Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 25, 2025

PixLounge respects your privacy and collects only the minimum data required to operate the site. This page explains what information we collect, how it’s used, and your rights under applicable law (including GDPR).

1. What We Collect

• Account data: If you sign in with Google or Discord, we store:
  • An internal account ID
  • Your chosen username
  • Your birthdate (to enforce 18+ access for NSFW content)
• Cookies: We use a single session cookie to keep you logged in. We do not use analytics, tracking, or advertising cookies.
• Technical data: Your IP address and browser information may be temporarily logged for security and abuse prevention.
• Interactions: Comments, suggestions, and forum posts you make are stored so they can appear on the site.

2. How We Use This Information

• To operate and maintain your account
• To provide age-gated access to content
• To protect the site from abuse or security threats
• To respond to suggestions or reports

3. Data Sharing

We do not sell or share personal data with advertisers or third parties for marketing. Hosting and infrastructure providers may process data only as needed to operate the platform securely.

4. Cookies

We use one essential session cookie to manage your login. No tracking or analytics cookies are used. You can disable cookies in your browser, but this will prevent login from working.

5. Your Rights (GDPR)

If you are located in the EU/EEA, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction or deletion of your data
• Withdraw consent and delete your account at any time

To make a request, contact us at [email protected].

6. Data Retention

Account and interaction data are retained while your account is active. If you delete your account or request deletion, we remove all personal data except where retention is required by law (for example, abuse prevention logs).

7. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data. However, no online system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection against all threats.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy in the future. Any changes will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
