## 1. Information We Collect
Added: **Account information.** When you sign in with Discord, we receive your Discord user ID, username, and avatar from Discord, and you choose a display name.
Added:
Added: **Email and password (optional).** If you add email sign-in, we store your email address and a securely hashed password (we never store or see your actual password). When you set a password, we check it against a public list of passwords known from data breaches; only a short, anonymous fragment of its hash is sent for that check, never the password itself.
Added:
Added: **Gameplay data.** Your farm, inventory, currency balances, levels, quest progress, neighbors, badges, care packages, and a record of Farm Cash rewards (what you earned and where it came from).
Added:
Added: **Discord bot activity.** When you use our bot's commands or buttons, we receive your Discord user ID and what you clicked or typed in the bot's forms, so we can run the game and give you rewards.
Added:
Added: **Content you provide.** Forum posts, wiki edits, chat and direct messages, profile details, and messages you send through our contact form (including the name and email you give us there).
Removed: **Account information.** When you sign in with Discord, we receive your Discord user ID, username, and avatar image from Discord, and you choose a display name. If an account was created with an email address, we store that email address and a hashed (never plain-text) password.
Added: **Technical data.** Your IP address, browser user agent, and session identifiers are stored with your login session, mainly for security and abuse prevention. Server and error logs may include request details and your account ID.
Removed: **Gameplay data.** Your farm, inventory, currency balances, level/XP, quest progress, neighbors, and similar in-game state.
Added: **Admin action logs.** We keep an internal log of moderation and administrative actions (such as bans or currency corrections) for accountability.
Removed: **Content you provide.** Forum posts, wiki edits, chat and direct messages, and profile details such as social links and your chosen site theme.
Added: We do not collect payment information, because the Service never takes payments.
Removed: **Technical and usage data.** Your IP address, browser user agent, and session identifiers are stored with your login session, primarily for security, abuse prevention, and to keep you signed in. We also keep server logs and performance monitoring data (for example, error logs and slow-request reports) that may incidentally include request metadata and your account ID.
Added: ## 2. Cookies
Removed: **Admin action logs.** For accountability, we keep an internal log of moderation and administrative actions (such as bans or currency corrections) taken on accounts by our staff.
Added: We only use cookies that the Service needs to work: a session cookie that keeps you signed in, a security cookie that protects forms (CSRF), and, if you choose "Remember me," a cookie that keeps you signed in longer. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies, and we do not use third-party analytics.
Removed: We do not collect financial or payment information, because the Service does not process any payments (see Terms of Service, Section 2).

This Privacy Policy explains what information L.O.S Farms ("we," "us") collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to the L.O.S Farms website, game, desktop launcher, and Discord bot (together, the "Service"), and is part of our Terms of Service.

1. Information We Collect

Account information. When you sign in with Discord, we receive your Discord user ID, username, and avatar from Discord, and you choose a display name.

Email and password (optional). If you add email sign-in, we store your email address and a securely hashed password (we never store or see your actual password). When you set a password, we check it against a public list of passwords known from data breaches; only a short, anonymous fragment of its hash is sent for that check, never the password itself.

Gameplay data. Your farm, inventory, currency balances, levels, quest progress, neighbors, badges, care packages, and a record of Farm Cash rewards (what you earned and where it came from).

Discord bot activity. When you use our bot's commands or buttons, we receive your Discord user ID and what you clicked or typed in the bot's forms, so we can run the game and give you rewards.

Content you provide. Forum posts, wiki edits, chat and direct messages, profile details, and messages you send through our contact form (including the name and email you give us there).

Technical data. Your IP address, browser user agent, and session identifiers are stored with your login session, mainly for security and abuse prevention. Server and error logs may include request details and your account ID.

Admin action logs. We keep an internal log of moderation and administrative actions (such as bans or currency corrections) for accountability.

We do not collect payment information, because the Service never takes payments.
