Editing Jinkley Wiki:Privacy policy (section)

== 1. Information collected and how it's used ==
The personal information that you are asked to provide, and the reasons why you are asked to provide it, will be made clear to you at the point we ask you to provide your personal information. We retain collected User information indefinitely for archival, restorative, or research purposes. Your personal information is kept private and stored securely until a time it is no longer required or has no use. We also retain individual Usage information for 180 days, after which it is deleted.

=== 1.1. User information ===
If you so choose, you may create an account on Jinkley Wiki. Some features are reserved only for logged-in users, like requesting wikis. At the time of account creation, we collect personal information such as your username and password. Your username will be used to identify you on our Services.

You may also provide additional information, if you so choose, such as your name (legal name or commonly used pseudonym or nom de plume), usernames for external communication services including Discord, pronoun preferences, your email address, or other information, in your user preferences or elsewhere. This information will be public and labeled as such. Your real name may be used to attribute your Contributions.

'''Please use discretion when sharing personal information on Jinkley Wiki. This information may be archived or indexed by third parties and search engines and may appear in search results for search engines'''.

=== 1.2. Contributions ===
Making a contribution (such as an edit) through our Services ("Contributions") creates a public record of every piece of content added, removed, or altered by you. The revision history of every page, including who contributed what at what time, is public, and Jinkley Wiki retains this data indefinitely. If you have an account registered with Jinkley Wiki, your Contributions will be attributed and associated to your username (or potentially with the "real name" set in your user preferences, if defined). 


'''If you are not registered with Jinkley Wiki, your Contributions will be associated with your IP Address.'''


'''Your Contributions may be visible to the public and may show up on search engines.''' Even if an article, revision, or any other sort of contribution, is "deleted," it may still be viewable by wiki operators, Jinkley Wiki personnel, or vetted volunteers. Aside from the rare times when Jinkley Wiki is required to delete content in response to a court order or legal process, there is no guarantee that permanent deletion will occur. Please do not contribute anything that you are uncomfortable making permanently public, like revealing your real name or location in your contributions as this may be copied and redistributed throughout the Internet by other people.
