What We Collect
---------------

- **Account data:** your name, email address, and password (stored hashed), plus optional profile details you choose to add.
- **Contribution data:** the catalog submissions, suggested edits, community notes, and bug reports you make, along with the date, your IP address, and browser user-agent for abuse prevention.
- **Usage data:** stash, wishlist, and project records you create for your own use.

How We Use It
-------------

We use your data to operate the encyclopedia: attributing and moderating contributions, awarding points, sending the notifications you have enabled, preventing spam and abuse, and improving search. We do not sell your personal information.

Email
-----

We send transactional email (verification, password resets, contribution updates) and, only if you subscribe, newsletters. Every newsletter includes an unsubscribe link, and notification emails can be turned off per type in your settings.

Cookies
-------

We use session cookies required for signing in and keeping the site secure (including CSRF protection). If captcha is enabled, Cloudflare Turnstile may set its own functional cookies.

Public Information
------------------

Your display name appears next to your contributions and community notes. Your profile is public only if you enable that in your settings; your email address is never shown publicly unless you explicitly turn on the contact-email option.

Retention and Your Choices
--------------------------

Account data is kept while your account is active. You can edit your profile and notification preferences at any time, and you may request account deletion through the contact details in the footer. Contribution records may be retained in anonymized form to preserve the integrity of the catalog's history.
