Privacy Policy
Last updated:
This page explains what Zelda Notes ("we") collects when you visit zeldanotes.com and play the Ocarina of Time quiz, and why. We do not sell personal information, and you never need an account to use this site.
What we collect
A random visitor ID. When you play the quiz, like or comment, the site sets a cookie called gf_vid that holds a random visitor ID. It lets the quiz remember your best score and the number of rounds you have played, count your like only once, and limit spam. The ID is random and is not linked to your name or email.
When you play the quiz. When you answer a question, the answer you picked is counted toward that question's answer statistics, which other players see as totals only.
When you like or comment. If you press Like, we count it, and your browser remembers that you liked the page. If you post a comment, we store the name you typed (optional), your comment and the time, and we show them publicly on the page. Your browser also remembers the name you typed so you do not need to enter it again. Links are not allowed in comments.
To stop spam. When you answer a quiz question, like or comment, the engine stores a one-way hash of your IP address combined with this site's ID, which it uses for rate limits. It does not store the IP address itself.
Visit statistics. We use a statistics service, PVUV, to count visits. It records which pages are viewed, which site sent the visitor, and the visitor's country and device type. We use these numbers to see which pages people use and to improve the site.
Hosting. The site runs on Cloudflare, which handles every request to deliver the pages. Cloudflare's own privacy policy covers that processing.
What we do not do
- We do not ask for your email or any other contact details to play.
- We do not show ads on this site at the moment. If that changes, we will update this page first.
- We do not use your quiz answers or comments for anything other than running and improving this site.
Your choices
You can clear the site's cookie and stored data in your browser settings at any time. The quiz still works afterwards, but your saved best score is no longer connected to your browser. To ask us to remove a comment you posted, email contact@zeldanotes.com with the page and the text of the comment.
Children
This site is a general-audience fan site. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Comments are optional and do not ask for real names.
Changes
If we change how we handle data, we will update this page and the date at the top.
