Privacy Policy
This policy explains what Factorio Blueprints collects, how the site uses it, and what choices you have.
Information We Collect
When you browse the site, the service may receive standard request information such as IP address, request path, browser type, device information, referrer, timestamps, and error details. This information is used for security, diagnostics, abuse prevention, and operating the service.
When you upload a blueprint, the site collects the submitted title, author name or handle, description, tags or derived catalog details, and blueprint string. Uploaded blueprint content is meant to become public catalog content.
The site may record product events such as searches, impressions, detail opens, copy actions, and facet usage. These events help rank blueprints, improve recommendations, understand broken flows, and keep the catalog useful.
Google Analytics And Cookies
Factorio Blueprints may use Google Analytics when analytics is configured. Google Analytics can use cookies or similar identifiers to measure visits, pages viewed, device details, approximate location, and interactions with the site. Google may process analytics data according to its own terms and privacy controls.
The site may also use local browser storage or cookies for ordinary operation, analytics, abuse prevention, and remembering temporary browser state. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though some features may work less smoothly if storage is blocked.
How We Use Information
Information is used to operate the blueprint catalog, serve pages and previews, process uploads, improve search and recommendations, measure site performance, prevent spam or abuse, diagnose errors, protect security, and comply with legal obligations.
We do not sell personal information. We do not ask for sensitive personal information, payment data, government identifiers, or private Factorio account credentials.
Public Blueprint Content
Uploaded blueprint content, including an author name or handle if provided, may be shown publicly on catalog pages, search results, blueprint detail pages, feeds, sitemaps, and previews. Do not upload blueprint text, descriptions, names, or author details that you want to keep private.
Sharing And Service Providers
Information may be processed by infrastructure, hosting, logging, analytics, security, and maintenance providers that help run the site. Information may also be disclosed if needed to investigate abuse, protect the service, comply with law, or respond to lawful requests.
Retention
Public blueprint content may stay online while it remains useful to the catalog. Logs, analytics, and operational events are kept only as long as needed for security, diagnostics, analytics, abuse prevention, and service improvement, unless a longer period is required for legal or operational reasons.
Your Choices And Rights
You can avoid submitting blueprint uploads or author details. You can control cookies and analytics identifiers through browser settings and available Google controls. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or request a copy of personal information associated with you.
For deletion or privacy requests, include enough detail to identify the blueprint or data you are asking about. Requests involving public uploads may require proof that you are the uploader or otherwise authorized to make the request.
Children
Factorio Blueprints is a general audience site and is not intended to collect personal information from children. If you believe a child provided personal information, contact the operator so it can be reviewed.
Security
The site uses reasonable technical and operational measures to protect the service, but no website or network can guarantee perfect security. Avoid placing private information inside blueprint strings, titles, descriptions, or author fields.
Changes To This Policy
This policy may be updated as the site changes. The latest version will be posted on this page with an updated date.
Contact
For privacy questions, deletion requests, or concerns about uploaded content, contact the Factorio Blueprints operator through the contact method published for the project or the repository issue channel.
