Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you create an account.

1. Data We Collect

When you create an account, we may store the following information in our database:

The username is used as a nickname displayed on your profile page. It does not need to be your real name.

Email Address

Your email address is used only for user authentication and account access, including login and essential account-related communication such as password resets or security notifications.

Your email address is not used for marketing purposes.

Password

Your password is stored in a secure, encrypted (hashed) form. It is never visible to us or to other users and is used only to authenticate your login.

Google Account Email (Login with Google)

If you choose to log in using a Google account, we receive your Google-associated email address for authentication purposes only.

If no account exists for this email address, a new account is automatically created.

3. Legal Basis

The processing of your personal data is based on performance of a contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR). The data is necessary to provide the service you request.

All personal data is stored in a secured database. Passwords are protected using industry-standard security measures.

Access to personal data is restricted to authorised systems only, and appropriate technical and organisational measures are in place to protect your data from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as your account remains active. If you delete your account, your personal data will be removed unless retention is required by law.

We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties.

Google login is used only for authentication and does not give us access to your Google account beyond your email address.

If we change how your data is processed, we will update this Privacy Policy and inform users where required.

When you delete your account, all personal data associated with your account (including username and email address) will be permanently removed from our database, unless we are required to retain certain information by law.

Once deleted, this data cannot be recovered.
