Account information. When you register, we collect your username, email address, and a hashed password. Your email is used only for account-related communication and is never sold or shared with advertisers.

Usage data. We log standard web server data such as IP addresses, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps. This data is used to maintain site security, diagnose errors, and understand general usage patterns.

Preferences. We store your chosen timezone (if set) to display times correctly for your location. This is stored as a session cookie and in your account profile.

Cookies. We use session cookies to keep you logged in. We do not use third-party tracking cookies. If we add advertising in the future, that policy will be updated.
