Pikabu Monster Privacy Policy: How Reader Data Is Handled

This policy explains which limited technical data may be processed when you read Pikabu Monster and how the site's browser-based tools handle your files.

How reader data is handled

Server logs and security

Hosting and security systems may record an IP address, browser and device information, requested URL, referrer, and timestamps. These records help deliver pages, prevent abuse, diagnose failures, and protect the service. Pikabu Monster does not sell this information.

Cookies and accounts

The public site does not require an account and does not contain advertising or advertising cookies. A strictly necessary security cookie may be used when an interactive form needs protection. If analytics or advertising are introduced later, this policy and any required consent controls will be updated before those services are enabled.

Images used in browser tools

The browser-based avatar preview tool processes a selected image inside your browser. The image is not uploaded to Pikabu Monster by that tool. Closing or refreshing the page removes the temporary browser preview.

External links

Source links in the documented profile collection and culture research guides lead to independent sites with their own privacy practices. Following one is your choice, and Pikabu Monster does not control how the destination handles data.

Questions and policy changes

Privacy questions can be sent to [email protected] with “Privacy” in the subject line. This policy will be updated when the site adds a new category of data processing. The effective date is November 3, 2026.
