RootList Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

RootList ("we", "our", or "us") operates RootList.gg, a platform for discovering, listing, and promoting communities and bots associated with Root.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and what rights you have.

By using RootList, you acknowledge this policy.

2. Information We Collect

Depending on how you use RootList, we may collect:

• Account information, including your Root username, account ID, profile information, and authentication data.
• Listing information, including community or bot names, descriptions, images, links, and tags.
• Activity information, including votes, bumps, listing views, timestamps, and actions taken on the platform.
• Payment information, including transaction IDs, purchase history, subscription status, and billing information provided by our payment processor.
• Technical information, including IP addresses, browser type, device information, and security logs.
• Support communications, including messages and information you provide when contacting us.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to operate RootList, manage accounts and listings, process votes and bumps, provide premium features, process payments, prevent fraud, improve security, respond to support requests, and comply with legal obligations.

4. Payments

Payments may be processed by Stripe or other payment providers.

We may receive transaction details, payment status, subscription information, and limited billing information. We do not intend to store complete payment card numbers or card security codes on our own servers.

See the Stripe Privacy Policy.

5. Cookies and Advertising

RootList may use cookies and similar technologies for authentication, preferences, security, analytics, and advertising.

Third-party advertising providers, including Google AdSense if enabled, may use cookies or similar technologies according to their own policies and applicable law.

Where required, including in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, consent for advertising is collected through Google's consent message before personalised ads are shown. You can review or withdraw it at any time through the "Privacy and cookie settings" link at the bottom of every page.

6. Third-Party Services

RootList may use third-party services for hosting, authentication, analytics, advertising, payments, and security. These providers may process information as necessary to provide their services.

External websites linked through listings operate under their own terms and privacy policies.

7. How We Share Information

We may share information with service providers, payment processors, advertising or analytics providers where permitted, and authorities when legally required.

We may also share information when necessary to investigate fraud, protect users, enforce these Terms, or complete a business transfer.

Public listing information, usernames, and vote counts may be visible to other visitors.

We do not sell personal information to advertisers.

8. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to operate RootList, prevent abuse, resolve disputes, and meet legal obligations.

Certain transaction and accounting records may need to be retained after account deletion.

9. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on applicable law, including the GDPR, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of your personal information. You may also have the right to restrict or object to certain processing and withdraw consent where applicable.

To exercise these rights, contact rootlist7@gmail.com.

You may also lodge a complaint with your relevant data protection authority.

10. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or alteration. However, no online service can guarantee complete security.

11. Children's Privacy

Users must meet applicable minimum age requirements. Where parental or guardian consent is legally required, it must be obtained.

If we discover that we have collected personal information in violation of applicable age requirements, we will take appropriate steps to address it.

12. International Data Transfers

Our service providers may process information outside your country of residence. Where required, we will use appropriate safeguards for international transfers.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our services, practices, or legal obligations change. We will publish the updated version on RootList.gg and revise the date above.
