described in “Your Privacy Rights”.

Advertising and Analytics

The Site is free to read and is supported by third-party advertising and analytics. This section explains those services and the choices available to you.

Analytics — Google Analytics 4

We use Google Analytics 4 (gtag.js), a web analytics service provided by Google, to measure our audience and understand how visitors use the Site (for example, which pages are viewed and how visitors arrive). Google Analytics sets cookies and collects usage and device information such as pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser type, and referring source. Google Analytics 4 uses your IP address to derive an approximate location and does not log or store your IP address. In this context, Google acts as our processor / service provider, processing analytics data on our behalf and under our instructions.

You can opt out of Google Analytics across websites by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, by declining analytics cookies where prompted, or through your browser and cookie controls.

Third-party programmatic advertising

Advertising on the Site is delivered through an external ad-management wrapper script embedded on every page. This wrapper connects the Site to third-party advertising networks, exchanges, demand partners, and their downstream partners — including Google and other advertising technology providers. These partners may set and read cookies and device identifiers in order to:

  • select and serve display advertisements;
  • perform frequency capping (limiting how often you see the same ad);
  • measure ad delivery, viewability, and performance; and
  • deliver interest-based (behavioural) advertising based on your activity across different websites over time, where permitted.

Many of these advertising partners act as independent controllers of the data they collect through the Site and process it under their own privacy policies, over which we have limited control. We do not control, and are not responsible for, the independent data practices of these advertising partners.

Your advertising choices and opt-out routes

You can limit or opt out of interest-based advertising through the following industry tools and controls:

  • Google Ads Settings — manage or turn off personalised Google ads at adssettings.google.com;
  • Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) — YourAdChoices opt-out at optout.aboutads.info;
  • Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) — opt-out at optout.networkadvertising.org;
  • European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA) — Your Online Choices at youronlinechoices.eu (for EEA/UK visitors); and
  • Browser and device controls — including the Global Privacy Control (GPC), your browser’s cookie controls, and the Do Not Track (DNT) setting available in some browsers.

We honour the Global Privacy Control (GPC) as a valid opt-out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for the transmitting browser, where required by applicable law. Do Not Track is offered by some browsers, but there is no common industry standard for how it should be interpreted; we therefore treat it as one available browser control rather than a guaranteed opt-out.

Opting out of interest-based advertising does not stop you from seeing advertisements; it means the advertisements you see may be less relevant to you. Because these opt-outs are typically stored in a cookie, you may need to renew them if you clear cookies, change browsers, or use a different device.

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information for money. We share personal information only in the limited circumstances described below:

  • Service providers and processors — with vendors who perform services for us, such as website hosting and infrastructure, security, content delivery, and analytics. They are permitted to process personal information only on our instructions, under contract, and for the purposes of providing their services.
  • Advertising and analytics partners — with the advertising and analytics providers described in “Advertising and Analytics” (including Google and third-party ad networks, exchanges, and their downstream partners), which may collect and use cookie and device identifiers and usage data through the tags embedded on the Site. Some of these partners act as independent controllers or businesses for their own purposes.
  • Legal, safety, and compliance — with courts, regulators, law-enforcement, or other authorities or third parties, where we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to comply with applicable law or legal process, to respond to a lawful request, to enforce our terms, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Battle Rampages, our visitors, or others.
  • Business transfers — in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, acquisition, financing, reorganisation, sale of assets, or other corporate transaction, personal information may be transferred to a successor or acquirer, subject to this Privacy Policy.

“Sale” and “sharing” under California and similar laws. We do not sell your personal information in exchange for money, and we do not trade the details you send through the Contact page for payment. However, the use of cookies and identifiers by third-party advertising partners for interest-based (cross-context behavioural) advertising may be considered a “sale” or a “share” of personal information under the CCPA/CPRA and some other US state privacy laws. We disclose this honestly. You can opt out of this activity at any time using the opt-out routes in “Advertising and Analytics”, our cookie/consent mechanism, or by enabling the Global Privacy Control in a supported browser. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16 years of age.

International Data Transfers

Battle Rampages primarily serves visitors in the United States, along with international visitors. We and our service providers and advertising and analytics partners may store, transfer, and access personal information in the United States and in other countries whose data-protection laws may differ from, and may be less protective than, those of your country of residence.

If you are located in the EEA or the UK, transfers of your personal information to countries that have not received an adequacy decision are safeguarded by appropriate measures required under the GDPR and UK GDPR, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses and the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or Addendum, together with any supplementary measures needed to protect your information. Where our partners act as independent controllers, they rely on their own transfer mechanisms under their own policies.

You may request more information about the safeguards we rely on for international transfers by contacting us at [email protected].

Data Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

  • Contact messages — we retain the name, email address, and message content you submit through the Contact page for as long as needed to handle your enquiry and for a reasonable period afterwards for record-keeping, follow-up, and legal or security matters, after which we delete or anonymise it.
  • Server logs and security data — retained for a limited period appropriate to diagnostics, security, and abuse prevention.
  • Analytics data — retained according to the data-retention settings we configure in Google Analytics 4 and Google’s own retention policies.
  • Advertising data — data collected by third-party advertising partners is retained by those partners in accordance with their own policies and retention periods.

When personal information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete, anonymise, or aggregate it. Where deletion is not immediately feasible (for example, because information is held in secure backups), we isolate it from further processing until deletion is possible.

Data Security

We take the security of personal information seriously and implement reasonable and appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect it against unauthorised access, use, alteration, disclosure, loss, or destruction. These measures include serving the Site over encrypted connections (HTTPS), applying access controls, and relying on reputable service providers.

However, no method of transmission over the internet and no method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You transmit information to us at your own risk, and we encourage you to send only what is necessary when you use the Contact page. If we become aware of a security incident affecting your personal information, we will respond in accordance with applicable law, including any breach-notification obligations.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal information. We honour the rights available to you under applicable law and will not discriminate against you for exercising them.

EEA and UK visitors (GDPR / UK GDPR)

Subject to the conditions and exceptions in the law, you have the right to:

  • Access — obtain confirmation of whether we process your personal data and a copy of it;
  • Rectification — have inaccurate or incomplete personal data corrected;
  • Erasure — request deletion of your personal data (the “right to be forgotten”) in certain circumstances;
  • Restriction — request that we limit our processing in certain circumstances;
  • Objection — object to processing based on our legitimate interests, and object at any time to processing for direct marketing (including interest-based advertising);
  • Portability — receive certain personal data you provided to us in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, and have it transmitted to another controller where technically feasible;
  • Withdraw consent — where we rely on your consent (for example, analytics and advertising cookies), withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing; and
  • Lodge a complaint — with your local data-protection supervisory authority (in the UK, the Information Commissioner’s Office, or “ICO”). We would, however, appreciate the chance to address your concerns first.

California residents (CCPA / CPRA)

Subject to the conditions and exceptions in the law, you have the right to:

  • Know / access — request the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the sources, the business purposes, and the categories of third parties with whom we disclose it;
  • Delete — request deletion of personal information we collected from you;
  • Correct — request correction of inaccurate personal information we maintain about you;
  • Opt out of sale/sharing — opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising, through our cookie/consent mechanism, the industry opt-out tools listed above, or by enabling the Global Privacy Control (GPC) in a supported browser, which we treat as a valid opt-out request; and
  • Non-discrimination — you will not receive discriminatory treatment for exercising your rights; we will not deny you access to the Site, charge you a different price, or provide a different quality of content or service because you exercised your rights.

We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration, and we do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16 years of age.

How to exercise your rights

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected] or through our Contact page at /contact-us/. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law. Because we do not operate user accounts, much of the information we hold is not directly associated with your identity; to protect your privacy we may need to verify your request using the email address you contact us from, and we may be unable to identify data that is not reasonably linkable to you. You may use an authorised agent to submit a request on your behalf where the law permits, subject to verification. There is normally no charge, although we may decline a request that is manifestly unfounded, excessive, or repetitive, or where an exception applies. Many advertising and cookie choices can also be exercised directly through the cookie controls and opt-out tools described in this Policy and in our Cookie Policy.

Children’s Privacy

The Site is intended for a general, adult audience and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age (in line with the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, “COPPA”), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16 years of age where a higher age threshold applies under the GDPR or UK GDPR.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at [email protected]. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child in a manner inconsistent with applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information promptly.

Third-Party Links and Advertisements

The Site contains links to, and displays, third-party websites, advertisements, and resources that are not operated or controlled by Battle Rampages. If you click a link or an advertisement, you will be taken to a website or service that we do not operate and do not control.

This Privacy Policy applies only to the Site. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or data collection of any third-party website, service, or advertiser, including any site you reach by clicking an advertisement or an external link. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of every third party you visit before providing any personal information to it. The inclusion of a link or an advertisement does not imply our endorsement of the linked site or its operator.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons. When we make changes, we will revise the “Effective Date” at the top of this page and post the updated version at this URL.

If we make material changes, we will take additional or more prominent steps to inform you where required by law. Your continued use of the Site after an updated policy takes effect constitutes your acknowledgment of the changes to the extent permitted by law. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

Governing Law

This Privacy Policy is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Brazil, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. This is without prejudice to any mandatory data-protection rights you have under the laws of your country of residence, including your right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. Nothing in this section limits or overrides those statutory rights.
