Privacy policy

Information we collect

• Account data: if you register, your email address, a display name, and a securely hashed password. We never store passwords in plain text.
• Membership data: your VIP tier and status. Payments are handled by our processor; we receive confirmation and a reference, not your full card number.
• Usage & device data: IP address, browser/user-agent, and pages viewed, used for security, rate limiting, abuse prevention, and aggregate analytics.
• Cookies: a session cookie to keep you signed in. VIP access is tied to your account, so no separate membership cookie is used.

How we use information

• To operate the Service, authenticate you, and provide VIP access.
• To secure the Service: detect abuse, enforce rate limits, and prevent fraud.
• To understand aggregate usage and improve the catalog.
• To respond to your requests and legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your data to build advertising profiles.

Analytics

We use privacy-respecting, cookieless analytics that measure traffic in aggregate and do not track you across other sites.

Sharing

We share information only with service providers who help us run the Service (such as our payment processor and hosting provider), and when required by law or to protect our rights and users. These providers act on our instructions under confidentiality obligations.

Data retention

We keep account and membership data while your account is active and as needed for legal, security, and accounting purposes. Security logs are retained for a limited period and then deleted or anonymized.

Your choices & rights

You may access, correct, or delete your account information, and request a copy of your data, by emailing [email protected]. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under the GDPR or CCPA, including the right to object to or restrict certain processing.

Security

We protect your data with hashed passwords, encrypted transport (HTTPS), and access controls. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, but we work to safeguard your information.

Children

The Service is for adults only and is not directed to anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from minors.

Changes & contact

We may update this policy; material changes are posted with a revised date. Questions or requests: [email protected].
