1. Information We Collect
- Account data: the username, email address, password (stored hashed, never in plain text) and character sex you provide when registering.
- Character and gameplay data: your characters, items, guild membership, chat and other in-game activity, as part of the normal operation of the game server.
- Technical data: your IP address and connection timestamps, recorded automatically by the login/game servers for security and abuse prevention (e.g. rate limiting, ban enforcement).
- Launching the game: when you start the game from the website, we create a temporary, single-use token so you can sign in without entering your password again. It does not contain your password and is deleted after use or expiry.
- Acceptance of rules: we record that you accepted the Terms of Service and game rules, together with the date, account, IP address and accepted rules version.
- Poring Staff chatbot: if you choose to use it after accepting its dedicated notice, we record the messages you send, generated replies and technical request data (account or session, date and time, IP address and user agent). This data is used to operate and secure the service, diagnose errors and improve it. Do not enter passwords, payment details or other sensitive information.
- Cookies and browser preferences: we use technical cookies for session and security, plus local browser storage for some website and game preferences. For the detailed list, see the Cookie Policy.
- Polls: if you answer a non-anonymous poll, your answers are linked to your account (also required to grant any prize) and the page asks for your explicit consent before you submit. In anonymous polls your answers are never linked to your account - which is also why anonymous polls never grant prizes.
