This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect personal and non-identifiable information when you use our forum (the “Site”). By using the Site you consent to the practices described in this policy.
Data We Collect
Basic non-identifiable information about your account is collected; the majority of this information is provided during registration, such as email addresses and usernames. We also collect technical information necessary to operate the Site and secure the service, including device and browser information.
In addition, IP addresses for registered users are stored within the system to aid with moderation duties, including spam prevention and detecting alternative accounts.
How We Use Your Data
- To provide and maintain the Site, including account registration and authentication.
- To moderate content, enforce community rules, and investigate abuse or violations.
- To detect and prevent fraud, spam, and other malicious activity.
- To send account-related communications, security notices, and administrative messages.
- For aggregated and anonymized analytics to improve the Site.
Account Deletion
Accounts can be deleted by a site administrator upon request. Deletion will remove personal data and account-related content from our system in accordance with our retention practices and applicable law. Some content may persist in cached or archived copies for a reasonable period or where required by law.
Cookies
Cookies are used to store small pieces of non-identifiable information with your consent. To consent to the use of cookies you must either close the cookie notice (as explained in the notice) or register on our Site.
Data stored by cookies may include recently viewed topic IDs and a unique, unidentifiable hash when you select “Remember Me” to allow automatic login on return visits.
You can control cookie settings through your browser or device settings, but disabling cookies may affect Site functionality and your user experience.
Third Parties and External Services
We may use third-party service providers to host the Site, send email, analyze usage, and provide other services. These providers have access to the data needed to perform their functions and are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it only for the purposes we specify.
Data Retention
We retain personal data for as long as necessary to provide the Site, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. When data is no longer required, we securely delete or anonymize it in accordance with applicable law.
Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. No system is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.
International Transfers
Your data may be stored or processed in countries other than your own. When transferring data internationally we rely on appropriate safeguards permitted by applicable law.
