Privacy Policy

1. What we collect

Registration data: login name, email address and a hashed password (we never store passwords in plain text).

Usage data: login sessions (a session cookie), moderation and security logs, and technical information such as your IP address needed to protect the service against abuse.

Content you voluntarily publish: forum posts, blog entries, comments, avatars and profile information.

2. How we use it

To operate the website, authenticate you, deliver notifications, prevent spam and abuse, and provide support. We do not sell your personal data and do not use it for third-party advertising.

3. Third parties

We use third-party services strictly where they are needed to run the forum: email delivery for registration and password reset messages, Google sign-in for accounts that choose it, and a cryptocurrency payment provider for optional purchases. These services receive only the data required to perform their function.

4. Cookies

We use a single essential cookie to keep you signed in, plus local storage for interface preferences such as theme and language. No tracking or advertising cookies are used.

5. Data retention

Content stays on the forum until you or a moderator removes it. On account deletion, personal profile data is removed and the account is marked as deleted; moderation logs may be retained where required for the safety of the service.

6. Your rights

You may request a copy of your personal data or ask us to correct or delete it by contacting the administration. You may also delete your own account yourself from your profile settings.

7. Contact

For any privacy questions, contact the site administration via the feedback channels listed on the forum.
