1. When this notice applies

This notice applies to all users of the hostile.org website, and may be edited at any point in the future. By accepting this privacy policy, you are automatically bound to any future revisions of it, unless you choose to opt-out, which can be done at any time from your account settings. An alternative process is detailed below.

2. What personal information is

Personal information is data that can be used to identify a specific person. This data includes, but is not specific to, your name, IP address, email address, address, phone number, and user activity.

The term only applies to data that has been provided to us directly. Additionally, it does not apply to anonymous usage statistics, as long as the data being recorded does not include specific activity. An example of this would be storing usage metrics, such as that a user searched for something, instead of storing what the user searched.

3. Our stored data

Hostile does not store any non-essential data. The data we associate with your user profile does not include your IP address, however we do non-persistently store completely anonymized IP addresses for rate limiting, which is critical to prevent misuse.

Other than this, we do not store or collect your IP address or activity within our own systems, though our infrastructure providers (such as Amazon and CloudFlare) may record anonymized data, to prevent against system misuse. This data is not ever associated with your Hostile account, as this information is collected by them.

3.3 | The Opt-Out Process

If you do decide to request to opt-out of our storage of your data, please log into your account and begin the deletion process through your profile settings. Once this process has begun, you have 24 hours to cancel the deletion of your account, otherwise your account and all your associated data will be fully deleted within 24 hours.
