Cookies & Similar Technologies
Cookies and similar technologies help remember your preferences and understand how the site is used. You can manage or disable cookies in your browser settings; some features may not function properly without them.
Your Rights & Choices
General. You can request that we access, update, or delete personal information you have provided by contacting us. We may ask for information to verify your request.
California Residents (CCPA/CPRA)
Subject to exceptions, you may request to know, access, correct, or delete your personal information and to limit certain uses of sensitive personal information. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. To submit a request, email contact@vanguardvalues.gg with the subject “CCPA Request”.

You may have rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to processing, and to data portability.

You can also lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary to operate the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and maintain security. Server logs are retained for a limited period before deletion or aggregation.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures (e.g., HTTPS, access controls) to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
Children’s Privacy
The Services are intended for users aged 13+. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under the age of digital consent in your country). If you believe a child provided information, contact us and we will delete it.
International Transfers
Your information may be processed in the United States and other countries where our service providers operate, which may have different data-protection laws.
Third-Party Links & Communities
Our site may link to third-party services (e.g., Discord). Their privacy practices apply to their services. Content you post publicly in community spaces may be visible to others—avoid sharing sensitive information there.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. We will revise the “Last updated” date above and, if changes are material, we will provide a prominent notice on the site.
