What types of information does Valkae collect about me, and how do we use the information?
We collect and use information about you to help improve the site, help improve your experience on the site, and to help others get that same experience. Here are the different ways we obtain information about you, and the types of information we obtain, and how that information is used:

Accessing the Website
Everytime you access the website, we have access to only one standard form of information about you; your IP address. The reason that we receive and store this information is to understand the location in the world that traffic is coming from, and to tell how many different people are accessing the site (not from the same computer network). This information is stored and is only accessible by Valkae and is not shared to or with anyone.

Submitting Artwork
When submitting artwork, you are asked to fill out your email address which is the only information we keep during this time. When you submit your form, that email is kept and stored, with records of artwork that you have submitted under that email address. This information is kept in case we ever need to contact you about the specific artwork you have ever uploaded, or certain changes or updates about future "artwork submission" rules/regulations. Your email address is only stored to be accessible by Valkaeand is never given out.

Discussion
In our discussion page, the only information shared and sent to us is your IP address. The reason that we receive and store this information is to understand the location in the world that traffic is discussing and posting from. We also receive this information to store for future postings/discussions by that IP address, in cases of banning users for rule violations. This information is stored and is only accessible by Valkae and is not shared to or with anyone.

Twitter
Valkae does not personally have any ownership with Twitter, or any of it's related services and does not have access to any information you have stored when Following @valkae. The only information that we have access to is public information that is stored on your public profile for anyone else to see. If you would like to read Twitter's Privacy Policy, you can do so here.

PayPal™

When you donate an amount of money from your PayPal account, we have access to your information that you have shared via you own personal preferences on your PayPal account. We don't have access to your actual PayPal account, your bank account, credit card information, or anything that is connected to PayPal's own privacy policy. We only have the access to what you share yourself, and that information is seen, but is not stored. If you would like to read PayPal's Privacy Policy, you can do so here.
