The Jadnix Codex:Privacy Policy

CODEX PRIVACY CONTRACT

“Do people even read these things all the way through?”

THE DATA WE TAKE

When you interact with the Jadnix Codex, as with any site, you leave a digital footprint. Here is exactly what we collect:

• Account Info: Your username and/or email address. You provide these during account registration so the system can tell who you are and send you password resets;

• Log Data: Every time you visit, log in, or edit a page, the server logs your IP address. This is a non-negotiable part of how MediaWiki works. We use this data to prevent site abuse and ensure the Codex isn't being swarmed by bots or malicious persons by tracking and blocking them;

• Public Contributions: Any edit you make to a page is public. Your username (or IP address if you were able to somehow edit a page while logged out) is permanently attached to that edit in the page history.

COOKIES

This site uses cookies for one reason: to keep the Codex functional. These cookies remember who you are so you don't have to log in every five seconds, and they store your site preferences. If you block cookies in your browser, the site is going to act like a stranger and you won't be able to stay logged in. We don't use tracking cookies for ads or any other corporate garbage.

THIRD-PARTY DATA HANDLING

We keep the server lean by offloading high-bandwidth tasks to other services. When you use this site, your data interacts with:

• Image Hosting Services: Such services (like Catbox) host our images, and yours too, if you have any embedded on your personal page. When your browser loads an image from them, they see your IP address;

• Brevo: This is our mail relay. If the wiki sends you an email (like a password reset), your email address passes through their system to get to you;

• RackNerd: Our VPS host. They handle the physical server where the database lives.

We don't control these companies, and so if you are paranoid, please read their individual policies.

WHAT WE DO (AND DO NOT DO) WITH YOUR DATA

We use your data to run the wiki, the Jadnix Codex. That is it.

• We do not sell your email or IP logs to advertisers or data brokers.

• We do not use your contributions for any obscure or questionable commercial marketing without your consent.

• We do use your data to troubleshoot server errors and ban those who try to break this site.

YOUR RIGHTS AND DELETION

You can see the data we have on you at any time by checking your User Preferences and Contributions.

• Deletion: If you want your account gone, contact an admin. Because MediaWiki relies on a permanent edit history, we usually anonymize accounts rather than deleting them. This removes your personal info but keeps the site's history from breaking.

• Data Requests: If you want a copy of your data, simply ask, and we will provide it if we have it.

CONTACT FOR INQUIRIES

By interacting with posting on this site, you agree to the aforementioned information regarding your privacy and data. If you have questions or if the system is acting up, please reach out to the site administrator(s) at "admin@jadnix.xyz".
