4. Background & Legal Context

This section offers additional context to help users understand the reasoning behind our policies.

4.1 Why These Clauses Matter

Clear terms reduce misunderstandings, set expectations, and protect both you and us. Privacy compliance (especially under GDPR) builds trust and legal legitimacy.

4.2 GDPR, Controllers & Processors in Hosting

In many hosting setups, the host acts as a data processor and the site owner as the controller. However, for our operations (accounting, user authentication, billing), we also act as a controller for the data we collect. We still provide protections and transparency as required by law.

4.3 Intermediary Liability in the EU

Under the EU e-Commerce Directive, hosting providers may benefit from “safe harbor” protections if they promptly remove content upon notice and do not have actual knowledge of illegal content. Nevertheless, we reserve the right to act proactively if we detect violations of our policies.

5. Contact & Enforcement

For any requests, inquiries, or legal notices (e.g. data requests, takedown notices), please contact us via our Discord server (or email, as provided here). When submitting a request, include:

  • Your name or account identifier
  • A clear description of the request (e.g. “delete my data,” “export my account”)
  • Any supporting documents or context

We aim to respond promptly, in compliance with applicable laws and our policy obligations.
