About this policy
This policy applies to Probably Stolen Wiki at probablystolenguide.com. The Probably Stolen Wiki team is responsible for the information handling described here.
We use information you submit, guide conversations and usage records to provide and improve the site. Below we explain these uses, service providers, retention and your choices.
Messages, feedback and the guide
You can read the Wiki without an account. When you send website feedback, we receive your message, any attachments, the page address, submission time and any contact details you choose to provide, so we can handle your feedback and reply.
We save original guide conversations, generated answers, ratings and related usage and service records to provide answers, maintain conversations, investigate problems, prevent abuse and internally evaluate and improve the guide and Wiki content. Conversations and feedback are not published. AI service providers process the conversation content needed to generate answers. KIE AI states that text and metadata logs are retained for two months. You can also submit written feedback about an answer. Your message is saved with the same answer and conversation snapshot.
Usage analysis and browser data
We use visit statistics, traffic sources, page interactions, performance information, heatmaps and session replay to understand use and improve the site. This can include browser and device information, page addresses, clicks and scrolling. We also store preferences such as your theme in your browser. Article feedback saved only on your device is separate from guide ratings sent to us.
Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity provide usage analysis; Cloudflare provides site performance measurement. Before you choose, or if you decline analytics cookies, limited measurement without analytics cookies continues. Allowing analytics cookies enables activity to be linked across pages and visits. You can change this choice from Cookies in the footer.
We also run self-hosted Plausible for aggregate page views, traffic sources, outbound clicks, downloads, form submissions and missing-page statistics. Plausible does not use cookies or receive account identifiers, guide questions or conversation content from this integration. This measurement operates independently of the analytics-cookie choice described above.
Advertising
Advertising helps support this Wiki. When a page displays an ad, Adsterra and its partners may use cookies, IP addresses, device and browser information, and ad interactions to deliver and measure advertising, limit repeated ads, and prevent fraud.
Advertising choices are separate from analytics cookies. Where prior consent is required, ads wait for your permission; in other regions, ads may load before you make a choice. You can allow or decline advertising separately from Cookies in the footer. Withdrawing advertising permission stops the current ad frames. You can also manage cookies in your browser settings.
Service providers and sharing
We use providers for hosting and security, AI processing, feedback communications, analytics and advertising. They receive information needed for those services. Cloudflare provides infrastructure, OpenAI, KIE AI and OpenRouter provide AI processing, Google provides analytics, Adsterra provides advertising, and Microsoft provides Clarity. Their privacy and data-use information is linked below. Analytics and advertising providers may also process usage data under their own policies.
We may also disclose information when you request or authorize it, or as necessary to meet legal obligations or protect the site and its users. Providers may process information outside your country or region; we apply safeguards required by applicable law. External websites you choose to visit have their own privacy practices.
Retention and protection
We determine retention by purpose. Conversations and ratings are kept while needed for quality review, internal evaluation or content improvement, with periodic review of continued need. Feedback is kept through resolution and necessary follow-up. Operational and analytics records are kept for the periods needed to investigate problems, protect the service and compare usage trends.
We delete identifiable records when they are no longer needed for these purposes. Records required for legal obligations or an active dispute are retained for the necessary period. Non-identifying aggregate statistics may be kept longer. We use access controls and appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect non-public information, limiting access to authorized people and necessary providers.
Your choices and requests
You can change analytics choices from Cookies in the footer and manage browser storage in your browser settings. Clearing a guide conversation removes local history; it does not delete records already saved by us. Changing consent controls future processing and does not itself erase existing records.
To ask about information relating to you, or request access, correction or deletion, email [email protected]. We verify requests and handle them under applicable rules, explaining the outcome and any necessary retention. A parent or guardian can also contact us about a child’s information. You do not need to create an account to make a request.
Changes and contact
The revision date appears at the top of this page. We explain material changes to data uses or sharing through an appropriate notice and provide a new choice or consent request where needed. For privacy questions, contact [email protected].
