Privacy policy

Last updated: 9 November 2026

The Eternal Senate is a non-commercial gaming community. This website is run by volunteers from the community. Questions about your data: [email protected].

What we store

• Your account: username, password (stored only as an Argon2 hash, which we cannot read back), your rank, when you joined and which invite code you used.
• What you post: topics and replies.

We never ask for your email address, real name, location or payment details. Please don't post personal details about yourself or anyone else.

What we don't do

No analytics, no ads, no tracking pixels, no third-party scripts or fonts. Our server keeps no access logs. To stop password guessing we count failed login and sign-up attempts per IP address; that counter disappears after at most one hour.

Root and Praeco

Praeco is our bot on the Root chat app. If you link your Root account on your Account page, we store your Root user ID and nickname, whether you are online on Root right now, and use your Root roles to set your rank. Praeco reads our Root server's role list and member list (IDs, nicknames, roles) to do this; for members who haven't linked an account, nothing is stored. When you type /login in Root, Praeco passes the code and your Root ID to the website to sign you in. Unlink your Root account on your Account page at any time. Praeco itself runs on Root's servers; see Root's privacy policy.

Cloudflare

All traffic passes through Cloudflare, Inc., which protects the site and provides HTTPS. Cloudflare processes your IP address and request data on our behalf. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.

Why we may process it (GDPR)

• Your account and posts, and a Root account you choose to link: to provide the members' forum you signed up for (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).
• Security counters: our legitimate interest in keeping accounts safe (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

How long we keep it

Until you delete your account. You can do that yourself on your Account page, with the option to delete everything you posted too. Backups are kept for 14 days, then overwritten.

Your rights

You can ask for a copy of your data, a correction, deletion, restriction, or object to processing by emailing us. You can also complain to the data protection authority in your country.

Visitors from the US

We don't sell or share personal information, and we don't track you, so "Do Not Track" and Global Privacy Control signals change nothing here. US state privacy rights (such as California's) are covered by the rights listed above: ask us for a copy, a correction or deletion at any time.
