Privacy Policy

1. General Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how SkinsWiki, available at wiki.skin.club (“Website”), collects, uses, and protects any information relating to users of the Website. SkinsWiki is operated by Moontain Limited, a company registered under the laws of the Republic of Cyprus (registration number HE410299), located at 13 Kypranoros Street, Office 205, 1061, Nicosia, Cyprus, which acts as the Data Controller for the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”) and applicable Cyprus data protection law.

Because SkinsWiki is a purely informational encyclopedia that does not require user registration, login, or any form of account creation, the personal data we collect is minimal. This Policy explains what limited data is collected, why, and your rights in relation to it.

This Privacy Policy should be read alongside the SkinsWiki Terms of Use, which governs your use of the Website.

2. What Data We Collect and Why

SkinsWiki processes personal data only where there is a lawful basis to do so under Article 6 of the GDPR. The data we collect falls into two categories.

Legal basis: Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Our legitimate interest is to understand how the Website is used, maintain its security and stability, fix technical issues, and improve content quality. This data does not identify you personally.

2.2 Communication Data (Voluntary)

If you contact SkinsWiki by email, for example, to submit a copyright takedown request or a general inquiry, we will process your name, email address, and the content of your message.

Legal basis: Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) and, where applicable, compliance with a legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR) in relation to intellectual property and copyright matters.

Communication data is used solely to respond to and resolve your inquiry. It is not used for marketing or shared with third parties outside the scope of your request.
