The Free Pascal servers are located in the EU, and so are most of the core
contributors to Free Pascal. This means we are subject to the stipulations
of the <a href="https://gdpr-info.eu/">GDPR</a> (General Data Protection Regulation), which requires us to
inform you about our privacy policy, and about which data we collect about you.

<h2>What data do we collect about you?</h2>

<p>
The only personal data we collect and store are:
<ul>
<li> a name (which can be a nickname for this specific use)</li>

</ul>
<p>
This information is stored in the respective databases that underly these
information systems.  This information is kept for an indeterminate period of
time, as they are needed for the functioning of these communication systems.
</p>
<p>
The web server's log files of these systems contain the IP address from all
requests. Occasionally they also contain a name or email address.
The log files are deleted after 2 days, unless we need to
analyse some problem with the server. In such cases the relevant log file
may be kept longer, but will be deleted after being used.
</p>
<p>
The collected data is not communicated or sold to other parties in any way,
other than what is accessible publicly through the public user interface.
</p>
<p>
You are free to use an alias and a special email address that cannot be
linked to any other personal information. We will be none the wiser.
</p>
<p>
Note that because some information is displayed publicly, it can be therefore
be downloaded to other servers beyond our control (such as mailing list
archives).
