Verification Endpoint API/Privacy Policy/en

Recap Time Squad is committed to preserving your privacy and being transparent about how we use information collected through Verification Endpoint API (the "Service") and any other applications, functionality, or services offered by Recap Time Squad (collectively with the Service, the "Services"). This Privacy Policy describes how Recap Time Squad uses, collects, and shares information collected through the Services. By using the Services, you agree to and accept the practices described in this Privacy Policy. For the general privacy policy for all Recap Time Squad websites and services, which include this Service, please see TODO.

We may modify this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post changes on this page, so be sure to check back regularly. Furthermore, we will also notify you by posting an announcement on the Landing Website and on official announcement channels, so you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, it is disclosed. Continuing to use our Services after any changes have been posted, constitutes your acceptance of any modifications to the Terms.

1. Information Collected by Recap Time Squad
As part of the Services, we may collect the following types of information from you when you use the Services ("User Information"):

1.1 Registration Information. In order to access certain portions of the Services, such as API access token generation and support services, you must complete a registration form (either in the form of an GitHub issue form, GitLab issue, or the index entry connection process (currently via Discord) for both new and existing entries). In this registration form, we collect certain personal information, such as your email address (only applies to index entry connection process) and username ("Slug"), and technical information about the account you used for registration process (timestamp of form submission and user ID). Since anybody can submit public information about anybody on our issue trackers, we usually gate keep these requests to ensure that contributions are accurate and no libelous or inaccurate information are provided. Please use discretion on what you choose to post on public facing portions of the Services, as it will be available to the public and may show up in search results of third-party engines.

1.2. Usernames. You will also be asked to create a username, which will be used to identify when you are using our APIs and to identify you on the index. Again, your username will be visible to the public, and may show up in search results of third-party search engines and in commit histories.

1.3 Social Account Association. We use the social accounts you associated with your index entry through the stage 2 verification process or through the regular linking process provided by official bots. The only information that will be publicly available to the APIs and monthly YAML dumps are your associated social account's username and user ID and a unique hash to generate a fingerprint of their public profile. Since this information will be published, please refrain from connecting your private accounts to your index entry.

1.4 Optional user information: As a registered user, you may choose to share more details publicly. You may provide your name, a personal website, share your email address, and other information to your index entry. Please use discretion on what you choose to post on public facing portions of the Services, as it will be available to the public and may show up in search results of third-party engines and in commit histories.

1.5 Usage Information. Recap Time Squad may collect certain usage data, such as your IP address, URL request, browser type, and the date and time of a request. Recap Time Squad may use cookies (as further described below) or other automated mechanisms to collect this information, and may collect this information on an aggregate or individual basis. We use this information for statistical purposes to help administer, manage and improve the Services, prevent abuse, analyze trends, and to tailor your user experience. In addition, Recap Time Squad may use anonymized usage statistics that may be derived from this information for marketing, research or reporting purposes. You can opt out of usage information collection, either through sending a Do Not Track or a Global Privacy Control  signal to the API endpoints or through settings on the bots.

2. Cookies
Cookies are small files that Recap Time Squad can send to your browser for storage on your computer. Cookies make using the Services easier by saving your status and preferences and refreshing them every time you use the Services. For instance, Recap Time Squad may use cookies to recognize you when you return to the Services so that you do not have to resubmit your log-in credentials. In order to clear this logon information, for example if using a public terminal, you should log out of your account. While many browsers allow you to change your settings in order to refuse cookies or to be alerted when cookies are being sent, Recap Time Squad recommends that you leave cookies enabled, as disabling cookies may prevent you from using and may interfere with some functionality of the Services.

Recap Time Squad uses cookies for solely gathering Usage Information for statistical purposes. This may be disabled by setting your browser to send a Do Not Track header. Use of this data is subject to the restrictions of Section TODO below.

No personally identifiable information will be disclosed to any third party, solely and directly by your use of cookies.

recap Time Squad retains individual Usage Information for 90 days, after which it is deleted.

4. Email Communications
We will send you only administrative emails about the status of your social accounts connected to your index entry and breaking changes in the API, and important notifications about changes to the Services. Even though you can opt out of these emails individually, you may choose to use other ways to contact you through the bot settings and even remove your email altogether from the system.
