Privacy Policy for  IRySdoko.com​​​

​

Effective Date: June 11, 2025

Welcome to IRySdoko.com, a non-profit, fan-driven wiki dedicated to providing comprehensive information about the VTuber IRyS. We are committed to protecting the privacy of our users. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices regarding your information.

1. Information We Collect

As a non-profit wiki, we aim to collect as little personal information as possible. We primarily collect:

• Information You Voluntarily Provide:

  • User Accounts (Optional): If you choose to create an account to contribute to the wiki, we collect your chosen username, email address, and a password (stored securely as a hash). Providing this information is entirely voluntary.

  • Contributions: Any content you submit to the wiki (e.g., edits, new pages, comments) will be associated with your username if you have an account, or your IP address if you are editing anonymously.

  • Communications: If you contact us via email or other means, we may collect your name, email address, and the content of your message to respond to your inquiry.

• Automatically Collected Information:

  • IP Addresses: When you visit our website, our servers automatically record your IP address. This is a standard practice for all websites and is used for security, analytics, and to help identify and prevent malicious activity (e.g., spam, vandalism). We do not link IP addresses to identifiable individuals unless necessary for security or legal purposes.

  • Browser Information: We may collect information about the type of browser you use, your operating system, and the date and time of your visit. This helps us understand how our site is being accessed and to improve compatibility.

  • Cookies: Like many websites, we may use "cookies" to enhance your experience. These are small text files stored on your device.

    • Essential Cookies: These are necessary for the basic functionality of the wiki (e.g., to keep you logged in if you have an account, or to remember your display preferences).

    • Analytical Cookies (Optional): We may use anonymized analytics services (e.g., Matomo with IP anonymization, or self-hosted analytics) to understand website traffic patterns and improve content. These services are configured to minimize the collection of personal data and do not typically track individual users. We will always prioritize privacy-preserving analytics.

We do NOT collect sensitive personal data (e.g., health information, financial details) or information about your race, religion, or political opinions.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To Operate and Maintain the Wiki: To provide you with access to IRySdoko.com, allow you to contribute content, and ensure the website functions correctly.

• To Improve the Wiki: To understand how users interact with our content, identify popular pages, and make improvements to the site's design and functionality.

• Security and Vandalism Prevention: To detect and prevent spam, vandalism, and other malicious activities that could harm the integrity of the wiki or our users. IP addresses are crucial for this.

• Communication: To respond to your inquiries and provide support.

• Legal Compliance: To comply with applicable laws, regulations, and legal processes if required.

3. Sharing Your Information

As a non-profit wiki, we are committed to not selling or renting your personal information to third parties. We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

• Public Contributions: Any content you contribute to the wiki (including your username if you have one, or your IP address if editing anonymously) is publicly visible and accessible by anyone.

• Service Providers: We may use trusted third-party service providers (e.g., web hosting, analytics tools) to help us operate the wiki. These providers are bound by contractual obligations to keep your information confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them.

• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court order or government agency).

• Protection of Rights: We may disclose information when we believe it is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of IRySdoko.com, our users, or others.

4. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

• User Account Information: Your username and email are retained as long as your account is active. You can request account deletion (see "Your Choices" below).

• Contributions: Wiki edits and associated metadata are generally retained indefinitely as part of the wiki's historical record, unless legal or security reasons necessitate removal.

• IP Addresses: IP addresses in server logs are typically rotated and deleted after a short period (e.g., 30-90 days), unless specific security incidents require longer retention.

5. Your Choices and Rights

Depending on your location and applicable laws, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:

• Access and Correction: You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you and to request corrections of any inaccuracies.

• Account Deletion: If you have created a user account, you can request its deletion. Please note that while your account will be removed, your past contributions to the wiki will generally remain associated with your username (or IP if anonymous), though they will no longer be linked to an active account.

• Opt-Out of Non-Essential Cookies: You can usually set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of IRySdoko.com may become inaccessible or not function properly.

• Lodge a Complaint: If you believe your privacy rights have been violated, you may have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority in your jurisdiction.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information provided below.

6. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage is ever 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Links to Other Websites

IRySdoko.com may contain links to other websites that are not operated by us. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

8. Children's Privacy

IRySdoko.com is not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information from our servers.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page with a revised "Effective Date." We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Your continued use of the website after any changes signifies your acceptance of the updated policy.
