Privacy Policy

This is GarryNet's default template. Replace the text in [square brackets], remove anything that doesn't apply to your community, and delete this note. It is a starting point, not legal advice. Check what the law where you and your players live requires.

[Community Name] ("we", "us") runs this website and the game servers connected to it. This policy explains what we collect, why, and what you can do about it.

Who is responsible

[Community Name] is responsible for your data. Contact us at [Contact Email] with any question or request about it.

What we collect

When you log in with Steam

Your SteamID, Steam display name and avatar. Steam tells us these when you log in; we don't receive your Steam password or email address.
When you joined this site and when you were last active on it.

What you add to the site

Your profile bio.
Forum posts, threads, likes and dislikes, and the reputation they earn you.
Support tickets and their replies.
Private messages you send and receive, with their attachments. They are not end-to-end encrypted, and our staff can read them (see "Who can see it" below).
Files and images you upload.

When you play on our servers
Our servers report, for each player (whether or not they have an account here):

SteamID and in-game name.
When you first joined and last played on each server, and your total playtime.
Your in-game rank (usergroup).
Gamemode statistics, such as in-game money or job.

When you buy something

What you bought, the price, discounts applied, and whether it was delivered in-game or refunded.
Payments are handled by Stripe. Your card details go directly to Stripe and never reach us. Stripe's privacy policy is at https://stripe.com/privacy.

Moderation

Bans and suspensions, with the reason, who issued them and when.

Notifications

The notifications we show you on the site. Read notifications are deleted after 30 days.

Cookies

We use two cookies, both needed for the site to work:

garrynet_token keeps you logged in. It expires after 24 hours or when you log out.
garrynet_login_state protects the Steam login against forgery. It lasts a few minutes.

We don't use advertising or tracking cookies. [Remove this line, or list them here, if you add analytics.]

Why we use it

To log you in and show your profile.
To run the forums, support and store.
To deliver purchases to your Steam account in-game.
To moderate the community and keep banned players off our servers.
To show statistics such as playtime on profiles and server pages.

Who can see it

Your profile, forum posts and playtime statistics are public.
Support tickets are visible to you and our support team.
Private messages are visible to you and the person you wrote to. Staff who manage users can also read them, including ones you or the other person deleted and ones set to disappear, so don't send anything you wouldn't want staff to see.
Purchases are visible to you and staff who manage the store.
We share payment information with Stripe to process payments.
Our hosting provider ([Hosting Provider]) stores the data on our behalf.

We don't sell your data.

How long we keep it

We keep your account and the content you post until you ask us to delete it. Deleting a chat only hides it from you, and disappearing messages are only hidden from you and the other person after 24 hours; both stay available to staff. Player records are kept while the servers they belong to exist. Purchase records are kept for as long as we need them for accounting and legal reasons.

Your rights

You can ask us to show you, correct, or delete the data we hold about you by contacting [Contact Email]. Depending on where you live, you may also have the right to object to how we use it and to complain to your data protection authority.

Changes

If we change this policy we'll update the date shown on this page.
