Privacy Policy

Last updated: 5 August 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Wootabase (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses and protects information when you visit wootabase.com (the “Site”). Wootabase is a community-run, unofficial database for sharing Wooting keyboard profiles and is not affiliated with Wooting. We are based in the United Kingdom and act as the data controller for personal data processed through the Site.

1. Information we collect

Information you provide

• Account details — if you register, your username, email address and a hashed password. If you sign in with Discord, we receive your Discord username and account identifier via Discord’s OAuth service.
• Content you submit — the profiles, descriptions, comments, likes and other content you choose to upload or post.
• Communications — any information you send us when you contact us.

Information collected automatically

• Usage & device data — IP address, browser type, pages viewed, referring pages and similar diagnostic data.
• Cookies and similar technologies — see our Cookie Policy for the full list.

2. How we use your information

• To operate, maintain and secure the Site and your account.
• To display the profiles and content you and other users submit.
• To understand how the Site is used and to improve it (analytics).
• To show advertising that helps fund the Site (see section 4).
• To prevent abuse, spam and fraudulent activity.
• To comply with our legal obligations.

3. Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences (such as theme and keyboard layout), record your cookie choices, measure traffic and serve advertising. You can control cookies through the consent banner shown on your first visit, via the “Cookie settings” link in the footer, and through your browser settings. Full details are in our Cookie Policy.

4. Advertising and Google AdSense

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this Site or other websites.
• Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• You can also opt out of a third party’s use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting aboutads.info or, in the EU/UK, youronlinechoices.eu.
• Our Google AdSense publisher ID is ca-pub-6339493962626579. For more information about how Google uses data, see Google’s “How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services”.

For visitors in the UK and European Economic Area, non-essential advertising and analytics cookies are only set after you consent, using Google Consent Mode.

5. Analytics

We use Google Analytics (measurement ID G-4PBXEVJD9K) to understand how visitors use the Site. Google Analytics sets cookies to collect usage data in aggregate. See Google’s Privacy Policy and, to opt out site-wide, the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

6. Who we share information with

We do not sell your personal data. We share limited data with service providers who help us run the Site, including:

• Google — advertising (AdSense) and analytics.
• Cloudflare — the Turnstile CAPTCHA used to prevent spam and abuse.
• Discord — only if you choose to sign in with Discord.
• Our hosting and infrastructure providers, who process data on our behalf.

We may also disclose information where required by law or to protect our rights and the safety of our users.

7. Legal bases for processing (UK GDPR)

• Contract — to provide your account and the Site’s features.
• Consent — for non-essential cookies, analytics and personalised advertising. You may withdraw consent at any time.
• Legitimate interests — to secure the Site, prevent abuse and improve our service.
• Legal obligation — where we must process data to comply with the law.

8. Data retention

We keep account data for as long as your account is active. Content you post may remain on the Site after your account is closed unless you ask us to remove it. Diagnostic and analytics data is retained only as long as needed for the purposes described above.

9. Your rights

Under UK GDPR and applicable law, you have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict processing of your personal data, to object to processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at contact@wootabase.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

10. International transfers

Some of our service providers (such as Google and Cloudflare) may process data outside the UK/EEA. Where they do, they rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.

11. Children’s privacy

The Site is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can remove it.

12. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including hashed passwords and HTTPS. No method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
