2. Information We Collect

a) Contact Forms

When you submit a message through our contact form, we collect the information you provide (such as your name, email address, and message) so we can respond to you.

b) Comments

If comments are enabled on certain posts, we collect the data shown in the comment form, your IP address, and browser user agent string to help detect spam.

c) Media

If you upload or share images with us (e.g., fan art via email), please avoid embedding location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors could extract this data.
