Image Keep is a privately operated image-hosting service intended primarily for members of participating roleplaying game communities. This Privacy Policy explains the basic information that may be collected or stored when you create an account and use the service.
Account Information
When you create or maintain an Image Keep account, the service may store information you provide, including your username, email address, profile information, and account preferences.
Your email address is used for account functions such as activation, password recovery, security notices, and other service-related communications. Image Keep does not sell user information to advertisers or use member email addresses for commercial marketing.
Uploaded Content
Image Keep stores the images, animations, and other permitted files that you choose to upload, along with information needed to organize and serve that content.
Although access to the Image Keep website and user accounts may be restricted, direct URLs to uploaded files can be publicly accessible. This is intentional and allows images to be embedded or displayed on roleplaying forums, Discord, and other websites or services.
You should therefore not upload material that you expect to remain completely private or confidential. Anyone who obtains a publicly accessible direct file URL may be able to view that file without signing into Image Keep.
Technical and Security Information
Like most websites, Image Keep and its hosting infrastructure may automatically process technical information necessary to operate and protect the service. This may include information such as IP addresses, browser or device information, request information, timestamps, and security or error logs.
This information may be used to maintain the service, diagnose technical problems, prevent abuse, enforce upload and flood-protection limits, investigate security incidents, and protect Image Keep and its users.
Cookies and Sessions
Image Keep may use cookies or similar browser storage as necessary for account login, authentication, security, user preferences, and other essential website functions.
Image Keep does not intentionally use this information to build advertising profiles or sell information about members to advertisers.
Third-Party Services
Image Keep relies on service providers and software necessary to operate the website, including web hosting, email delivery, and the Chevereto image-hosting software. These services may process limited information as necessary to provide their respective functions.
Image Keep may add, remove, or change service providers when reasonably necessary for security, reliability, maintenance, or operation of the service.
Sharing of Information
Image Keep does not sell or rent member personal information.
Information may be disclosed when reasonably necessary to operate or secure the service, comply with a valid legal obligation, investigate abuse or prohibited activity, protect the rights or safety of users or others, or enforce the Image Keep Terms of Service.
Data Retention and Account Removal
Account information and uploaded content may be retained while an account remains active or as necessary to operate the service.
Users may delete content using the account tools made available by Image Keep. Members who need assistance with account removal or other account-related privacy matters should contact the administrator through the normal communication channels of their participating roleplaying community.
Some technical, backup, security, or administrative records may remain for a reasonable period after content or an account is removed when necessary for normal system operation, security, or legal obligations.
Age Requirement
Image Keep accounts are restricted to users who are at least 18 years of age. Image Keep is not intended to provide accounts to children or minors.
Protecting Your Privacy
Users should avoid uploading images containing sensitive personal information, private documents, precise location information, or other material they would not want accessible through a direct file link.
Users are also responsible for protecting their account credentials and should use a strong, unique password for Image Keep.
Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated as Image Keep grows, its technical services change, or new privacy and security requirements arise. Material changes will be communicated to members when reasonably appropriate.
Privacy Questions
Image Keep does not operate a general public support or contact system. Eligible members with privacy questions or concerns should contact the administrator through the normal communication channels of their participating roleplaying community.
