Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 12, 2025

Upload Labs is a community-run fansite that publishes guides, wiki entries, and localization content for the game “Upload Labs.” This website is informational only: we do not host user accounts, payment features, or interactive forums. Because of this, the personal data we process is very limited. This page explains what information is collected, how it is used, and the choices available to you.

1. Data We Collect

1.1 Server logs (automatic)

When you visit https://www.upload-labs.com, our hosting provider (Vercel, Inc.) temporarily stores standard server logs. These logs typically include:

  • IP address
  • Date and time of request
  • URL and headers sent by your browser (user agent, referrer)

We do not attempt to identify individual visitors through these logs.

1.2 Contact e‑mail

If you write to us at contact@upload-labs.com, we will receive the e‑mail address and any information you choose to include in the message.

1.3 No cookies or analytics trackers

We do not set first-party cookies, run advertising scripts, or use third-party analytics suites. The site relies only on essential hosting infrastructure provided by Vercel.

2. How We Use Data

  • Provide and secure the site. Log data helps Vercel deliver content, monitor reliability, and protect the service against abuse.
  • Respond to inquiries. We use contact information solely to answer questions or follow up on feedback you send us.

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal data, and we do not send marketing e‑mails.

  • Server logs: collected under our legitimate interest to ensure network security and service availability (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).
  • Contact e‑mails: processed with your consent, implied when you voluntarily contact us (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR).

4. Data Sharing

We share data only with service providers who help us operate the site:

  • Vercel, Inc. (United States) hosts the website and stores temporary server logs under their Privacy Policy.
  • Email provider. Our inbox is managed by a mainstream e‑mail service that stores messages in accordance with their security practices.

We do not permit these vendors to use information for their own advertising purposes.

5. Data Retention

  • Server logs are typically retained by Vercel for up to 30 days before automatic deletion, unless we must investigate a security incident.
  • Contact e‑mails are kept only as long as needed to resolve your request or maintain an auditable trail of correspondence. You may ask us to delete prior messages at any time.

6. International Transfers

Because Vercel is headquartered in the United States and uses a global infrastructure, basic hosting data may be processed outside your country. Vercel implements safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses. By accessing the site, you acknowledge these arrangements.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Request a copy of personal data we hold about you
  • Ask us to correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your data
  • Object to processing based on legitimate interests
  • Withdraw consent for processing that relies on consent

To exercise these rights, contact us at contact@upload-labs.com. We may ask for limited information to verify your identity before fulfilling a request.

8. Children’s Privacy

This site is intended for general audiences and is not targeted at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

Our guides or wiki pages may link to external websites (for example, the official Upload Labs Steam page or community resources). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. Review their policies before providing personal information.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy if our data practices change. The revision date at the top of this page will always show the latest version. If updates materially affect your privacy rights, we will highlight the change on the site.

11. Contact

If you have questions about this policy or how we handle data, reach us at:

We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and no later than 30 days where required by law.
