Privacy Policy

This notice covers the Yamkage art community and its account, content, activity and creator features. Contact the Yamkage team using the address below for privacy questions or requests. External services have their own notices.

Account information includes your username, email, password hash, account identifiers and security records. Content includes profile details, artwork, tags, descriptions, comments, galleries, journals and messages you submit.

Activity records can include favorites, follows, viewing history, active site time, XP, Kage Coins, missions, leaderboard participation and preferences. File unlocks, offers, commission requests and connected Patreon verification also create service records.

Hosting and security systems can process request, session and technical information needed to operate and protect the service. Private messages are not public posts; a report can disclose relevant reported material to moderators.

Information supports requested accounts and features, content delivery, creator workflows, support and moderation. Depending on the activity, processing can be necessary for a requested service, legal obligations, legitimate operational and security interests, or consent where required.

Public artwork, profile information and public collections are visible through their respective features. Leaderboards show the username, rank and XP of members who opt in. Your email and private credentials are not leaderboard fields.

Patreon handles its own checkout and billing. Connecting an account uses the permissions and verification information needed for the relevant membership feature. Following an external payment or donation link takes you to that provider.

Hosting, email and infrastructure providers may process information needed to deliver the service. A provider may process data in another country; its notice and applicable transfer arrangements are relevant. Do not assume that an external site follows Yamkage settings.

Service records are retained while needed for the feature, support, security or applicable obligations. Different records have different purposes; this notice does not promise one deletion date for every record. Backups and necessary security or transaction records may require separate handling.

Browser preferences and cookies are described in Cookie Policy. Requested appearance and reading preferences can be cleared from Cookie Settings without removing your account, saved artwork or drafts.

Depending on applicable conditions, you can request access, correction, erasure, restriction, portability or object to processing. You can withdraw consent for consent-based processing without affecting earlier lawful processing. You can also complain to the competent data protection authority.

Contact the team to make a request. We may need proportionate information to verify that it concerns your account. Do not send sensitive identity documents in an initial message. Account settings provide additional controls for history, notifications, blocking and public participation.

Mature-content controls are intended for adults. Do not submit unlawful content or another person’s private information without an appropriate basis. This notice can be updated when features or processing change; review the date and current version.
