Privacy Policy - The Sewer Lair

This Privacy Policy explains how The Sewer Lair (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you use our website.

What we collect

Depending on how you use the site, we may collect:

Account information (such as username/email and login details) if you create an account.
Collection activity (items/figures you tick, completion/progress, and related preferences).
User content you submit (such as notes you save on a figure/item).
Uploads (only if you choose to upload images/files where the site allows it).
Technical and usage data (IP address, device/browser info, pages visited, timestamps, error logs) for security and performance.
Cookies/session data needed to keep you logged in and the site working correctly.

How we use your information

To operate the site features (accounts, saving ticks/progress, notes, and preferences).
To keep the site secure, prevent abuse, and troubleshoot issues.
To improve site performance and user experience.
To respond to messages submitted through our contact page.

Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies primarily for essential purposes such as session management (staying logged in) and security. Some third-party services (like Stripe and social media embeds/links) may also set cookies or use similar technologies.

Donations and payments via Stripe

Donations on this site are processed by Stripe. We do not store full payment card details on our servers. Stripe may collect and process information such as transaction details and device information to process payments, prevent fraud, and comply with legal obligations.

Facebook and Instagram links / feeds

We may link to, or display content from, Facebook and Instagram (for example: page links or embedded feeds). When you view or interact with that content, those services may collect information (like your IP address and interactions) and may use cookies or similar technologies. Your interactions with those services are governed by their own privacy policies.

Sharing of information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information with service providers only as needed to run the site, such as hosting/infrastructure providers, payment processing (Stripe), and security/backup tooling.

Data retention

We keep information for as long as needed to provide the site and its features, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce policies. You may request access or deletion (see below).

Security

We take reasonable steps to protect information, but no online service can guarantee absolute security. Please use a strong password and keep your login details private.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example: GDPR/UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, NZ Privacy Act), you may have the right to request access, correction, or deletion of your personal information. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.
