This site uses third-party services that may collect limited technical data, including:

  • hCaptcha (bot and spam protection)
  • Embedded media services (e.g., YouTube, Vimeo, Spotify, Imgur, X/Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc.)

These third parties may set their own cookies and process data according to their respective privacy policies. We do not control these cookies or third-party data practices.

This site uses cookies and browser local storage to operate core forum features. Examples include:

  • Login sessions and authentication
  • Security tokens (CSRF protection)
  • Saving your theme, language, and display preferences

Some features, such as embedded media or spam protection, may set additional third-party cookies. For details, please see our Cookie Policy.

5. Data Retention

We retain user account data for as long as the account is active. If you request deletion of your account, we will remove or anonymize your profile information.

Content you submitted (such as posts, messages, or uploaded images) may remain visible for the continuity of forum discussions, but can be anonymized on request.

Server logs containing IP addresses are retained only for a limited time for security and operational purposes.

7. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and administrative measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, misuse, or disclosure. No online system is perfectly secure, but we make good-faith efforts to safeguard the data we store.

8. International Access and Jurisdiction

This forum is operated from outside California, the United States, and the European Union. By using this site, you consent to the processing and storage of your information in the locations in which our servers and administrators operate.

Nothing in this policy shall be interpreted as an acceptance of legal jurisdiction from any location outside our actual place of operation.

9. Children’s Privacy

This forum is not intended for individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.

10. Public Content and Search Engines

Content posted on this forum is generally public by default and may be indexed by search engines such as Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and others. This means that anything you post publicly may appear in search engine results and may remain cached or archived by third-party sites even after it is edited or removed from the forum.

We cannot control search engine indexing or remove content from external search engine caches. Please consider this before posting personal information or any content you do not wish to be publicly visible.

  • IP addresses
  • Device and browser information
  • Security-related data used to detect malicious activity
  • Traffic logs necessary for performance and threat mitigation

Cloudflare processes this information to provide its services and to protect our site from attacks. Cloudflare’s processing of data is governed by its own privacy policy and terms of service.

12. CAPTCHA/hCaptcha

This site is protected by hCaptcha and its privacy policy and terms of service apply.
