Information We Collect
HabitatBuilder is designed to be privacy-friendly. We collect minimal information:
- Build Data: Your habitat configurations are stored locally in your browser. We don't send this data to our servers unless you explicitly share a build via URL.
- Analytics: We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. This includes anonymous data like page views, time on site, and general location (country/city level).
- No Personal Accounts: We don't require registration or collect email addresses, names, or payment information.
How We Use Your Information

- To understand which features are most useful
- To fix bugs and technical issues
- We do NOT sell your data to third parties
- We do NOT use your data for advertising purposes
Cookies and Tracking
We use cookies for:
- Analytics: Google Analytics cookies to track site usage (you can opt out via Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on)
- Local Storage: Your saved builds are stored in your browser's local storage, not on our servers
- No Third-Party Advertising: We don't use advertising cookies or tracking pixels
Affiliate Links
HabitatBuilder uses Amazon affiliate links. When you click on a product link and make a purchase, we earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This helps us keep the site free.
Amazon may use cookies to track that you came from our site. This is standard affiliate marketing practice and is covered by Amazon's privacy policy.
