We care about your privacy, but we also need to collect some data to keep the site running smoothly and prevent abuse. Here's what we collect and why:
IP Address Collection
Download Analytics: We collect your IP address when you download scenepacks to ensure accurate download counts. Without IP tracking, someone could spam-click the download button 50 times and skew our analytics. By binding downloads to IP addresses, we can count each person once and keep our statistics reliable.
Rate Limiting: We collect your IP address when you submit feedback or scenepack requests to enforce our rate limits (maximum 3 submissions per hour). This prevents spam and abuse, ensuring our team can actually respond to legitimate requests without getting flooded.
Security & Abuse Prevention: IP addresses help us identify and block malicious activity, prevent DDoS attacks, and maintain a safe community for everyone.
Cookies & Local Storage
Authentication Cookies: When you log in, we store a secure authentication token in your browser's local storage to keep you logged in across pages.
User Preferences: We store your profile data, theme preferences, and settings locally in your browser to improve your experience.
Session Data: Temporary cookies help us remember your session and keep the site functional as you navigate between pages.
Analytics & Usage Data
We track basic usage statistics like page views, download counts, and popular scenepacks to understand what content our community loves. This helps us improve and create better packs for you.
We do not sell, share, or trade your data with third parties for advertising purposes. Your information stays with us.
Account Information
When you create an account, we collect your username, email address, and any profile information you choose to provide (profile picture, bio, social links). This information is used to personalize your experience and connect you with the community.
Your email address is kept private and will never be shared publicly or sold to third parties.
Data Retention
We retain your data as long as your account is active. If you want your account and data deleted, email us at [email protected].
IP address logs for downloads and rate limiting are retained for a limited time (typically 30-90 days) for analytics and security purposes, then automatically purged.
