We value privacy and transparency, and this Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information, what is (and isn’t) collected, and what happens if you decide to leave. By using our forum, you agree to this policy and should also review our Forum Guidelines to ensure you understand our community expectations.
1. Information We Collect
Unlike mainstream platforms, we do not collect and store large amounts of user data. However, to maintain the security and integrity of our community, we do collect some information, including:
- Basic account details such as username, email address, and registration information.
- Posts and content you create within the forum.
- Log data such as IP addresses and timestamps for security purposes.
- Verification data for those who are required to provide proof of identity when joining.
2. How We Use Your Information
We collect only the necessary information to:
- Maintain the integrity and security of the community.
- Moderate content and enforce our guidelines.
- Improve user experience and functionality.
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties. Your data stays within this community and is used solely for the purposes outlined above.
3. Data Storage & Limitations
We do not operate like traditional social media platforms. This means:
- We do not store unnecessary personal data.
- We do not have the capability to export your data if you decide to leave.
- We strongly recommend writing any long-form posts or important contributions in a separate word document before pasting them into the forum. This ensures you have a personal copy of your work.
4. Account Deletion & Leaving the Community
If you decide to leave the community, you must send us an email requesting account deletion. Upon request:
- Your profile and content will be permanently deleted from the forum.
- This action cannot be undone—once deleted, your posts and contributions are gone.
- We do not retain or store any of your data after removal.
5. Security & Privacy Measures
We take security seriously and implement reasonable measures to protect user information. However, no online platform is 100% secure. We encourage users to:
- Use a secure and private email when registering.
- Be mindful of the information they share publicly.
- Follow best security practices such as strong passwords and two-factor authentication (if available).
6. Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our community practices. If significant changes are made, we will notify members accordingly.
If you have any questions or concerns about this policy, please reach out to us.
