Privacy Policy

Scope and status
This notice applies to all visitors and registered users of flaskbb.org and to all related pages that link to it. It covers data collected online through forms, cookies, analytics tags, and similar technologies.

Data we collect
We collect information you provide directly, such as account details and form submissions. We also gather certain data automatically for security and performance.

• Account information such as username and email
• Usage data such as pages viewed and interaction logs
• Technical data such as IP address, device type, browser, and settings

How we use personal data
We process data to operate the site, provide requested features, and improve reliability and safety for all users.

• Create and manage user accounts
• Deliver content and core functionality
• Provide security measures including fraud and abuse prevention
• Analyse performance to maintain and improve the service

Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and local storage to remember preferences, maintain sessions, and measure site performance. You can control cookies in your browser settings, though blocking them may limit functionality.

Legal bases for processing
We rely on several lawful bases depending on the context of the processing.

• Performance of a contract when you create an account or use core features
• Legitimate interests for security, analytics, and service improvement that do not override your rights
• Consent where required for optional analytics or preference storage
• Compliance with legal obligations where applicable

Sharing and service providers
We may share limited data with vetted service providers who perform hosting, security, analytics, and operational support. These providers process data only on our instructions and must protect it appropriately. We do not sell personal data.

International data transfers
If data is transferred to another country, we apply safeguards designed to keep your information protected in line with applicable data protection laws.

Data retention
We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes set out here. Retention periods consider legal requirements, dispute resolution, and the need to maintain accurate records. When data is no longer required it is deleted or anonymised.

Your privacy choices and rights
You may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain processing of your personal data, as well as to object to processing in specific situations.

• Access a copy of your personal data held by us
• Request corrections to inaccurate or incomplete data
• Request deletion where the data is no longer needed
• Object to processing based on legitimate interests
• Withdraw consent for optional features that rely on consent

We will respond to valid requests within applicable timelines. Some rights may be limited where we have compelling lawful grounds or legal obligations.

Security
We use technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. These measures include encryption in transit where appropriate, access controls, and regular reviews of system integrity.
No online service can guarantee perfect security, but we work continually to reduce risk and to respond promptly to potential issues.

Children’s privacy
Our services are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age required by law to use this service.

Updates to this policy
We may revise this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our service or legal requirements. When changes are material, we will provide a clear notice on flaskbb.org. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised terms.
