Privacy Policy

iBBS 無限星空 (the "Platform") values your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal data, in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Act of the Republic of China and related regulations.

1. Scope

This policy applies to personal data the Platform collects when you register, create a site, or browse the Platform's website. It does not apply to data you provide within forum sites you create yourself — please refer to each site's own privacy policy for that.

2. Types of Personal Data We Collect

Registration information: email address, account password (stored as an irreversible hash), and display name.
Site information: the domain, site name, and forum module settings you apply for.
Technical information: connection IP address, browser type, operating system, access time, and cookie identifiers.
Communication records: email verification messages and correspondence related to support or reports.

3. Purpose and Use of Collected Data

Performing member authentication and account management.
Providing site setup, deployment, and ongoing operational services.
Preventing fraud, abuse of system resources, or other violations of the Terms of Service.
Complying with legal obligations, or responding to lawful requests from competent or judicial authorities.
System operation, troubleshooting, and statistical analysis (aggregated results that do not identify individuals).
Sending service-related notices, such as email verification, password resets, or important service announcements.

4. Data Storage and Protection

Your account password is stored using one-way hashing; the Platform cannot recover or view your original password. We take reasonable technical and administrative measures (such as access controls and encryption in transit) to protect your personal data. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and the Platform will handle and notify affected users in accordance with applicable law if it becomes aware of a data breach.

5. Sharing with Third Parties

In principle, the Platform does not sell, rent, or provide your personal data to third parties. We may provide it, to the extent necessary, only in the following situations:

As required by law, or by lawful request from judicial or competent authorities.
To outsourced vendors necessary to provide the service, such as hosting, cloud, or email delivery providers, who are required to maintain confidentiality.
With your prior consent.

6. Use of Cookies

The Platform uses cookies to maintain your login state, remember preferences such as your language setting, and improve your experience. For details, see our Cookie Policy.

7. Data Retention

Your personal data is retained for as long as your account remains active. After your account is suspended or you request deletion, the Platform will delete or anonymize the relevant data once any necessary legal compliance procedures (such as dispute handling or statutory retention periods) have been completed.

8. Your Rights

Under applicable personal data protection law, you may request that the Platform allow you to query, review, obtain a copy of, supplement or correct, stop collecting or processing, or delete your personal data. To exercise these rights, please contact us at the email address below; we will respond within a reasonable period.

9. Use by Minors

Minors under the age of seven must have a legal representative register and agree to this policy on their behalf. Minors aged seven to under twenty must obtain the consent of a legal representative before using this service.

10. Changes to This Policy

The Platform may revise this policy in response to legal changes or service adjustments. Revisions will be posted on this page along with an updated "Last updated" date; please check back periodically for the latest version.
