## Data We Collect From Visitors
The privacy of our website visitors is important to us, so we do not track any individual people. As a visitor to our website:
You can view the data we collect on our [statistics](statistics.md) page.
We run a self-hosted installation of [Plausible Analytics](https://plausible.io) to collect some anonymous usage data for statistical purposes. The goal is to track overall trends in our website traffic, it is not to track individual visitors. All the data is in aggregate only. No personal data is collected.
Data collected includes referral sources, top pages, visit duration, information from the devices (device type, operating system, country and browser) used during the visit and more. You can learn more about how Plausible works and collects information in a privacy-respecting manner [here](https://plausible.io/data-policy).
## Data We Collect From Account Holders
On some websites and services we provide, many features may require an account. For example, an account may be required to post and reply to topics on a forum platform.
To sign up for most accounts, we will collect a name, username, email, and password. In the event a website requires more information than just that data, that will be clearly marked and noted in a separate privacy statement per-site.
We use your account data to identify you on the website and to create pages specific to you, such as your profile page. We will also use your account data to publish a public profile for you on our services.
- Notify you about posts and other activity on the websites or services.
- Reset your password and help keep your account secure.
- Contact you in special circumstances related to your account.
- Contact you about legal requests, such as DMCA takedown requests.
On some websites and services you may provide additional information for your account, such as a short biography, avatar, your location, or your birthday. We make that information available to everyone who can access the website or service in question. This information is not required to use any of our services and can be erased at any time.
We will store your account data as long as your account remains open. After closing an account, we may retain some or all of your account data in the form of backups or archives for up to 90 days.
The Privacy Guides team generally does not have access to personal data outside of limited access granted via some moderation panels. Inquiries regarding your personal information should be sent directly to:

Para queixas no âmbito da GDPR em geral, você pode apresentar queixas às suas autoridades supervisoras locais de proteção de dados. Na França, é a Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés que cuida e lida com as queixas. Eles fornecem um [modelo de carta de reclamação](https://www.cnil.fr/en/plaintes) para usar.
We will post any new versions of this statement [here](privacy-policy.md). We may change how we announce changes in future versions of this document.
