Privacy Notice
Deceit Forum is a public Discourse community. This notice explains what the forum processes and why.
Information you provide
Account registration can include an email address, username, display name, password credential, profile details, preferences, posts, messages, flags, and files you choose to upload. Passwords are stored through Discourse’s credential security system, not as readable text.
Public posts, usernames, profile details, and uploaded public files can be viewed, linked, quoted, indexed, or archived by other people and services. Use a public identity boundary that fits your circumstances.
Technical information
The forum and its service providers process connection and security information needed to deliver the site, prevent abuse, diagnose failures, and protect accounts. This can include IP addresses, timestamps, browser details, request logs, cookies, session identifiers, email delivery events, and moderation records.
Cloudflare provides edge delivery and security. Resend provides transactional email. The forum stores daily encrypted-service backups in a private Cloudflare R2 bucket and keeps up to 14 backups under the current operating policy.
How information is used
Information is used to operate accounts and discussions, deliver requested email, enforce community rules, investigate security and abuse reports, maintain backups, comply with valid legal obligations, and improve reliability. Deceit does not sell or rent forum account information.
Retention and control
Public contributions can remain part of the discussion record. Account, log, moderation, and backup data are retained according to operational, safety, and legal needs. Backup copies age out through the forum’s retention window.
Use your account settings to manage profile details, sessions, notifications, exports, and available deletion controls. Some records may be retained when required to preserve discussion integrity, investigate abuse, protect others, or meet legal obligations.
