To be fairly honest, this is an intense formality and I don't have the money nor the legalese to talk about it, and that I'm probably ripping off The Cutting Room Floor on this. Despite that, I do know my bases for privacy and what I do with the data, so what I do I will share with you for ease of conscience.

  • Your data is precious and won't be sold to anyone. Not even for a massive amount of money.
  • Your IP address is logged in the system to track contributions and alla that stuff, but that's pretty much all that's logged when you visit this wiki.
  • If you 'do' register, though, we might collect other information like your username, email, or "real name".
    • The email is used only when there's need, for example, resetting your passwords or sending you a notification of that one thread you've been following for the past week. Not given to anybody.
    • Your username is used to identify you in the wiki, used for contributions and alla that stuff.
    • Your "real name". You can enter anything here, we don't really mind. You can also opt to avoid entering it. MediaWiki uses it to attribute to your work. It won't be sold either.

For analytics purposes, there's a script running in the background that is also present in other sites. It might log things like:

  • IP
  • Browser version and agent
  • What pages of this site you visit

All in all, this is just for internal counting and this data doesn't really go anywhere. Again, it won't be sold.

...That's all, for now.
