This policy applies to the royaleprogress.com website and its related pages. It explains how Royale Progress handles data, cookies, and advertising-related notices.

1. Data Controller

Royale Progress is an independent, fan-made web application offering collection analysis, match history, and meta deck discovery for Clash Royale players. The service is provided entirely free of charge — no registration, subscription, or payment is required. Data processed on this site is controlled by the application owner.

2. Information We Collect

Royale Progress does not collect passwords, emails, phone numbers, or identity information. The data types we use are:

Player tag: The Clash Royale player tag you ask us to display. It is a publicly accessible identifier on Supercell's official API and does not constitute personal data.
In-game data: Public game data such as trophies, card levels, match history, clan information. Pulled only from the Clash Royale API and cached short-term for display purposes.
Technical information: IP address (kept briefly in memory for rate limiting and abuse prevention), browser language, device type, and standard HTTP headers.
Local storage: Items such as your last searched tag, language preference, and cookie consent record stay only in your browser and are never transmitted to our server.

3. Purpose of Use and Legal Basis

We process information for the following purposes:
