Privacy at RangerWeb

Member information

Members may voluntarily provide a username, securely hashed authentication credentials, optional profile information, posts and comments, private membership-application messages, and private suggestions and replies. Passwords are never stored in plaintext.

Anonymous suggestions use a private ownership mechanism so their submitting identity is not revealed to administrators through RangerWeb.

Limited first-party information

RangerWeb may collect limited technical information needed to operate the website, maintain security and reliability, maintain an aggregate site visit count, and diagnose visit-counting or technical problems.

Temporary first-party visit diagnostics may include a one-way visit identifier, timestamps, the requested page path, request count, and browser-type information from the user agent.

Retention and access

Detailed visit diagnostics are private administrative records retained for approximately 60 days. They are never publicly accessible. The lifetime aggregate visit count may be retained indefinitely.

No third-party analytics or advertising

RangerWeb does not use Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta/Facebook Pixel, advertising pixels, third-party session replay, cross-site tracking, or external visitor-profiling services. RangerWeb does not sell visit data and never uses it for advertising.
