Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information vertineer collects, why it is used, and the choices available to users.

Information we collect

We collect account details such as username, email address, date of birth, password hash, agreement timestamps, and verification status. We also process content and activity including forum posts, statuses, friendships, messages, games, items, reports, and transactions.

Technical information may include IP address, browser and device details, timestamps, cookies, security events, and diagnostic logs.

How information is used

• Provide accounts, profiles, community features, and purchases.
• Verify email addresses and deliver service messages.
• Prevent spam, fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access.
• Moderate content and enforce our Terms of Service.
• Diagnose problems and improve reliability.

Cookies and sessions

Essential cookies keep you signed in, protect forms from cross-site request forgery, and remember necessary preferences. Optional analytics or advertising cookies will require any consent mandated by applicable law.

When information is shared

Information may be processed by service providers that support hosting, email, storage, payments, security, and analytics. We may also disclose information when legally required, to protect users, or as part of a business transfer. We do not sell personal information.

Public information

Usernames, profiles, friendships, badges, public statuses, forum activity, games, groups, and uploaded assets may be visible publicly. Do not publish personal information in public content.

Retention and security

Information is retained only as long as reasonably needed for the service, safety, dispute resolution, and legal obligations. We use access controls, password hashing, signed links, and other safeguards, but no online system can guarantee absolute security.

Children

vertineer is not intended for children under 13. If we learn that an underage account was created, we may remove it and its associated information.

Your choices

You may update eligible account information and request access, correction, or deletion where required by law. Some records may be retained for security, fraud prevention, or legal compliance.
