1. Overview & Data Minimization
At RDR2 Mods, we believe community modding platforms should respect user privacy. We operate under a strict data minimization philosophy: we do not sell your data, track you across third-party websites, or display invasive targeted behavioral advertising.
You can browse, filter, search, and download public modifications without creating an account or supplying personally identifiable information.
2. Information We Collect
We only collect data that is strictly necessary for operating and securing the platform:
Mod Submissions
When submitting a mod, we collect the title, author handle, GitHub repository URL, tags, and mod metadata you voluntarily submit.
Support Messages
When using our contact form, we store your provided contact email and message content solely to respond to your request.
3. Local Storage & Browser State
Instead of tracking cookies, we utilize modern browser localStorage to remember your local preferences client-side:
- Dark/Light Theme State: Stores your chosen appearance mode.
- Saved Favorites: Keeps track of mod IDs marked as favorited on your device.
This data remains entirely on your personal device and is never transmitted to our servers or third parties.
4. Server Logs & Technical Performance
Standard web server infrastructure temporarily logs technical connection metadata (IP address, user-agent string, page endpoint requested, HTTP response code). These logs are retained briefly for network security analysis, DDoS mitigation, and error debugging.
5. Third-Party Links & External Hosting
Mods hosted on our catalog may link to external project repositories (such as GitHub, Nexus Mods, or Discord). Clicking external links transfers your session to third-party domains, which operate under their own independent privacy policies. We encourage you to review third-party terms when leaving our site.
6. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to request access, correction, or deletion of mod submission metadata or support correspondence.
7. Contact & Data Inquiries
If you wish to submit a data inquiry or request the removal of your mod submission, please reach out to our team via our contact portal.
