Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to RAMEN SHIFT (japaneseramensimulator.wiki, referred to as "the Site", "we", or "us"). This website is an unofficial, community-operated fan wiki and strategy companion for Japanese Ramen Simulator. We respect your privacy and are committed to transparency regarding how information is handled when you browse and use our tools.

2. Information We Process & Store

Our tools and calculators are engineered to be lightweight, instant-access, and registration-free:

1. Local Browser Storage (LocalStorage) — To deliver a seamless experience, your web browser stores your custom broth formulas, kitchen station setups, and UI preferences locally on your device. This data remains on your machine and is never transmitted to our backend databases.
2. Language Preference Cookies — We use standard functional cookies to remember your chosen language (English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, or Japanese) across visits.
3. Anonymous Web Logs & Performance Metrics — When you load our pages, our edge network (e.g. Cloudflare) automatically logs basic operational metrics (such as obfuscated IP address, browser user-agent, timestamp, and asset latency) to safeguard against DDoS attacks, balance traffic loads, and improve global page speeds.

3. How We Use Information

The limited, non-personal diagnostic data we process is used exclusively to:

• Ensure server security, uptime, and high availability.
• Diagnose network latency and enhance mobile responsiveness.
• Identify popular strategy sections and optimize community guides accordingly.

4. Information Sharing & Disclosure

• No Sale of Data: We do not sell, rent, monetize, or trade any visitor information to third parties or marketing brokers.
• Infrastructure Providers: Data is processed only via industry-standard network service providers (such as global CDN and DDoS mitigation networks) strictly to deliver web traffic.
• Legal Compliance: We may disclose data only if explicitly mandated by applicable law or enforceable legal process.

5. Security Safeguards

All connections to the Site are enforced over encrypted HTTPS/TLS protocols. We utilize robust infrastructure safeguards to protect against unauthorized access, loss, or data alteration.

6. Your Choices & Controls

• You can clear your browser cookies and LocalStorage cache at any time through your browser settings.
• You can freely switch or disable language preferences whenever you wish.

7. Policy Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect new features or regulatory requirements. Any modifications will be posted here with an updated revision date.
