1. Our Commitment to Privacy and Trust
At Deep Thunking, our mission is to create a digital safe space where everyone belongs. Protecting your privacy and maintaining your trust is fundamental to this commitment. We strive for radical transparency in how we collect and use your information.
2. Information We Collect
Because we operate primarily as a community platform (Discord, blog, YouTube), the information we directly collect is minimal and mostly managed by the third-party platforms we use.
A. Information You Provide Directly
- Community Profiles (e.g., Discord, Blog Comments): When you join our Discord server or post comments on our blog, you provide a username, display name, and potentially an email address (for the blog). We do not collect your real name or personal contact information unless you choose to provide it for a specific reason (e.g., contacting an administrator).
- Correspondence: If you contact us directly (via email or direct message), we retain that correspondence to respond to your inquiries.
B. Information Collected Automatically (via Third Parties)
Our website (blog) and community platforms (Discord, YouTube) use cookies and analytics tools to understand how people use our services. This data is anonymized and helps us improve the experience.
- Usage Data: We collect general, non-identifying data like the pages you visit, the duration of your visit, and the general geographic location of traffic.
- IP Addresses: Third-party services (like web hosting or Discord) may log IP addresses, but we do not access or store this information for identification purposes.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the limited information we have solely for the following purposes:
- Community Functionality: To run and maintain the Discord server, blog, and other platforms.
- Communication: To respond to your questions or feedback.
- Improving the Experience: To analyze general usage trends and make the community and content better and more accessible.
- Safety and Moderation: To enforce our Community Code of Conduct and maintain a “jerk-free” environment.
4. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We only share information in the following limited circumstances:
- With Your Consent: If you explicitly give us permission to share a piece of information.
- Legal Requirements: If we are required to do so by law or in response to a valid legal process.
- Third-Party Platforms: Your information is managed by the privacy policies of the third-party platforms you choose to use (Discord, YouTube, etc.). We encourage you to review their policies.
5. Third-Party Links
Our website and communications contain links to third-party sites (like Discord or YouTube). Once you leave our platform, we are not responsible for the privacy practices of those other sites.
6. Your Rights
You always have the right to:
- Access: Request what information we have about you.
- Correction: Ask us to update or correct any inaccuracies.
- Deletion: Request that we delete any information we may hold (this typically involves deleting your account from our platforms).
7. Policy Updates
We may update this policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will post any changes on this page.
