1. Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information:

• Account Information. When you create an account, you provide a password (stored in hashed form using Bcrypt) and your Discord User ID, which we associate with your account.
• User-Generated Content (UGC). Any content you upload, input, or otherwise provide to the Service (for example: items, assets, or other user-created materials) is collected and stored. We do not require or encourage submission of sensitive personal data.
• Technical Information. We collect your IP address. For long-term storage, IP addresses are stored as SHA256 hashes (without salt). Unhashed IP addresses may be retained temporarily in Apache access logs for up to thirty (30) days to monitor for abuse and security incidents.
• Activity Logs. We log certain actions you take within the Service (e.g., login attempts, catalog item usage, moderation events) for operational, security, and troubleshooting purposes.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• Authentication and Account Management. To authenticate users and maintain the association between accounts and Discord User IDs.
• Service Operation and Security. To operate, maintain, and secure the Service, including detecting and preventing abuse, unauthorized access, and other security incidents.
• Access Control. To associate invite or access keys with accounts by linking them to Discord User IDs.
• Moderation and Enforcement. To investigate and enforce our Terms of Service and community rules and to maintain a safe environment for users.

3. Information Sharing

We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties for commercial purposes. We may disclose information if required to do so by law, regulation, or valid legal process (for example, a subpoena or court order).

4. Data Retention and Deletion

• User-Initiated Deletion. You may request removal of certain UGC by contacting a moderator or administrator; that content will be overwritten and rendered inaccessible.
• Permanent Deletion. To request permanent deletion of your account and associated data (including backups), contact us at me@termy.lol. We will process deletion requests in accordance with applicable law and our internal procedures.
• Log Data. Unhashed IP addresses retained in Apache access logs are deleted automatically or manually within thirty (30) days.
• Retention for Service Integrity. Some data may be retained even after deletion requests for purposes including, but not limited to:
  • Enforcing suspensions, terminations, or other account restrictions,
  • Complying with legal, regulatory, or contractual obligations, and
  • Maintaining the security, stability, and integrity of the Service.

5. Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect information under our control, such as hashing passwords with Bcrypt and storing IP addresses as SHA256 hashes for long-term use. However, no security system is impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please avoid submitting sensitive personal information to the Service. You are responsible for ensuring the confidentiality of any data you provide to the service.

6. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has created an account, we will terminate access and delete associated personal information, except that we may retain the IP address and Discord User ID solely for enforcement purposes.

The Service may contain links to, or embedded content (such as iframes) from, third-party websites or services not operated by Novarin, including community platforms. Novarin does not control, endorse, or assume responsibility for the content, security, or privacy practices of these third-party services. Embedded content may collect information about your interactions with it, and we are not responsible for any data collected or used by these third parties. Please review the privacy policies and terms of use of any third-party websites or services you access through the Service.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If material changes are made we will notify users by posting a notice on the Service, sending a message from an administrative account on the Service, and issuing a public announcement in our official Discord guild. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
