Data Storage and Processing (WordPress-Based)
– Server and database storage: ScriptIrc is built on WordPress. Your data, including chat records, account information, API keys, and configuration settings, are stored on servers and in databases we manage. Chat logs are not stored locally in your browser.
– Backups: We create regular backups of server data to ensure recoverability. Backups may contain user data and are protected by the same security measures.
– Storage locations and cross-border transfers: Our hosting infrastructure and service providers may store or process data in different countries or regions. Data transfers across borders will be handled in accordance with applicable laws.
– No local-only storage: Unlike client-only apps, user chat content and related data are recorded and maintained on our servers.

Data Security
– Transport security: We use HTTPS/TLS to encrypt data in transit between your device and our servers.
– Storage security: We implement access controls, encryption where applicable, secure credentials management, and routine security maintenance on our servers and databases.
– Access controls and internal policies: Only authorized personnel who need access to perform their job duties may access user data. Staff and contractors are subject to confidentiality obligations.
– Breach response: If a security incident occurs, we will take reasonable steps to contain and remediate the issue and will notify affected users and regulators as required by law.

Cookies and Similar Technologies
– Usage: We and third-party services we use (for analytics, monitoring, or functionality) may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies for session management, authentication, preferences, and analytics.
– Choices: You can manage or block cookies via your browser settings, but blocking cookies may affect your ability to use certain features.

Third-Party Services and WordPress Plugins
– Plugins and integrations: Because ScriptIrc is built on WordPress, we may use third-party plugins, services, and integrations (for analytics, error tracking, hosting, payment processing, etc.).
– Third-party policies: These third parties have their own privacy practices and policies. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties operating within their own services.

Data Retention and Deletion
– Retention period: We retain your personal data for as long as necessary to provide the service, fulfill the purposes described in this policy, resolve disputes, comply with legal obligations, and enforce agreements.
– Account deletion: You may request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting support@ScriptIrc or via account settings where available. We will process deletion requests within a reasonable timeframe. Certain data may be retained in backups or logs for a limited period as required for legal or operational reasons.
– Backups and logs: Deleted data may persist in backups or system logs until those backups are rotated or destroyed in accordance with our retention practices.

User Rights and Controls
– Access and correction: You may access and correct personal information we hold about you where applicable.
– Consent withdrawal and processing restrictions: Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent and request restriction of processing in accordance with applicable law.
– Complaints: If you have concerns about our data practices, contact support@ScriptIrc. You may also lodge a complaint with a relevant data protection authority.

Children’s Privacy
– Age limitations: Our services are not intended for children under 13 (or a higher age if required by local law). If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under the applicable age without verifiable parental consent, we will take steps to remove that data.

Third-Party Links and Content
– Linked content: Our service may contain links to third-party websites or content. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. Please review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

Policy Changes
– Updates: We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Significant changes will be posted to the site and, where appropriate, communicated to users. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
