+
+### Your Privacy
+
+Your privacy is very important to us, and we will ensure protecting your privacy when using our services.

+
+- **Account Information**: We collect data from our users when they register for an account on Revolt, such as: the registered e-mail address, hashed password, and chosen username.
+- **Servers and Groups**: If you create or join a group/server on Revolt, we collect and store the names of the group/server to provide the service.
+- **Self-hosted instances**: Since self-hosted instances aren't operated by us, we cannot enforce our own Privacy Policy, Acceptable Usage Policy or Terms of Service there. Please visit self-hosted instances at your own discretion.
+
+Furthermore, we may collect analytical data through [Plausible](https://plausible.io/) and [Sentry](https://sentry.io/welcome/) for statistical and error reporting purposes, which is, but not limited to:

+
+In order to protect our service from potential attacks and spam, we utilise the hCaptcha anti-bot service, read the [footnote](#hCaptcha) for more information on what and when data is collected. We chose hCaptcha as it actively works to protect our users' data.
+
+### Who is this information shared with?
+
+We will NEVER sell your data to any third-parties, although we use certain service providers to process your data, such as:
+
+- [Scaleway](https://www.scaleway.com/en/), provides us with cloud servers used to host our voice channels. Voice information is processed on their cloud servers but no actual personal information or data is shared with Scaleway.
+- [hCaptcha](https://hcaptcha.com), provides us with the tools necessary to stop abuse of our platform. [See footnote.](#hCaptcha)

+
+We follow [The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”)](https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/rules/rulemaking-regulatory-reform-proceedings/childrens-online-privacy-protection-rule), which requires online service providers to obtain parental consent before they knowingly collect personally identifiable information online from children who are under 13 years of age. This applies to every user of our platform, regardless of different consent laws in different countries. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personally identifiable information from children under 13 years of age. If we learn we have collected personal information from a child under 13 years of age, we will immediately delete that information from our servers. If you are a parent or guardian of a child under the age of 13 and believe he or she has disclosed personal information to us please contact us at [contact@revolt.chat](mailto:contact@revolt.chat)

+
+### hCaptcha
+
+> This section has been adapted from hCaptcha's documentation.
+
+We use the hCaptcha anti-bot service (hereinafter "hCaptcha") on our website. This service is provided by Intuition Machines, Inc., a Delaware US Corporation ("IMI"). hCaptcha is used to check whether the data entered on our website (such as on a login page or contact form) has been entered by a human or by an automated program. To do this, hCaptcha analyzes the behavior of the website or mobile app visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the website or mobile app visitor enters a part of the website or app with hCaptcha enabled.
+
+When using the [Revolt App](https://app.revolt.chat), hCaptcha will only begin analysis when you:
+
+- Submit a login request.
+- Submit a registration request.
+- Submit a password reset / email resend request.
+
+For the analysis, hCaptcha evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, how long the visitor has been on the website or app, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis will be forwarded to IMI.
+
+Data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (DSGVO): the website or mobile app operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its site from abusive automated crawling and spam. IMI acts as a "data processor" acting on behalf of its customers as defined under the GDPR, and a "service provider" for the purposes of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). For more information about hCaptcha and IMI's privacy policy and terms of use, please visit the following links: [https://hcaptcha.com/privacy/](https://hcaptcha.com/privacy/) and [https://hcaptcha.com/terms](https://hcaptcha.com/terms).
