Privacy policy

Last updated October 17, 2026.

This privacy policy explains what information the Over the Hill database (“we”, “us”, this site) collects when you visit, and how it's used. We've kept it short and plain because we collect very little.

What we collect

  • Tool preferences and progress. Our unlock checklist, livery tracker, Steam Deck picker, triangulation tool and troubleshooting helper save your choices in first-party cookies for up to one year from your last change. These include manual collection marks, vehicle distances, filters and map observations. We read them to show your saved state when a page loads. They are not connected to Steam and do not change your game. Use “Reset this tool” or clear site cookies to remove your saved choices. If cookies are blocked, the tools still work for the current visit but cannot retain changes.
  • Expedition progress. Trail completions, collected crates, visited landmarks and photographed species are saved in this browser’s local storage until you clear them or your browser removes site data. These manual marks are shared between the map and wildlife checklist and are not sent to Steam. Uncheck a mark, use the page’s clear controls, or clear this site’s browser storage to remove them. Upgrade-advisor inputs are stored in the page URL and are included when you share that URL.
  • Analytics. We use Fathom, a cookieless analytics service, to understand page popularity and aggregate use of search and tools. Google Analytics loads only if you choose “Allow analytics.” You can decline or change your choice using “Analytics preferences” in the footer. Withdrawal stops Google Analytics and reloads the page; previously stored cookies may remain until they expire or you delete them in your browser. Our custom events never include search text, feedback messages, or email addresses. Analytics providers can receive page URLs, referral information and browser details, so avoid putting personal information in URLs.
  • The contact form. If you use our contact page, we receive the message you write and, if you provide it, your email address (only so we can reply). Submissions are routed to our private team workspace and used solely to read and respond to your feedback. Providing an email is optional.
  • Technical context. When you submit the contact form, your browser also sends standard technical details (page URL, browser/user-agent, language, timezone, screen size, and IP address) that help us reproduce bugs and prevent spam.

Advertising

What we don't do

We don't sell your personal information, and we don't require an account to use the site. We don't use the contact form's email address for marketing.

Your choices

Advertising partners have controls described above. You can browse the entire database without submitting any personal information. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies and limit ad tracking through their settings.
