1. Introduction
Welcome to The Floppa Network. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect on our website and how we use it.
Our website is a community hub for gaming groups and does not require any personal accounts or registration.
2. Information We Collect
We collect minimal, anonymous information to understand how our website is used:
- Website Visits: We log when someone visits our site
- Technical Information: Screen resolution, browser language, device type
- Link Clicks: When you click on guild links (like PolyNews)
- Referral Source: How you found our site (Google, Discord, etc.)
What We DO NOT Collect:
- Your name, email, or contact information
- Your IP address (visible only to Discord, not to us)
- Your physical location
- Any personal identification
- Payment or financial information
3. How We Use Information
The anonymous data we collect helps us:
- Understand how many people visit our community site
- See which guild links are most popular
- Improve our website for different screen sizes
- Make decisions about community growth
We do not sell, rent, or trade any data. We do not use data for advertising.
4. Third-Party Services
We use Discord's webhook service to receive visit notifications. When you visit our site:
- Anonymous data is sent to Discord's servers
- Discord's Privacy Policy applies to their handling of this data
- We only see the information displayed in our Discord channel (no IPs)
Our guild links go to external platforms (Polytoria, Buildoverse) with their own privacy policies.
5. Your Rights & Choices
Since we don't collect personal data, you have the following options:
- Opt-out: You can disable JavaScript in your browser to prevent logging
- Control Cookies: Use your browser settings to manage cookies
- Do Not Track: Our site respects "Do Not Track" browser signals
- View Data: You can ask what data we have about visits (anonymous only)
6. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the anonymous data we collect:
- Data is transmitted securely to Discord
- We don't maintain our own databases of visitor information
- Access to the Discord analytics channel is restricted
7. Children's Privacy
Our website is accessible to users of all ages. However, in compliance with COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act):
- We do not knowingly collect any data from visitors under 13 years of age
- If you are under 13, please do not use our website
- Parents/guardians: Contact us if you have questions about our data practices
By using our website, you confirm that you are 13 years of age or older.
8. Data Deletion Rights
Important: We collect only anonymous, non-personal analytics. This means:
- Data cannot identify individual users (no names, emails, IPs we can see)
- Each analytics entry is anonymous and untraceable to specific individuals
- We cannot delete "your data" because we cannot identify which data is yours
Our Position on Data Deletion:
Since we collect only anonymous analytics that cannot be tied to individual users, individual data deletion requests are not applicable to our service.
If you have concerns about our data practices, you may:
- Disable JavaScript in your browser to prevent future data collection
- Contact us with questions about our analytics practices
9. Policy Updates
We may update this privacy policy occasionally. The "Last Updated" date at the top will change. Continued use of our site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
10. Contact Us
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, you can contact us through:
- Our PolyNews guild on Polytoria
- Our future Buildoverse group (when open)
For general inquiries about our data practices, use the same contact methods.
