Privacy Policy
Last updated 03/25/2019
Definitions
STiBaRC is a service that can be accessed using the STiBaRC website (https://stibarc.com), official STiBaRC apps
for computers and mobile devices, and third-party software via the STiBaRC API. This service, and any other
services we create that are branded as STiBaRC services (such as STiBaRC Messenger), will be referred to as "the
service." STiBaRC is also the name of the organization that maintains the service, which will be referred to as
"we" or "us." "The website" refers to https://stibarc.com and any of its subdomains (such as
https://messenger.stibarc.com). "You" refers to a user of the service. "Official STiBaRC software" refers to the
website and official STiBaRC apps. "Third-party STiBaRC software" refers to software created by a third party
that can be used to access the service.
Use of Information
We have access to the information that you input using official STiBaRC software, and information that is sent
to the service as a result of your use of third-party STiBaRC software. Information that is not public will not
be sold, rented, or given to anyone.
We may contact you using the email address you provide on your profile to notify you of events that require you
to take an action, such as data leaks. We will not send you emails automatically.
We do not use your personal information to make automated decisions.
Children Under 13
The service is not directed to children under 13 years of age. You must be at least 13 years of age to create an
account or otherwise submit information to the service.
Account Creation
You must create an account in order to access all features of the service. Creating an account using official
STiBaRC software is done by submitting a registration form. Third-party STiBaRC software may use a similar
registration form to allow you to create an account. You may provide your name, email address, and birthday when
creating an account, but none of these are required to be provided. You can choose to display these items on
your profile or keep them private from other users.
Data We Collect
When you create an account, we collect your username, password, name (if provided), email address (if provided),
birthday (if provided), and preferences regarding whether this information should be displayed on your profile.
You can create posts and comments, which will be stored with your username and the time they were created. If
you edit your profile to add a "bio" it will be collected. If you donate to STiBaRC, the fact that you did so
will be stored as part of your profile. You can create conversations and messages on STiBaRC Messenger, which
are stored and associated with your and the recipient's usernames. Your IP address is collected as part of
standard server logs.
Security
All user data is stored separate from the website, on a database not accessible to the outside world. All access
to the database is logged and is reviewed frequently.
If an intrusion is found, all affected users will be notified appropriately and quickly.
Information not publicly displayed is not accessible to anyone, even through the API, except to the associated
user and us.
Your password is never stored in plain text. As soon as it is sent to the server, it is quickly hashed and
removed from memory before any other process begins handling the information.
Cookies
We may use cookies on the website and other official STiBaRC software. A cookie is a piece of data stored on
your device that allows the website to identify a repeat visitor to the site and improve your access. Use of
cookies is not linked to personally identifiable information.
Cookies may also be used by third parties (see "Tracking"). We do not have access to these cookies.
Links
Official STiBaRC software and user-created content submitted to the service may contain links to third-party
websites. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of third-party websites.
Content Removal (Notice for Minors)
You can submit content to the service to be shown publicly. If you wish for your content to be removed from the
service, you can contact us by email (see "Contact Us").
Tracking
We do not acknowledge your DNT settings, because we do not track you.

not acknowledge your DNT settings, according to their privacy policy. This third-party software is listed

Sharing

Choices and Changes
If you chose to show any personal information when you created your account, and wish to hide it, you can stop
showing your name, email address, or birthday individually by choosing "Edit profile" on official STiBaRC
software.
You can view the personal information you provided on this same page.
If you wish to receive more detailed information about your personal data, you can submit a request by email
(see "Contact Us").

is handled.
