Privacy / plain-language draft

Privacy Policy

LanternQueue helps PC co-op players explore game ideas and build a shortlist for a future session. This draft explains what information this site processes, why it is used, and what choices are available. It is prepared for publication, but the site owner must add the missing publisher and contact details before this policy is published.

Publisher details to complete: the operator's legal or trading name and a direct contact route have not been supplied. No email address, postal address, phone number, registration detail, data protection contact, or governing-jurisdiction detail should be inferred from this draft.

Information used and why

When you open a LanternQueue page, the browser necessarily makes a technical request for the page and its resources. That request can include ordinary connection data handled by the relevant hosting and delivery systems, such as an IP address, browser and device information, requested URL, and timing information. LanternQueue uses this information to deliver the page, maintain security, and understand technical delivery where the responsible service makes such records available. This site does not state that it collects a separate account profile, game-night identity, or personal player record unless a future feature and its notice say so.

The cookie-consent script stores your choice locally in the browser under the key lanternqueue-cookie-consent. The value records whether you selected optional cookies on or off, so the banner can remember your preference. It is not presented as a game profile and does not by itself identify you to LanternQueue.

Page and connection data
Used to send the requested site content, support basic operation, and help address security or technical faults.
Saved consent preference
Used to remember whether optional cookies were accepted or rejected in this browser.
Optional measurement or tracking data
The home page states that optional tracking remains off until consent is given. This policy does not claim that any particular analytics or advertising service is active. Any future optional service must be identified before or when it is enabled.

Cookie choice and web fonts

LanternQueue offers a choice about optional cookies. Selecting “Keep optional cookies off” keeps the optional setting off; selecting “Allow optional cookies” records that acceptance. The choice is saved in local browser storage, and you can revisit it through the site's cookie-settings control. Clearing browser storage may remove the saved preference and cause the choice notice to appear again.

The typography used by the site depends on Google Fonts. The stylesheet is requested from fonts.googleapis.com, and font files are requested from fonts.gstatic.com. These resources deliver the selected web typography. They load with the page before a visitor makes a cookie choice, so the browser sends the provider a technical connection request and associated connection data. This necessary presentation request is not controlled by the optional cookie choice. This policy does not claim that the font request sets cookies, nor does it describe provider retention or transfer practices that have not been supplied.

LanternQueue does not use the font dependency as a claim that optional analytics are running. Visitors who do not want the browser to make that request can use browser settings or other tools that block external resources, although the site's typography or appearance may change.

Retention, sharing, and your choices

The saved consent preference remains in local browser storage until it is cleared, replaced by a new choice, or removed by the browser. No more specific retention period has been supplied for technical connection records, so the site owner must document the applicable hosting or delivery-provider retention period before publication rather than invent one here.

Technical information may be handled by providers involved in hosting, delivering, securing, or displaying the site, including the Google Fonts services described above. The available facts do not establish additional recipients, international transfer arrangements, or provider retention periods. The site owner must complete those details where applicable before publication.

You can refuse optional cookies, change or clear the saved browser preference, block external font resources, and use browser privacy controls. Depending on the law that applies to you, you may also have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or a copy of personal information, and to withdraw consent where processing relies on consent. These rights are subject to applicable conditions and do not remove rights that cannot lawfully be waived.

To exercise a privacy right, a person needs a direct publisher contact route. None was supplied for LanternQueue, so the owner must add a verified email address or other direct contact method before publication. Do not send sensitive information through an unverified route.

Contact and changes

This policy may be updated when the site's processing, services, or legal requirements change. The owner should publish the revised text on this page and clearly indicate what has changed where that is useful. No effective date has been supplied, so one must be added by the site owner before publication.

Contact route to be completed before publication: insert the verified direct contact details for the LanternQueue site owner here. No operator identity or contact address was provided in the supplied information, and this draft does not invent one.

This is a generated informational draft, not a claim that the site complies with every privacy law. The site owner should review the actual hosting, font, cookie, analytics, and security arrangements and obtain appropriate legal advice before publishing.
