+
+## Who is Privacy Guides?
+
+Privacy Guides is a community project operated by a number of active volunteer contributors. The public list of team members [can be found on GitHub](https://github.com/orgs/privacyguides/people).
+
+## How does Privacy Guides collect data about me?
+
+We collect data:
+
+* When you browse a website, forum, or other Privacy Guides service.
+* When you create an account on a Privacy Guides service.
+* When you post, send private messages, or otherwise participate on a Privacy Guides service.
+
+This data will be collected regardless of browser, device, or app used to access our services. We do not buy or otherwise receive data from data brokers.
+
+## What data do you collect and why?
+
+### We collect data about visits to our websites
+
+When you visit a Privacy Guides website or service, regardless of whether you have an account or not, the website may use cookies, server logs, and other methods to collect the following data:
+
+* What pages you visit,
+* Your anonymized IP address: We anonymize the last 3 bytes of your IP, e.g. 192.xxx.xxx.xxx.
+
+We use this data to:
+
+* Optimize websites and services, so that they are quick and easy to use,
+* Diagnose and debug technical errors,
+* Defend websites and services from abuse and technical attacks.
+
+This data is processed under our [Legitimate Interest](https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protection/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/legitimate-interests/when-can-we-rely-on-legitimate-interests/) to provide our services to you in a an efficient and secure manner and to ensure the legal compliance and proper administration of our business.
+
+Raw data such as pages visited, anonymized visitor IPs, and visitor actions will be retained for 60 days. In special circumstances—such as extended investigations regarding a technical attack—we may preserve logged data for longer periods for analysis. We store aggregate statistics about use of the websites and services we host indefinitely, but those statistics do not include data identifiable to you personally.
+
+### We collect account data
+
+On some websites and services we provide, many features may require an account. For example, an account may be required to post and reply to topics on a forum platform.
+
+To sign up for most accounts, we will collect a name, username, email, and password. In the event a website requires more information than just that data, that will be clearly marked and noted in a separate privacy statement per-site.
+
+We use your account data to identify you on the website and to create pages specific to you, such as your profile page. We will also use your account data to publish a public profile for you on our services.
+
+We use your email to:
+
+* Notify you about posts and other activity on the websites or services.
+* Reset your password and help keep your account secure.
+* Contact you in special circumstances related to your account.
+* Contact you about legal requests, such as DMCA takedown requests.
+
+On some websites and services you may provide additional information for your account, such as a short biography, avatar, your location, or your birthday. We make that information available to everyone who can access the website or service in question. This information is not required to use any of our services and can be erased at any time.
+
+We will store your account data as long as your account remains open. After closing an account, we may retain some or all of your account data in the form of backups or archives for up to 90 days.
+
+## Who is my data shared with?
+
+When you use services provided by Privacy Guides your data is processed by our web hosting provider, Aragon Ventures LLC, in order to facilitate their hosting obligations. Aragon Ventures LLC may collect and use your data as described in their privacy statement at [https://aragon.ventures/privacy](https://aragon.ventures/privacy/).
+
+Your account data, posts, and other activities on Privacy Guides services is shared with others as mentioned in the section about account data.
+
+## Where is my data stored?
+
+The primary datacenter for Privacy Guides is located in Finland. Some websites, services, or backups may reside in datacenters in multiple jurisdictions, including the United States and the European Union.
+
+## Is Privacy Guides GDPR compliant?
+
+We respect privacy rights under [Regulation (EU) 2016/679](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=uriserv:OJ.L_.2016.119.01.0001.01.ENG), the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Information that GDPR requires us to give can be found throughout this document.
+
+## What are my data protection rights?
+
+We would like to make sure you are fully aware of all of your data protection rights. Every user is entitled to the following:
+
+* **The right to access** – You have the right to request access to your personal data or copies of your personal data from us. We may charge you a small fee for providing a copy of your data.

+* **The right to data portability** – You have the right to request that we transfer the data that we have collected to another organization or directly to you under certain conditions.
+
+## How can I contact the Privacy Guides team about privacy?
+
+The Privacy Guides team generally does not have access to personal data outside of limited access granted via some moderation panels. Inquiries regarding your personal information should be sent directly to the data controller for these services, Aragon Ventures LLC:
