Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 28, 2026
At ABI Builder (https://abibuilder.com and its official subdomains including merchant.abibuilder.com), we are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information across our platform and companion tools.
1. Information We Collect
Information You Provide to Us:We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you register on the website, express an interest in obtaining information about us or our products and services, or participate in activities on the website (such as creating a profile, submitting weapon builds, or writing guides). This may include your username, email address, and generated content.
Third-Party Integrations (OAuth):When you connect your Patreon account to our platform, we retrieve data via the Patreon API. This includes your Patreon ID, subscription status (patreon_status), and supporter tier (patreon_tier). This authentication process is also subject to Patreon's own privacy policies.
Automatically Collected Information:When you visit our website, certain technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device characteristics, and timestamps may be collected automatically for security, anti-abuse, and analytics purposes.
2. Client-Side Audio & Vision Processing in Companion Tools
When utilizing interactive companion tools (such as sound recognition and cargo tools hosted on merchant.abibuilder.com), all audio analysis, signal processing, and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) are executed strictly locally within your browser via client-side Web Audio API and WebAssembly.
🔒 We do NOT stream, record, transmit, or store any microphone audio, game sound feeds, or screen captures on our servers. Your local audio and video inputs never leave your device.
3. Cookies, Subdomain SSO & Advertising
We use essential cookies to maintain your login session across abibuilder.com and its official subdomains (such as merchant.abibuilder.com). These cookies use a shared domain scope (.abibuilder.com) strictly to enable Single Sign-On (SSO) so you do not need to log in repeatedly when accessing companion tools.
We also use mandatory security cookies (state cookies) to prevent CSRF attacks during the OAuth2 flow (e.g., when connecting your Patreon account). Since you manage your consent via our CMP (Admiral), you are in full control of non-essential cookies.
Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site. Google's use of advertising cookies (such as the DoubleClick DART cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
All or partial advertising on this Website or App is managed by Playwire LLC. If Playwire publisher advertising services are used, Playwire LLC may collect and use certain aggregated and anonymized data for advertising purposes. To learn more about the types of data collected, how data is used and your choices as a user, please visit https://www.playwire.com/privacy-policy.
Tip:Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings.
Alternatively, users can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
4. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to operate and maintain ABI Builder, manage user accounts, verify Patreon supporter permissions, display community-generated content, improve the user experience, and comply with legal obligations.
5. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may share information with trusted third-party vendors (e.g., database hosting services, analytics, and advertising partners like Google) who assist us in operating our website and community features.
