Who operates this site
Habonis operates habonis.com, an independent site for Albion Online guides. To contact Habonis about your information, use the private contact route on our contact page.
Information we use
If you choose to sign in with Google, habonis.com requests only the basic profile scope needed to identify your account. We receive a stable Google account identifier and your display name. We do not request or store your Google email address, password, Google Drive files, Gmail, contacts or other Google account content.
We store the builds you save, build requests you send, their status, and the request details you provide. If you choose to enter a YouTube @handle for Premium matching, we use the YouTube Data API to resolve that public handle to the corresponding public channel ID and channel name, and store those identifiers with your habonis.com account. Entering a handle does not give this site access to your YouTube account. You may also optionally store your Discord @username so Habonis can manually assign a habonis.com user role in The Habo Hub; this does not connect the site to your Discord account or grant Discord permissions.
For Premium verification, Habonis may upload the current channel-members export from YouTube Studio. The site stores the member channel ID, displayed member name, membership level, membership duration information and verification date needed to match active membership. The raw CSV is not stored by habonis.com. Do not include passwords, payment information or sensitive personal information in requests.
Analytics
habonis.com uses Google Analytics 4 with Advanced Consent Mode to understand visits, traffic sources, popular pages and general site usage. The Google tag loads on each visit. Until you allow Analytics, analytics storage is denied, so Analytics cookies are not read or written; Google may still receive limited cookieless measurement signals that can be used for aggregate measurement and modeling. If you allow Analytics, normal Analytics measurement and cookies can be used. Advertising storage, ad user data and ad personalization remain denied. You can change your Analytics choice at any time through Cookie settings in the footer.
How Google sign-in data is used
Google sign-in data is used only to create and authenticate your habonis.com account and connect your saved builds and requests to that account. The temporary Google access token used during sign-in is not stored. We do not sell Google user data or use Google sign-in data for advertising profiles or unrelated purposes.
Why we use it
We use account information to provide the account features you request, saved builds and build requests. Optional YouTube identifiers and membership information are used only to match Premium access and related benefits such as request priority. An optional Discord username is used only for community identification and manual role assignment. We use security information to prevent abuse and maintain the service. Optional browser preferences are used only with your permission. Google Analytics consent controls whether Analytics cookies and full measurement are enabled. We do not sell your personal information.
Service providers and external content
The site uses Cloudflare infrastructure for hosting, database storage and security, Google for optional account sign-in and Google Analytics 4 for audience measurement under Consent Mode. Albion item and spell images load from render.albiononline.com. The site uses YouTube API Services, specifically YouTube Data API v3, for public Habonis video metadata and, when a user submits a YouTube handle, to resolve public channel information for Premium matching. Public video metadata is refreshed regularly. Google's handling of information is described in the Google Privacy Policy. Video thumbnails load from YouTube's image service. Market prices come from the community Albion Online Data Project.
YouTube videos use a click-to-load privacy-enhanced YouTube player. The YouTube iframe is not loaded until you press Play. After you choose to load or interact with the player, YouTube may process technical information and use cookies or similar storage under its own policies. Premium membership purchases, renewals and cancellations remain on YouTube. habonis.com does not process membership payments. We do not currently use advertising pixels.
Storage and retention
We retain your habonis.com account record and saved builds while your site account is used. Build requests are retained to manage the request queue and its history. Optional YouTube matching information is retained while needed for Premium verification or until your site records are deleted. An optional Discord username is retained with your account until it is changed or your site records are deleted. Authentication sessions expire and can also be ended by signing out. You can ask us to delete your site records. Provider backups and security logs follow the provider's retention arrangements. Browser preferences and analytics cookies are explained in our cookie policy.
Your choices and rights
You can remove saved builds from your account and change optional browser storage and Analytics choices using Cookie settings in the footer. Adding a YouTube handle is optional and only needed for Premium matching. Adding a Discord username is optional and only needed if you want Habonis to identify your Discord account for the website user role. You may request access, correction, an export or deletion of your site information, withdraw consent, or object to applicable processing by contacting Habonis privately. We may need to verify that the account is yours. Depending on your location, you may also complain to your local data protection authority. Deleting site records does not delete your Google, YouTube or Discord account.
Changes
We update this notice when the site changes. Material changes to optional storage or analytics will require a new choice before optional cookie-based processing is used.
