Privacy & Data Protection

Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Shells Wiki collects, uses, and protects your information when you access our website. Last updated: August 11, 2026.

We are committed to being transparent about the data we handle and how third-party services such as analytics may collect information when you use this site.

Introduction

Shells Wiki (shells.wiki) is an unofficial fan-made guide site for the Roblox game Shells. This policy explains what personal data is and is not handled when you visit the site. By using Shells Wiki, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Shells Wiki is not affiliated with Roblox Corporation or the developers of Shells. We cannot access your Roblox account, in-game purchases, or platform data.

Information We Collect

Shells Wiki does not require an account to access any content on the site. We only receive personal information when you choose to contact us directly, such as by sending an email to our support address.

When you visit the site, limited technical data may be collected automatically by third-party tools we use, including:

  • Browser type, version, and operating system.
  • Approximate geographic location derived from IP address.
  • Referring URL, pages visited, and time spent on pages.
  • Device type and screen resolution.

This technical data is collected by analytics providers as described below, not stored directly by Shells Wiki.

Analytics & Cookies

Types of cookies that may be set on this site include:

  • Analytics cookies: Used to understand traffic patterns and user behavior on the site in aggregate, anonymized form.
  • Functional cookies: Used by the browser to maintain basic page behavior and user preferences.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; note that disabling cookies may affect how some parts of the site display.

Google Advertising, Cookies & Identifiers

Shells Wiki may use Google AdSense after the site is approved. When Google advertising is enabled, Google and its advertising partners may place or read cookies on your browser, use web beacons, process IP addresses, or use other device and online identifiers to serve, measure, personalize, and protect advertising.

Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Where personalized advertising is permitted, advertising cookies may help Google and its partners show ads based on those visits. You can learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services on Google's partner sites policy page. You may manage personalized advertising through My Ad Center, subject to availability in your region.

We do not send names, email addresses, phone numbers, or other directly identifying contact information to Google in ad requests. Contact emails are used only to respond to the message, handle corrections, or meet legal obligations described in this policy.

Consent for visitors in the EEA, United Kingdom, and Switzerland

Before serving personalized ads where consent is required, Shells Wiki will use a Google-certified consent management platform to request and record the visitor's choices. Visitors will be able to accept, reject, or manage relevant consent options. Until that consent mechanism is active, personalized advertising must not be enabled for affected traffic.

Precise location and sensitive data

Shells Wiki does not request GPS, Wi-Fi, or cell-tower-derived precise location and does not build advertising audiences from sensitive information. Approximate country or region may be inferred by service providers from an IP address for security, analytics, legal compliance, or advertising delivery.

Information Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share limited data with service providers that help us operate the website, such as hosting providers, analytics services, and advertising networks.

We may also disclose information in the following circumstances:

  • To comply with legal obligations or respond to lawful requests from government or law enforcement.
  • To protect the rights, safety, and security of Shells Wiki and its users.
  • To investigate potential violations of our Terms of Service.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights under applicable privacy laws such as GDPR (European Union) or CCPA (California, USA) regarding personal data. These rights may include the right to access, correct, or request deletion of personal information associated with your use of this site.

Because Shells Wiki does not maintain user accounts or store personal profiles, the practical scope of these rights is limited primarily to data you may have submitted through direct contact (email). To make a privacy request, contact us at the address listed below.

Data Security

We take reasonable technical precautions to protect the site and any communications with us. However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure. Standard web risks apply to third-party scripts, network connections, and email communications, and no environment can be guaranteed to be risk-free.

Please do not send passwords, payment information, or sensitive personal credentials to us by email.

Children's Privacy

Shells Wiki does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us so we can remove it. If you are under 13, please do not submit personal information through any contact form or email.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or applicable law. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date at the top. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
