====== Privacy Policy ======

This page explains how and when your personal data is collected, processed and used when accessing nanobyte.dev or any of its subdomains. Basis of all processing are the terms of the [[https://ec.europa.eu/commission/priorities/justice-and-fundamental-rights/data-protection/2018-reform-eu-data-protection-rules_en|General Data Protection Regulation]] (GDPR).

In the following text we use

  * "we" for the people managing the website or in GDPR speak: the controller
  * "you" for the users accessing the website or in GDPR speak: the data subject

This text was written to be short and easy to understand by someone who is not a lawyer. If you feel something is not as clear as it should be, please help to improve it (it's a wiki after all).

===== Cookies =====

Cookies are small text files stored by us inside your browser. This allows us to give your browser a short- and long-term memory.

In general, all cookies we set are necessary to provide functionality on our sites. The main site is built on the DokuWiki platform. Details on which cookies are set by DokuWiki are available at [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/faq:cookies|Cookies]].

Some of the third party services we use (see below) may also set their own cookies. We explain those further down. Your browser has settings to control which cookies it accepts and for how long it stores them. [[https://www.whatismybrowser.com/guides/how-to-enable-cookies/|How to enable cookies.]]

===== Server Logs =====

The web server hosting our site will log each page access. This log will also contain some personal data:

  * your IP address
  * the referrer (where you came from)
  * your browser identification

This information is necessary for legal reasons and to analyse and prevent abuse. This allows us to keep users away who try to crash our server or to have necessary evidence in case of illegal or criminal activity.

Our server logs are automatically deleted after 14 days. We will only keep log files longer when they are needed as evidence during an investigation.

===== Change Logs =====

When you edit a page in the wiki, we log the following personal data

  * username
  * IP address

This allows us to easily block users who vandalize the wiki. And your username allows us to credit you according to the [[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/|CC Attribution Share Alike]] license we use on this wiki.

===== User Profiles =====

[TODO: change this]

When you opt to register for an account in our [[http://todo.example.com|forum]] you need to provide the following minimal data:

  * username
  * email address
  * password

All other data is optional.

The forum and the wiki share your user account data (both are running on the same server). That means the same information is used in the wiki. You can see and update that personal information in your forum profile.

When you want to delete your account, write an email to [[admin@nanobyte.dev]]. Unfortunately the forum currently does not support self-deletion.

===== Third Party Processing =====

Our main principle is to avoid sending any data to third parties, if possible. We don't use any third party analytics, we don't run ads, and we don't even use third party CDNs for delivering static resources like JavaScript libraries or fonts. However, there are situations in which sending data to third parties is unavoidable.

==== YouTube and other Videos ====

Some of our pages may contain videos. We use the [[plugin:vshare|Video Share Plugin]] for that. We use the "privacy enhanced" ''youtube-nocookie.com'' domain for YouTube videos. That domain will not track your visit. Your IP address will be visible to YouTube's server though.

Videos embedded from other sources may track your visit.

==== Social login ====

Logging in using a social account will allow the social platforms to track your visits to this site.

==== Discord, Patreon, GitHub ====

The data that is collected on the Discord server, the Patreon page and the GitHub organization is outside our direct control. Please consult each platform's privacy policy for information on data collected: [[https://discord.com/privacy|Discord]], [[https://privacy.patreon.com/|Patreon]], [[https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/privacy-policies/github-privacy-statement|GitHub]].

===== Your Rights =====

The GDPR guarantees your right to information about your personal data, as well as your rights to rectification, erasure, and portability (e.g. for transferring data). Furthermore, you have a right to restriction and objection of processing your data.

Feel free to write an email to [[admin@nanobyte.dev]] or post in the [[https://todo.example.com|forum]], so that we can work out how we can help you.

Of course, you also have a right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory data protection authority.
