Privacy policy

pls.pet is a web application provided by Ruby Lazuli Lord, an individual citizen of the United States of America. This privacy policy will explain how your personal data is used by this website.

Data collected

pls.pet collects no data from users who do not have an account. If you do have an account, this website collects the following data:

• Your username
• Authentication information, such as a password hash
• Your time zone
• Which files you have uploaded, and the data and metadata (titles, descriptions, tags) associated with them
• Any information you provide in your profile

Data collection methods

Registered users directly provide pls.pet with all of the data it collects. It collects and processes data when you:

• Register for an account
• Log into an account
• Navigate through the website while logged in
• Upload a file
• View someone's profile page

How will we use your data?

• Restrict certain functions to authorized users (such as uploading and managing files)
• Prevent session hijacking
• Display information about the uploader of each file
• Show information on each user's profile page, including their username, uploaded files, and any information they wish to share

Data storage

Passwords are not stored directly. Instead, secure, theoretically irreversible hashes are used to protect your login information in the event of a database breach.

The remainder of your data is not encrypted. Most of this is publicly accessible, such as your username and profile description, though this also includes uploaded files which have had their visibility set to "private" and your time zone.

Data retention

pls.pet will keep most the aforementioned personal data perpetually until you either modify the data or delete your account. Session tokens may also be removed after they are used. Uploaded files and their associated metadata may be deleted by their uploaders at any time.

Account deletion through the web interface is not currently implemented, so you will have to write to the email listed in "How to contact us" section to request for your data to be deleted.

By default, deleting your account will not delete your uploaded files, but you can choose to do so if you wish. Note that you will not be able to delete your uploaded files after deleting your account, as neither the website nor its administrator(s) will be able to determine if they were truly uploaded by you.

What are your data protection rights?

This website's administrator(s) would like to make sure you are fully aware of all of your data protection rights. While these are based on the rights conferred to citizens of the European Union by the General Data Protection Regulation, every user is entitled to the following:
