Privacy Policy & User Agreement

Last updated September 8, 2026

By using this site, you agree to this Privacy Policy & User Agreement.

Live Chat

Selecting a username in the live chat, available on the Live page, stores a device identifier in the visitor's browser to associate that username with the device on return visits. The username and message content are stored to operate the chat.

The first time a username is claimed, the site performs a one-time lookup of the visitor's public IP address, used only to detect ban evasion. The address is deleted automatically 90 days after the username is claimed.

Store

Checkout is not currently active. When enabled, payment will be processed directly by Stripe. This site will not collect or store payment card information.

Tracking

This site does not use Google Analytics, advertising trackers, or tracking pixels.

This site embeds YouTube, SoundCloud, and Sketchfab content. These are third-party services that may set their own cookies under their own privacy policies, independent of this site.

This site uses the YouTube API Service to display recently uploaded videos. Use of this site's video content constitutes acceptance of YouTube's Terms of Service and Google's Privacy Policy.

Personal Information

No name, email address, or physical address is collected unless voluntarily submitted. Data collected under this policy is stored using Google Firebase.

Cookies

This site stores small amounts of information in your browser to support features you use directly — keeping your chat identity across visits, and remembering your cart before checkout.

Age Requirement

This site is intended for users who are at least 18 years old. By using this site, you represent that you meet this requirement. Separately, this site is not directed to children under the age of 13, and does not knowingly collect information from children under 13; any information believed to have been submitted by a child under 13 will be deleted upon request.

User Agreement

International Visitors

For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland: the processing described in this policy relies on legitimate interest — operating the live chat, detecting ban evasion, and maintaining basic site security — except for store purchases, which rely on performance of that purchase. Data is stored using Google Firebase and may be processed or stored outside your country, including in the United States, under Google's standard contractual safeguards.

Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated to reflect changes in the site's data practices. The date above reflects the most recent revision.
