Section 5: The information we collect

Section 5.1: The official Interstellar deployment

• Information that may be unintentionally collected as part of using Interstellar's official deployment may include basic information such as your IP address, web traffic when using Interstellar, etc. This information is temporary and is kept until the server is rebooted.
• We do not purposefully collect anyone's information. We try to limit the data collected by the official Interstellar deployment.
• We do not, will not, and will never knowingly collect the information of minors under the age of 13 (or the minimum age required by laws in your country).

Section 5.2: Unofficial Interstellar Deployments

• We can't give a definitive answer on what information is collected when you use a unofficial Interstellar deployment, only the operator of the Interstellar deployment you're using can.
• We urge operators to collect and store as minimal information as possible, but we can't control what they do.

Section 6: Control

• We do not have the power to control what unofficial Interstellar deployment operators do with their deployment.
• We protect information stored on the official Interstellar deployment by limiting access. The only person that has access to the server of which the official Interstellar deployment runs on is the server host and the owner of Interstellar, xbubbo.
• We cannot check every deployment for malicious code. If any data such as your account gets compromised after you access it on a unofficial Interstellar deployment, we will not be held liable.

Section 7: How we use basic information on the official Interstellar deployment that may be collected accidentally

• Your IP address is used to allow you to use the Interstellar service. This is how it works for every website you visit, not just Interstellar. The difference is whether or not this data is intentionally collected and stored.
• Info about your web traffic while using Interstellar is needed to allow you to access the service you wish to access.
• Interstellar will NEVER sell your info to third-parties, other than to some ad companies. We do this so we can make enough money to pay for our server.
• The official Interstellar server operator may respond to legal requests and assist law enforcement officials in legal investigations if ever needed. We can't guarantee we'll always have information to hand out as the information that may be collected is automatically destroyed on reboot, but if we do still have information relevent to the investigation, we may provide law enforcement officials with it. Please redirect all requests regarding data with an unofficial Interstellar deployment to its operator, as we don't have control over unofficial deployments and couldn't comply with requests even if we wanted to.

• As a thank you for supporting Interstellar, you get access to supporter features. This includes a server with an Interstellar deployment for supporters only. We cannot guarantee 100% uptime. We reserve the right to discontinue any supporter perks at any time.
