Privacy Policy

Last updated: 13 November 2026. This is a working draft - have it reviewed before you rely on it.

What we collect

• Account data: email address, nickname and a password hash (we never store your password itself).
• Profile data you add: avatar, banner and the short "About" text. These are visible to other members.
• Chat messages: shown to members; only the latest 15 messages are kept.
• Security data: IP address and browser information of your sessions, and the time of your last activity.
• Licence data: an identifier of your account and a hashed device identifier, used only to bind a subscription to your device.

How we use it

To run your account, confirm changes by email, protect the Service against abuse, moderate the community and provide the software you have a subscription for. We do not sell your data and we do not show ads.

Email

We send emails only when you ask for them (verification and password reset codes).

Cookies

The site uses a single strictly necessary cookie that keeps you signed in. There are no advertising or tracking cookies.

Third parties

• Cloudflare delivers and protects the site, so your requests pass through it. We also use Cloudflare Web Analytics, a privacy-friendly page-view counter that sets no cookies and does not track you across sites.
• Google Fonts serves the typeface; your browser requests it from Google.
• Our email provider delivers the messages you request.
• YouTube (youtube-nocookie.com) is contacted only when you press Play on an embedded video in a forum message.

Retention and your rights

We keep account data while the account exists. You can change your nickname, email, password and profile in your panel, and you can ask us to delete your account and data via the Contacts page.

Changes

If this policy changes we will update the date above.
