Privacy policy

The Hoard is privacy-oriented by design. Accounts do not require an email address. Optional email addresses are used for notifications only and are not authentication or recovery factors.

Essential cookies

The site uses strictly necessary session/security cookies to keep you signed in, protect forms and provide account features. The beta does not require advertising cookies to operate.

Data you choose to provide

This can include profile information, artwork, character references, messages, listings, order information, optional notification email and public portfolio content.

Payments

Payment credentials and card details should remain with the selected payment service provider. The Hoard may store provider names, external transaction references and payment-status events needed to operate an order.

Presence

Online/last-seen visibility can be disabled in Privacy settings.

Deletion

Account deletion removes account data and owned uploads where possible. Active/pending paid orders may temporarily block deletion until the transaction state is resolved.

This beta privacy notice should be reviewed for the operator's jurisdiction before public launch.
