Search stays in your browser. Checklist choices use local storage on this browser; no account connection is required. YouTube embeds load after a click and may then process viewing data. Watched marks are personal checkboxes, not verified playback history. Cloudflare Web Analytics measures page views, visits, referrers, device categories and performance on the production domain. Its current automatic setup excludes EU visitors. It does not collect your local checklist or notebook contents. Hosting providers may process ordinary request logs. The support guides and troubleshooting tool also count preset actions and optional feedback, without sending report text. Details and browser opt-out.
For gameplay defects, use the developer's bug-reporting instructions ↗. Source review is manual; this site does not promise automatic patch coverage. Guide checklists and team responsibilities are editorial planning suggestions, not tested optimal strategies. Video-library titles and creators were checked with YouTube metadata. The four linked roster frames in the unlock navigator were visually reviewed; other spoken advice has not been independently reviewed.
