1. Introduction & Overview
Welcome to THE RPG HARBOR ("we", "our", or "us"), located at therpgharbor.com. We are deeply committed to protecting your personal data, respecting your privacy, and providing transparency regarding how your information is collected, processed, and safeguarded when using our gaming encyclopedia, news hub, community forum, and database services.
2. Information We Collect
We only collect information necessary to deliver high-quality gaming content, provide interactive database features, maintain forum accounts, and protect our platform from security threats:
Account Information: When registering an account, we collect your chosen username/screen name, email address, password (securely hashed via Argon2id / Bcrypt), and optional profile details (avatar, biography, country, preferred gaming platforms, Discord username).
Community & User Submissions: Content you voluntarily publish, including forum threads, replies, comments on news/reviews, game ratings, votes in community polls, and reaction likes.
Technical & Device Data: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, approximate geographic location, referral URLs, and access timestamps for diagnostic and security auditing purposes.
Security & Abuse Prevention: Failed login attempts, lockout logs, and Cloudflare Turnstile token validation to prevent automated bot attacks and credential stuffing.
3. How We Use Your Information
Your data is used strictly for legitimate operational purposes:
To operate, customize, and improve the Turn Based HQ encyclopedia and community features.
To manage your member profile, compute tactical advancement ranks, and award platform badges.
To provide authentication, account recovery, and notify you of direct replies or mentions (if enabled).
To moderate discussions, uphold our Terms of Service, and protect members against spam, toxicity, and unauthorized intrusions.
4. Cookies & Local Storage
We use essential cookies and browser storage solely to remember your login session, security tokens (CSRF protection), and UI preferences (such as light/dark mode and collapsed sections). We do not sell your personal information or utilize invasive cross-site advertising trackers.
5. Data Retention & Account Deletion
We retain your personal data for as long as your account remains active. You possess the right at any time to request a complete export of your data or initiate account deletion through your User Settings or by contacting our administrative team. Upon deletion, your identifying personal information is permanently purged from our active databases.
6. Security Measures
We implement industry-standard security safeguards, including HTTPS SSL encryption, rate limiting on authentication routes, salted password hashing, and continuous threat monitoring. However, no internet transmission is 100% invulnerable; we urge you to use a unique, strong password for your Turn Based HQ account.
7. Third-Party Integrations
Our platform may display embedded media (such as YouTube gameplay trailers or Gifyu screenshot galleries) and provide links to external storefronts (e.g. Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store). When interacting with external embeds or links, their respective privacy policies apply.
