Percy Jackson Cabin Website

Last Updated: April 5, 2025

Welcome to the Percy Jackson Cabin Website (https://percyjacksoncabin.com), an unofficial fan site dedicated to the world of Percy Jackson and personality quizzes. This Privacy Policy explains how we (PercyJacksonCabin.com, "we," "us," or "our") collect, use, share, and protect information about users ("you") of our website and services.

By using our website, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect several types of information for various purposes to provide and improve our service to you:

Account Information

When you register for an account, we utilize Clerk (https://clerk.com/legal/privacy) as our authentication provider. Through Clerk, we may collect information such as your email address, username, and potentially other details you provide during sign-up or link to your account. Clerk manages your password securely.

Quiz Data

  • The answers you submit to our quizzes.
  • The calculated results of quizzes you take (e.g., your assigned Cabin, spirit animal, etc.).
  • If you are logged in, we may associate your quiz results with your user account (stored in your user metadata, managed via Clerk) to display them on your profile or contribute to aggregated statistics.
  • We may temporarily store data related to anonymous quiz attempts for operational purposes, but this data is generally not persistently linked to identifiable users unless you choose to save it while logged in.

User Profile Information

If you choose to add further information to your user profile (e.g., biography, avatar – beyond what Clerk provides), we will collect that information.

User-Generated Content (UGC)

If we implement features allowing you to create quizzes or submit other content, we will collect the content you submit.

Aggregated Data

We collect and analyze anonymized, aggregated data, such as the overall distribution of users across different Cabins (cabin_stats). This data does not personally identify individual users.

Usage Data & Technical Information

We may automatically collect information about how you access and use the website. This may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, device information, pages visited, time spent on pages, referring URLs, and other diagnostic data.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for various purposes:

  • To provide, operate, and maintain our website.
  • To manage your account, including authentication via Clerk.
  • To administer and score quizzes and display your results.
  • To personalize your experience (e.g., showing your assigned Cabin).
  • To display anonymized, aggregated statistics about quiz results and user distribution.
  • To display User-Generated Content you submit.
  • To monitor website usage, analyze trends, and improve our services.
  • To ensure the security of our website and prevent fraud or abuse.
  • To communicate with you regarding your account or significant updates (we will obtain separate consent for promotional emails).
  • To comply with legal obligations.

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

Service Providers

We share information with third-party vendors and service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as:

  • Clerk: For user authentication and account management.
  • Vercel: For website hosting and analytics.
  • Upstash / Vercel KV: For storing aggregated statistical data.

These providers have access to your information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

Aggregated Data

We may share anonymized, aggregated data publicly (e.g., Cabin distribution statistics on the website).

User-Generated Content

Content you submit for public display (like a created quiz) may be visible to other users, potentially along with attribution like your username.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency).

Business Transfers

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your personal information may be transferred. We will provide notice before your personal information is transferred and becomes subject to a different Privacy Policy.

4. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. We rely on the security measures implemented by our service providers like Clerk and Vercel. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

5. Data Retention

We will retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, such as maintaining your account and providing services. We will retain and use your information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our policies. Aggregated, anonymized data may be retained for longer periods for statistical analysis. You can typically delete your account through Clerk's interfaces or by contacting us, which should remove associated personal data subject to our retention policies and legal obligations.

6. Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on your location (e.g., EEA, California), you may have certain rights regarding your personal information:

  • The right to access, update, or delete the information we have on you.
  • The right of rectification (correcting inaccurate information).
  • The right to data portability (requesting a copy of your data).

To exercise these rights, please manage your account settings at Profile Page (https://percyjacksoncabin.com/profile) or contact us at contact@percyjacksoncabin.com.

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our website and hold certain information. Cookies are files with a small amount of data which may include an anonymous unique identifier.

Essential Cookies

Used for site operation, like session management via Clerk.

Analytics Cookies (if used)

To help us understand how our website is used.

Preference Cookies

To remember your preferences and various settings.

You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our service (especially login functionality).

8. International Data Transfers

Your information, including personal data, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ. Our servers, via Vercel and Clerk, are primarily located in US. If you are located outside this region and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data, including personal data, to there and process it there. Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.

9. Links to Other Sites

Our website may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
