What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It
1. Account Registration & Community Participation
When you register an account or participate in our community forums (powered by FluentCommunity), we collect the personal information you provide, including your name, email address, username, profile picture, and any content, posts, or messages you publish. Community posts and public profile information are visible to other logged-in users and site visitors.
2. Payments & Voluntary Support
When you make a voluntary donation or payment on our site, payment processing is handled securely by Stripe. We do not collect or store full credit card numbers, CVVs, or sensitive banking details on our servers. Stripe collects payment details directly via an encrypted API connection. You can review Stripe’s Privacy Policy at https://stripe.com/privacy.
3. Communications & Email Marketing
If you opt-in to receive updates, join our community, or complete a support form, your contact information is stored in our internal marketing engine (FluentCRM). We use this data to send transactional notifications, account alerts, and product updates. You may unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time using the link in the email footer.
4. Comments & Media Uploads
When visitors leave comments or upload media, we collect the form data along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to aid in spam detection. If you upload images to public areas, you should avoid uploading files with embedded location data (EXIF GPS).
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
We use essential cookies to maintain user sessions, authenticate account logins, remember your preferences, and process secure payments. Optional performance or analytics cookies are only enabled if you grant consent via our cookie banner.
You can manage your cookie consent preferences at any time using the banner provided by CookieYes on our website.
Data Retention
For registered users, we retain the personal profile information provided for as long as the account remains active. Community discussions and public comments are retained indefinitely to preserve topic history. Payment transaction logs are retained as required by tax and legal accounting obligations.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account or have left comments/posts on this site, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You may also request that we delete any personal data we hold. This does not include data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data Is Processed
Your data is processed on secure hosting infrastructure (Rochen Host) located in the United States. Payment transactions are processed globally via Stripe’s encrypted API network.
