This privacy policy explains how kyo3xrex ("we", "our", "us") collects, utilizes, and protects information when you browse our discussion boards or maintain an authenticated membership.

1. What Information We Collect

We collect minimal information necessary to deliver forum operations:

• Account Details: Your designated username, hashed credentials, and optional contact email. Passwords are cryptographically salted and hashed using Argon2id with high memory-cost parameters.
• Content: Forum posts, thread submissions, configuration attachments, and public shoutbox entries created by your account.
• Network Telemetry: Standard web server connection timestamps for rate-limiting and DDoS mitigation. Connection logs are automatically rotated and purged every 7 days.

2. Cookies & Local Storage

We use strictly functional cookies and HTML5 local storage:

• kyo_session: Retains your authenticated session state and authorization tokens.
• xf_csrf: Protects against cross-site request forgery attacks.
• kyo_theme: Remembers client dark mode and UI display preferences.

No third-party analytics pixels, tracking beacons, or advertisement networks are embedded in any page of kyo3xrex.

3. Data Protection & Retention

All communication between your client and our nodes is encrypted via TLS 1.3 with forward secrecy (X25519) and HTTP/3 QUIC transport. Database backups are AES-256 encrypted at rest.

4. Your Rights: Account & Data Erasure

You have the right to request a full archive of your submitted threads or demand complete account erasure. Upon an authorized erasure request, your username will be anonymized, personal identifiers scrubbed, and private communication purged.
