## What Information is Collected
|
|
|
|
**All users:**
|
|
|
|
* HTTP requests are logged, with the following information:
|
|
* Time
|
|
* IP address
|
|
* Page URL
|
|
* Response status code
|
|
|
|
**With an account:**
|
|
|
|
* Email address
|
|
* Passwords (hashed and salted using BCrypt)
|
|
* Profile information, such as website URLs and donation URLs
|
|
* Comments and threads
|
|
* Audit log actions (such as edits and logins) and their time stamps
|
|
|
|
ContentDB collects usernames of content creators from the forums,
|
|
as this is required to index forum topics.
|
|
|
|
Packages, including releases, screenshots, and any meta information,
|
|
are not considered personal information.
|
|
|
|
Please avoid giving other personal information as we do not want it.
|
|
|
|
## How this information is used
|
|
|
|
* Logged HTTP requests may be used for debugging ContentDB.
|
|
* Email addresses are used to:
|
|
* Provide essential system messages, such as password resets.
|
|
* Send notifications - the user may configure this to their needs, including opting out.
|
|
* Passwords are used to authenticate the user.
|
|
* The audit log is used to record actions that may be harmful
|
|
* Other information is displayed as part of ContentDB's service.
|
|
|
|
## Who has access
|
|
|
|
* Only the admin has access to the HTTP requests.
|
|
The logs may be shared with others to aid in debugging, but care will be taken to remove any personal information.
|
|
* Encrypted backups may be shared with selected Minetest staff members (moderators + core devs).
|
|
The keys and the backups themselves are given to different people,
|
|
requiring at least two staff members to read a backup.
|
|
* Emails are visible to moderators and the admin.
|
|
They have access to assist users, and they are not permitted to share email addresses.
|
|
* Hashing protects passwords from being read whilst stored in the database or in backups.
|
|
* Profile information is public, including URLs and linked accounts.
|
|
* The visibility of comments depends on the visibility of threads.
|
|
They are either public, or visible only to the package author and editors.
|
|
* The complete audit log is visible to moderators.
|
|
Users may see their own audit log actions on their account settings page.
|
|
Owners, maintainers, and editors may be able to see the actions on a package in the future.
|
|
* We may be required to share information with law enforcement.
|
|
|
|
## Location
|
|
|
|
The ContentDB production server is currently located in Canada.
|
|
Backups are stored in the UK.
|
|
Encrypted backups may be stored in other countries, such as the US or EU.
|
|
|
|
By using this service, you give permission for the data to be moved as needed.
|
|
|
|
## Period of Retention
|
|
|
|
The server uses log rotation, meaning that any logged HTTP requests will be
|
|
forgotten within a few weeks.
|
|
|
|
Usernames may be kept indefinitely, but other user information will be deleted if
|
|
requested. See below.
|
|
|
|
## Removal Requests
|
|
|
|
Please [raise a report](https://content.minetest.net/help/reporting/) if you
|
|
wish to remove your personal information.
|
|
|
|
ContentDB keeps a record of each username and forum topic on the forums,
|
|
for use in indexing mod/game topics. ContentDB also requires the use of a username
|
|
to uniquely identify a package. Therefore, an author cannot be removed completely
|
|
from ContentDB if they have any packages or mod/game topics on the forum.
|
|
|
|
If we are unable to remove your account for one of the above reasons, your user
|
|
account will instead be wiped and deactivated, ending up exactly like an author
|
|
who has not yet joined ContentDB. All personal information will be removed from the profile,
|
|
and any comments or threads will be deleted.
|
|
|
|
## Future Changes to Privacy Policy
|
|
|
|
We will alert any future changes to the privacy policy via email and
|
|
via notices on the ContentDB website.
|
|
|
|
By continuing to use this service, you agree to the privacy policy.
