Privacy Policy

Last updated: 11 September 2026 · Effective for visitors in the EU/EEA, UK and California.

BDOWorthIt ("we", "us", "the site") is an independent fan guide for Black Desert Online. This policy explains what we collect and why. For cookie-specific detail, see the Cookie Policy.

1. What we collect

• Analytics data: anonymous usage statistics (pages viewed, approximate region, device type) via privacy-respecting analytics. No advertising fingerprints are built from this.
• Cookies & similar tech: see the Cookie Policy. Advertising cookies are only set after you consent.
• Contact & newsletter: the email address you voluntarily provide. We do not sell or rent it.
• Server logs: standard IP-address and request data retained briefly for security.

2. Advertising and Google AdSense

We serve advertising through Google AdSense. Google and its third-party partners are vendors on this site and use cookies — including the DoubleClick DART cookie — to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

• You can opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings.
• You can also opt out of many third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info/choices.
• Visitors in the EU/EEA and the UK are shown a consent message before advertising cookies are set; non-personalised ads are served where consent is refused.
• We do not sell your personal information. Third-party ad cookies are set and controlled by the vendors, not by us — see the Cookie Policy for the cookie list.

3. Legal bases (GDPR)

We process analytics and advertising under your consent (withdrawn anytime via the cookie banner or by clearing site data). We process contact/email under contract/legitimate interest to respond to you and send what you subscribed to.

4. Your rights

Depending on your region, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, port, or object to your data, and to withdraw consent. To exercise any right, email our privacy contact. EU/EEA users may also complain to their local supervisory authority.

5. Children

This site is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect their data.

6. Data retention

Analytics are aggregated and de-identified. Email addresses are kept until you unsubscribe. Server logs are purged on a short rolling schedule.

7. International transfers

Our processors (analytics, ad network, email provider) may process data outside your country under standard contractual safeguards.

8. Changes

We'll update this page and the "last updated" date if our practices change. Major changes will be noted on the site.
