Privacy Policy

At Nexustierlist, we take the protection of your personal data very seriously. This privacy policy informs you about how we collect, use, and protect your information in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable data protection laws.

1. Data Controller

The data controller for personal data is:

2. Data Collected

2.1. Locally Stored Data (IndexedDB / localStorage)

Data concerned:

  • Your saved tier lists (titles, images, organization)
  • Your uploaded custom images (max 50 MB per image, total limit: 10 GB)
  • Your language preferences (English/French)

Technology used: IndexedDB (with automatic fallback to localStorage if IndexedDB unavailable)

Purpose: Save your creations locally in your browser to retrieve them during future visits.

Legal basis: Legitimate interest (essential service functionality)

Retention period: Data retained until manual deletion by the user or browser cache/data clearing

Storage limit: 10 GB maximum for all your custom images. A storage indicator informs you in real-time of the space used.

Important: This data is stored only in your browser (IndexedDB primarily, localStorage as backup) and is never transmitted to our servers.

2.2. Feedback Form

Data concerned:

  • Name (optional)
  • Email address (optional)
  • Message type (Bug, Suggestion, Other)
  • Message content

Purpose: Process your support requests, improvement suggestions, and bug reports

2.3. Browsing Data (Google Analytics)

Data concerned:

  • IP address (anonymized)
  • Browser type and operating system
  • Pages visited and visit duration

ℹ️ Note: Google Analytics will only be activated after your explicit consent via the cookie banner. You can modify your preferences at any time.

2.4. Automatic Data Migration

When you first use the new version of the site using IndexedDB, your data previously stored in localStorage is automatically migrated to IndexedDB to benefit from better performance and increased storage capacity.

This migration occurs transparently when loading the site. Your old localStorage data is temporarily retained until successful migration confirmation, then automatically deleted.

Note: This migration only concerns data stored locally on your device and does not involve any transmission to our servers.

3. Cookies and Trackers

3.1. Strictly Necessary Local Storage (exempt from consent)

  • tarteaucitron: Cookie that remembers your cookie preferences (duration: 12 months)
  • i18nextLng: Cookie that remembers your language choice (duration: persistent)
  • IndexedDB (NexusTierlistDB): Local database that stores your tier lists, custom images and preferences. Capacity: up to 10 GB. This data remains on your device and is never transmitted to our servers.
  • localStorage (fallback): Used only if IndexedDB is not available in your browser. Stores the same information with lesser capacity (~5-10 MB depending on browser).

These storage mechanisms are strictly necessary for website operation and do not require prior consent in accordance with GDPR guidelines (considered as "strictly necessary trackers").

3.2. Analytics Cookies (require your consent)

  • Google Analytics (_ga, _gid, _gat): Audience measurement and visit statistics
  • Google Tag Manager: Tracking tag management

These cookies are only placed after your explicit consent via the cookie banner.
