What Info Do We Grab?

When you sign up on our forum or dive into the action—reading, posting, or rating stuff—we collect some details:

  • Sign-Up: You’ll share your name and email address when you register. No registration? No problem—you can still browse anonymously.
  • Email Check: We send a unique link to your email to confirm it’s really yours. Click it, and we know you’re legit.
  • Posting: Every post logs the IP address it came from. Our server logs also track the IP of every request we get.

What’s the Deal with Your Data?

We use what you share to make things better around here. Here’s how:

  • Personal Touch: Your info helps us tailor the forum to fit your vibe.
  • Leveling Up: Feedback and data drive tweaks to keep the site running smoothly.
  • Support Squad: Your details let us tackle your questions or issues faster.
  • Email Updates: We might ping you with notifications about topic changes, replies to your posts, or other stuff you’ve asked for.

How Do We Keep Your Stuff Safe?

We’ve got your back with solid security measures to protect your info when you add, send, or check it. No sketchy business here—we’re all about keeping your data locked down.

How Long Do We Hold Onto Your Data?

We’re not hoarders. Our plan is to:

  • Keep server logs with IP addresses for no more than 90 days, unless we’re forced to hold them longer by law or tech needs.

Cookies—Yeah, We Use ‘Em

Cookies are tiny files your browser stores to help us out (if you’re cool with it). They let us:

  • Remember your settings for next time.
  • Track how folks use the site so we can make it better.
  • We might team up with trusted third parties to crunch these numbers, but they’re locked into using the data only to help us improve. No sharing for their own schemes.

Do We Share Your Info?

Nope, we don’t sell or trade your personal details. The only folks who might see your data are:

  • Trusted partners helping us run the forum (they’re sworn to secrecy).
  • Authorities, if we’re legally required to comply or to protect our community’s rights, property, or safety. We might share non-personal stats (like site traffic) for marketing or ads, but nothing that points back to you.

Third-Party Links

Sometimes we link to other sites or services. Those spots have their own rules, and we’re not responsible for what they do. Still, we care about our forum’s integrity, so hit us up if you spot anything weird with them.

Kids and COPPA

Our forum is for folks 13 and up. If you’re under 13 and we’re hosted in the USA, please don’t use the site—it’s part of staying compliant with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

Online Only

This policy covers what we collect through the forum, not anything offline.
