Privacy Policy

Effective November 14, 2026

Shadow Anarchist ("we", "the site") is a free, unofficial fan tool for building Shadowrun: Anarchy 2.0 characters and sharing Shadow Amps. This policy explains what we collect and why. Questions or requests: shadowanarchistadmin@gmail.com.

What we collect

• If you sign in with Google: your Google account's email address and its account identifier. We request only the openid and email permissions — no name, photo, contacts or anything else from your Google account. We use the email only to identify your account and to contact you about it if needed. It is never shown to other users.
• Your handle: the public name you choose. It appears on Amps and comments you post.
• Content you create: runners saved to your account, Shadow Amps you publish, comments, votes and reports you submit.
• A session cookie that keeps you signed in (expires after 30 days or when you sign out). We use no advertising or tracking cookies and no third-party analytics.
• Technical logs: our hosting provider (Cloudflare) processes request data such as IP addresses to deliver and secure the site, and we may briefly see request logs when fixing problems.

What stays in your browser

If you aren't signed in, your runners and your theme choice are saved only in your browser's local storage. We never receive them unless you sign in and choose to move them to your account.

What is public

• Shadow Amps you publish, your comments, your handle, and vote totals are visible to everyone.
• Runners are private by default. If you mark a runner public, anyone with its link can view it (read-only) and copy it.
• Reports you file are visible only to moderators.

Who we share data with

We don't sell or rent your data, and we don't share it with advertisers. We rely on two service providers: Google (sign-in) and Cloudflare (hosting and database). We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the site and its users from abuse.

Keeping and deleting your data

We keep your account and content until you delete it or ask us to. You can delete your runners, Amps and comments yourself at any time. To delete your whole account — including your email address — email shadowanarchistadmin@gmail.com from the address you sign in with, and we'll remove it within 30 days. Backups we keep for recovery are overwritten over time.

Children

The site is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we'll delete it.

Changes

If we change this policy we'll update the date above, and for significant changes we'll post a notice on the site.
