Privacy Policy

Last updated: 6/1/2026

Who we are

Sims 4 Update is an independent fan site that collects free mods and custom content for The Sims 4. This policy explains what personal data we process and why, in line with the GDPR.

Data we collect

When you log in with Patreon we receive your Patreon ID, display name, email and pledge tier. For security we process technical data such as your IP address and country, and we keep aggregate, non-identifying usage statistics.

How we use your data

We use it to authenticate you, to gate supporter-only downloads, to keep the platform secure (rate limiting and abuse prevention), and to understand overall usage. We never sell your personal data.

Legal basis

We rely on the performance of our service (authentication), our legitimate interest in keeping the platform secure, and your consent for analytics and advertising cookies.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you may access, correct, export or delete your data and withdraw consent at any time.

Retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes above, then delete or anonymize it.
