Analytics
The site uses Google Analytics to understand pageviews and core interaction signals such as tool use, newsletter starts, watchlist saves, and external link clicks.

What The Patch stores, tracks, and sends to third parties.
The Patch is a static site. It does not currently run user accounts or a private member database, but it does use analytics, newsletter handoff links, and local browser storage so the tools can remember things like watchlists, recent pet pages, and saved benchmark inventory lines.
Local browser storage
Watchlists, saved benchmark inventories, and recently viewed benchmark pets are stored in your own browser so those features can persist between visits without an account system.
Newsletter handoff
Newsletter signup forms open a Substack subscribe page. If you use that flow, your email address and any later subscription activity are handled by Substack under its own terms.
What The Patch does not currently collect directly
The site does not currently provide direct account registration, private logins, password storage, or cloud-synced inventories. Saved tool data stays in local browser storage unless and until a future product version changes that model.
Children and families
The Patch covers a Roblox game with a young audience, so the goal is to keep data collection light, explain third-party services clearly, and avoid turning site controls into disguised ads or dark patterns. Parents who want a non-technical overview can also use the parent guide.
Open parent guideHow to reset local data
If you want to clear saved watchlists, saved inventory lines, or recent pet views, you can use your browser storage controls. The site does not currently provide a cross-device account to delete because the data is not being synced server-side.
Future changes
If The Patch later adds accounts, cloud sync, comments, or ad network tooling that changes what user data is processed, this page should be updated before or alongside that rollout.
