Privacy Policy

The TizWildin Entertainment HUB ("we", "our", "us") is a personal project operated by Gary Richard Doman (GareBear99 / TizWildin), based in Williams Lake, British Columbia, Canada. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit this website. It is modelled on the policy of our sister project ADMENSION and adapted to what this site actually does.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide

• Account information: if you use the Account page, you may sign in with Google and link SoundCloud, Spotify or GitHub accounts. We receive the identifiers those services share (such as your display name and account ID) and, where you ask for licence keys by email ("Send My Keys to My Email"), your email address.
• Licence and subscription data: ProEQ8 licence activations and Master Key subscriptions are processed through the HUB backend and Stripe. Payment details are processed by Stripe; we do not store credit card numbers.
• Communications: messages you send through GitHub issues (our published support route) or other linked channels.

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

• Usage data: pages visited and features used on this site.
• Device information: browser type, operating system, device type and screen size.
• Approximate location: country/region derived from your IP address by our hosting provider.
• Local storage: your browser's local storage holds dashboard preferences only (for example the automatic update-check toggle). No tracking cookie is set by this site itself.

2. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

2.1 Cookies We Use

• Essential / preference storage: browser local storage for dashboard preferences (update-check toggle, last-viewed tab). This stays on your device and is not sent to us.
• No first-party tracking cookies: this site does not set advertising or analytics cookies of its own.

2.2 Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense) — Disclosure

The HUB does not currently display advertisements, and no Google AdSense code is live on this site. This section discloses what will happen if advertising is enabled in the future, as required before any ad network is used:

• Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting aboutads.info.
• For more on how Google uses information from sites that use its services, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

When ads are introduced, this policy will be updated to state the exact vendors in use, and an ads.txt file (already published at /ads.txt) declares the authorised seller relationship.

2.3 Third-Party Services

This site links to and fetches data from third-party services, which may set their own cookies and collect data under their own policies:

• GitHub / GitHub Pages — hosting, source code, release checks and the GitHub API (GitHub Privacy Statement).
• Google — Google sign-in on the Account page, and (if enabled in future) AdSense advertising.
• itch.io — GareBearProductionz store listings; checkout and downloads happen on itch.io.
• SoundCloud, YouTube, Spotify, Facebook — linked music and community pages and embedded players.
• Stripe — payment processing for Master Key subscriptions.
• Cloudflare Workers — the HUB API backend (community stats, licence activation, radio service).

2.4 Managing Cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings (refuse or delete cookies), through NAI Opt-Out and DAA Opt-Out, and through Google Ad Settings for personalised ads.

3. How We Use Your Information

• Service delivery: operate the catalogue, release checks, licence activation and account features.
• Communications: respond to support requests and send licence keys you asked for.
• Improvement: understand which plugins, packs and pages are used, in aggregate.
• Compliance and abuse prevention: enforce terms, prevent fraud and meet legal obligations.

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data only in these circumstances:

• Service providers: hosting (GitHub Pages), payments (Stripe), authentication (Google) and the Cloudflare Workers backend, under their own terms.
• Advertising partners: only if advertising is enabled in future — limited data (such as approximate location and device type) to serve ads, as described in Section 2.2.
• Legal requirements: when required by law, subpoena, or to protect our rights.
• Aggregated data: anonymised statistics that cannot identify individuals.

5. Your Rights

If you are in the EEA, UK or Switzerland (GDPR) you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, port, and object to processing of your personal data, to withdraw consent at any time, and to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. California residents (CCPA/CPRA) have the right to know what personal information is collected, to request deletion, to opt out of any "sale" of personal information (we do not sell data), and to non-discrimination. In Canada, your information is handled under applicable federal and British Columbia privacy law. To exercise any of these rights, use the Contact page routes.

6. Data Security and Retention

The site is served over HTTPS. Account and licence data is retained only as long as needed to operate the account or licence, or until you ask for deletion. Usage data is kept in aggregate form. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Children's Privacy

This site is not intended for users under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.

8. Third-Party Links

This site contains links to third-party sites (GitHub, itch.io, SoundCloud, YouTube, Spotify, Facebook, Stripe). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites; please review their privacy policies before providing them with information.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. Material changes — in particular, the introduction of advertising — will be noted here before ads go live.
