Information we keep
genshindb.com does not keep an account for you unless you sign in. If you sign in with Google, Discord, Twitch or Steam, we store that service's account ID, the display name and the email address it sends (Steam sends no email), so we can contact you about your account, and a sign-in cookie keeps you signed in for 93 days. Favorites, builds, ratings, comments, corrections, screenshots, uploaded images, progress and any game UID you link are stored with your account. Without an account, drafts stay in your browser's local storage.
Analytics
Google Analytics and PostHog load on public pages. They record the pages you open, your browser and device and an approximate location derived from your address, and set their own cookies to recognise a returning browser. Those services keep this data under their own retention settings.
Assistant apps
When you use this site's app in ChatGPT or another assistant, the assistant sends this site the tool it calls and that tool's inputs: a search phrase, an entry kind and slug, a language and a result position. The site uses them only to answer that request and does not store them. The request carries no account, so the site cannot tie it to you.
Server logs and retention
Every request, an assistant app's included, is recorded in the web server's access log: the sending address, the time, the requested path, the response status and size, the referring page and the client name. Access logs are deleted after 15 days.
Your account and everything stored with it stay until you delete them.
Your choices
You can delete your account on your account page, which removes everything stored with it. To learn what the site holds about your account, write to the address below.
