The Animator

Community Thread

Hello, @dan.

So, I have a couple of interesting questions.

Do you collect personal data on fellow animators?

If so...

What info are you collecting? Why are you collecting it? What are you doing with it? Is it stored? If it is, for how long? Did we agree to this?

Sorry if is too much. I'm interested in this stuff. If you don't want to answer, I don't mind.

we never agreed to anything except giving our email address and ip really

Ooooh-

I guess that's correct.

No personal data is collected except for your IP address. I only ask for email addresses to allow you to reset your password.

The IP address is collected so I can identify people doing bad things on the site.

Passwords are one-way hashed and the original password cannot be seen by me or anyone else.

It is stored in a secure database in Ireland. The database is only used by this website.

Google Analytics is used to provide statistics on how the site is used. Google ads is used for a small amount of advertising income to pay for server costs. There are no other tracking scripts.

Yes, probably. The IP address will be that of the VPN company.

To be honest, I don't really care what the IP is, I only use it to help identify accounts from the same person.

Oh. That's quite interesting.
