You don't need an account to browse, search or use the 3D viewer. When you do, we collect:
- server logs: your IP address, browser and device type (the user agent), the page or request and when. Our hosting and logging providers keep these so we can fix problems and stop abuse. We don't log your cookies or sign-in tokens
- your IP address for up to an hour, to limit how fast one connection can make requests
- a random ID kept in your browser and sent with each request to our servers, so we can find the logs for a problem you tell us about. It isn't linked to anything else unless you sign in or send it to us
- what you search for. Text searches are cached for a few minutes. Pictures you search with are processed in memory and thrown away, never stored
- visit statistics from Google Analytics, if you agree to them (see cookies)
Pictures and videos you export from the 3D viewer are made in your browser, and a pose link carries the pose in the link itself, so neither is sent to us.
Signing in asks Discord to share your account's basic details with us: your identity and your email address. We don't ask Discord for permission to add you to servers; you join the Discord server yourself, through the invite link. We get and keep:
- your Discord ID, username and display name
- your avatar, banner and banner colour
- the email address on your Discord account. We don't email you or use it for anything else
- sign-in tokens from Discord, kept encrypted, so you stay signed in
We refresh these details when you sign in and about once a week while you use skowt.cc, so a new avatar or name shows up. We never see your messages, your friends or the list of servers you're in.
Each time you download, we check with Discord whether you're a member of the Antifield Discord server; the answer is kept for five minutes. For every signed-in session we keep the IP address and browser it started from for seven days, to keep your account secure.
- files you save, requests you vote on, comments you post and upvote, and requests you open
- your settings, like theme and whether to show suggestive content
- your download history: which files you downloaded and when. We keep your last 50 downloads for up to 90 days, so you can find them again on the Downloads page
- reports you send, including the email address you give for a reply, and feedback you send, with your account attached only if you leave that box ticked
We keep the file, its name, game, category and tags, and that you uploaded it, even if you choose to upload anonymously. If you upload, we also keep a record of the roles you've had and who changed them, and any credit line and social links you ask us to show on credits.
When you upload an image, we strip hidden metadata like camera details or the location a photo was taken, so it isn't published with the file.
- on files you upload: your display name, avatar and role. A file can credit more than one person, and if we later swap your upload for the game's own copy of it, you stay credited first. Anonymous uploads show as Anonymous to everyone except Staff and the developer
- on your uploader card: your banner, when you joined, how many of your files are live, and any social links you've given us
- on requests and comments: your display name and your Discord username
- in the Discord server's new-files feed: the Discord username of whoever uploaded and approved a file
- on credits, if you're an uploader: your name, avatar, role, credit line and social links
Your email, sessions, download history, saves, reports and feedback are never shown to anyone.
