Privacy
How Realm First! handles website requests, correspondence and optional services, and how to exercise your privacy rights.
Last updated: October 7, 2026.
Who is responsible
Realm First! is run by Max in Vienna, Austria. For privacy requests, contact privacy@realmfirst.net. Publisher and editorial information is available on our About page.
Reading and searching the website
Realm First! is hosted by Spaceship, Inc. Requests to read a page, image or RSS feed necessarily include connection data, including your IP address. Hosting logs may record request times, requested paths and browser information to deliver the website, investigate faults and prevent abuse. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in operating a secure publication under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Technical records are retained as needed for delivery, security and investigating a specific incident.
Spaceship processes hosting data on our behalf. Its privacy policyand data-processing terms describe its processing and safeguards for international transfers, including standard contractual clauses where applicable. Site search runs in your browser against downloaded search files; we do not send the text of your search to an external search provider. Fonts and editorial images are served from this website.
Contacting the desk
If you email us, we receive your address, message and any information you choose to include. We use these to answer your question, check a source or handle a correction or rights request. Our legal basis is the legitimate interest in dealing with correspondence; a legal obligation may also apply to a privacy or legal request. Correspondence is kept for handling the request and any necessary follow-up, dispute or statutory retention period. Please avoid sending unrelated personal data. A private tip is not automatically made public.
Analytics and browser storage
PostHog counts page views, reading milestones, source-link clicks and partner-link clicks, under our legitimate interest in knowing which guides are used (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Each page load gets a random identifier that exists only in memory and is discarded when you leave the page. No cookie or browser storage is used for this, and we do not send emails, account handles or comment text. PostHog receives your IP address as part of the request.
You can turn analytics off for this browser. That stores one setting in your browser so we can respect the choice; it does not undo processing that already took place.
Third-party links
Source links, video platforms and community links leave this site. Their processing is governed by their own notices and terms. We do not put third-party tracking pixels in an editorial image or source link.
Your rights
Depending on the applicable conditions, you may request access, correction, erasure, restriction or portability of your personal data. You may object to processing based on legitimate interests and withdraw consent at any time. Email privacy@realmfirst.net to make a request. You also have the right to complain to a data-protection authority, including the Austrian Data Protection Authority. This notice will be updated when the services or processing on this site change.
