Privacy Policy

Who We Are and What This Policy Covers

This Privacy Policy applies to the independent informational website operated under mrskinmonkeys.com (the "Guide"). We are not affiliated with Skinsmonkey, Valve Corporation, Steam, or any government authority. This policy explains what personal data we collect when you visit this website, why we collect it, how we use it, and what rights you have over it. By using this website you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.

We take privacy seriously. We collect only the minimum data necessary to operate this informational guide and improve the quality of the content we provide. We do not sell your personal data to third parties, and we do not use your data to facilitate any commercial transaction in skins, currency, or any other asset.

Data We Collect and Why

When you visit mrskinmonkeys.com, our hosting infrastructure may automatically log your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and the time and date of your visit. This data is collected for security monitoring and aggregate analytics purposes. We do not use it to personally identify individual visitors in normal circumstances.

If you choose to contact us via the email address provided on this site (info@mrskinmonkeys.com), we will receive and store your email address and the contents of your message in order to respond to your inquiry. We retain contact emails for a maximum of 12 months unless a longer retention period is required by applicable law or for the resolution of a dispute.

If you consent to analytics cookies (see our Cookie Policy), we may use a third-party analytics service such as Google Analytics to collect aggregated data about how visitors interact with our pages. This data is used solely to improve the guide's content and user experience. You can withdraw consent at any time by returning to the cookie preference settings on this page.

Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

For visitors located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, our legal basis for processing server log data is our legitimate interest in maintaining site security and understanding aggregate usage. Our legal basis for processing contact form data is the performance of a pre-contractual relationship (responding to your inquiry). Our legal basis for analytics and marketing cookies is your explicit consent, which you may withdraw at any time.

You have the following rights under the GDPR and UK GDPR: the right to access your personal data, the right to rectification, the right to erasure ("right to be forgotten"), the right to restrict processing, the right to data portability, and the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests. To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@mrskinmonkeys.com with a clear description of your request. We will respond within 30 days.

Third Parties and Data Transfers

We may share anonymized, aggregate analytics data with third-party analytics providers as described above. We do not transfer personal data outside the EEA without appropriate safeguards in place (such as Standard Contractual Clauses). Our website may contain links to the official Skinsmonkey portal and Steam; once you leave our site, the privacy policy of the destination site governs your data. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any external site you visit.

We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling that has legal or similarly significant effects on you.

Contact and Complaints

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or wish to exercise your data rights, contact us at info@mrskinmonkeys.com. If you are located in the EEA and believe we have handled your data unlawfully, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority.
