Who we are
Our website address is: http://strikeforceniner.com. This privacy policy covers the data collected through the website and the operation of the text-based MUD, Millennium 2099.
What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Account Registration and Gameplay
Creating an account for Millennium 2099 requires an email address, a username, and a password. This information provides authentication and account recovery capabilities. During gameplay, the server logs character names, chat communications, and command inputs. These logs are used to operate the game environment, troubleshoot bugs, and enforce community rules.
Payments and Tip Jar
The site may accept voluntary contributions or future subscriptions using third-party payment processors (such as Stripe or PayPal). The website does not collect or store full credit card numbers. The payment processor provides transaction records, which include the date, amount, and the associated email address. We use these records strictly for accounting purposes.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, the visitor’s IP address, and the browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies last for one year.
Visiting the login page sets a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

Analytics
We collect standard server logs and utilize analytics tools to track website traffic, browser types, and referral pages. This data provides insights into site performance and helps optimize the user experience.
Who we share your data with
Data is not sold to data brokers or advertising networks. We share data with third-party service providers who facilitate:

Data may also be shared with law enforcement if legally required.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically.
For users that register on our website or for Millennium 2099, we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can see and edit that information.
Account Inactivity: To manage server resources, accounts and all associated in-game data will be permanently deleted if the account remains inactive (no successful logins) for a period of 180 consecutive days.
Game Logs: In-game server logs are retained for a rolling period of 30 days for moderation and debugging, after which they are purged.
Children’s Privacy
Our website and services are not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete that information and terminate the associated account immediately.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

How we protect your data
We protect user data using industry-standard practices, including HTTPS encryption for web traffic and secure hashing algorithms for all stored passwords. Administrative access to the server and database is strictly limited and secured.
What data breach procedures we have in place
In the event of a data breach compromising personal information, we will conduct an internal investigation, secure the affected systems, and notify impacted users via email within 72 hours of discovering the breach. Passwords for compromised accounts will be forced to reset upon the next login attempt.
What automated decision making and/or profiling we do with user data
We utilize automated spam detection for comments and web forms. No automated profiling or decision-making systems are used to evaluate personal preferences or behavior outside of standard in-game mechanics.
