This Privacy Policy explains how ShiftAtMidnightDB (the “Site”) handles information when you visitShiftAtMidnightDB. The Site is operated from China by WanZiLuStudio (丸子录工作室). References to “we”, “us” or “our” mean the operator of the Site. This policy was last updated on August 3, 2026.

2. Information Processed and Purposes

When you visit the Site, we and our service providers may automatically process certain information, including:

• your IP address and approximate location derived from it;
• your browser, device, and operating system information;
• pages you view, referring/exit pages, and timestamps;
• diagnostic and interaction data.

We use this information to deliver, protect, and troubleshoot the Site, understand how visitors use it, and improve content and performance.

The Site does not operate accounts, purchases, comments, subscriptions, or a contact form. Site search uses URL query parameters; please do not enter personal information in search queries or URLs.

3. Current Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to operate and understand the Site:

• Cloudflare — for hosting, content delivery, and security. See theCloudflare Privacy Policy.
• Google Analytics 4 — for traffic statistics. GA4 currently loads on Site pages. The Site has not implemented Google Consent Mode or a consent management platform that blocks GA4 before consent. See the Google Privacy Policy.
• Microsoft Clarity — for website usage analysis, heatmaps, and session analysis. Clarity currently loads on Site pages and is sent a signal intended to restrict analytics and advertising storage; even in that state, Clarity may process limited cookieless pageview and interaction data. See theMicrosoft Privacy Statement.

The Site links to Steam pages and may load resources hosted by Steam, which can send requests to Steam. This policy does not cover information collected by Steam. Please review theSteam Privacy Policy.

4. Cookies, Current Consent State, and Choices

The Site and the services listed above may use cookies, identifiers, and similar technologies. We do not currently provide an on-site consent banner, rejection button, or consent management platform. You can manage cookies and site data through your browser settings.

The Site stores your language selection or dismissal of the language suggestion in your browser's local storage under samdb-locale-choice. This functional setting is used only to remember your choice and avoid showing the same suggestion repeatedly. You can remove it through your browser's site-data settings.

5. Retention, International Processing, Security, Children, Contact, and Changes

We keep information only as long as necessary for the purposes described, subject to each provider's own retention policies. Information may be processed on servers located outside your country, including in the United States, by Cloudflare, Google, and Microsoft. We rely on reasonable organizational and technical measures to protect data, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
