Personal information
Your personal information, such as first and last names, birth dates, or gender identity, are made private or public depending on specific settings, and are associated with your WarpLight Account once the information has been entered correctly and saved. Some features may use your personal information to run verification checks, such as to verify that you are eligible to use certain features. Your personal information, along with other information associated with your WarpLight Account is never shared with third-parties without prior approval by you. Other WarpLight platforms and services may access information associated with your WarpLight Account to allow proper operation and continuity. Additionally, any personal information discovered by members within the WarpLight developer network are forbidden from disclosing any personal information with third-parities, as mandatory non-disclosure agreements are required. Please refer to the non-disclosure notice at the end of this document for more information.
When connecting your WarpLight Account to your Patreon account, WarpLight platforms and services can currently only read your subscription status within Patreon in relation to WarpLight, for the enablement of WarpLight Quantum. Our systems can only view your subscription status, payment status in regards to any ongoing subscriptions, and subscription event dates, such as when you were last charged for your subscription, as well as when subscriptions begin. Select persons within the WarpLight developer network that manage our official Patreon accounts may be exposed to additional information that may classified as personal information, which is also protected by mandatory non-disclosure agreements. Please refer to the non-disclosure notice at the end of this document for more information.
System information
Your system information, such as the device operating system, browser engine, browser version, and public IP address, are associated with your WarpLight Account. This information is not visible to other users on the Atmos platform. Storing this information allows you, and WarpLight, to determine when your WarpLight Account may be compromised, and enables the functionality of WarpLight Account audit logs, which stores system information during each significant change to your Atmos profile. This system information also enables the ability to include a general location of where WarpLight Account activity occurs.
Emails
Your email address is used for a several functions throughout Atmos and WarpLight services. With it, you will need to enter it during the registration process when making your WarpLight Account with us. Afterwards, it is used again when you wish to sign-in to WarpLight platforms and services. Your email address is never shared with third-parties without prior approval by you. The email address that is associated with your WarpLight Account may receive communications relating to (but not limited to) major platform updates, changes to your WarpLight Account, or communications between you and us. When contacting us, the email address you send the email from will only be seen by appropriate recipients within the WarpLight network. It does not have to be the same email address as a registered WarpLight Account that you own, but the registered email address may be requested in some cases, such as for the use of restoring access to a restricted WarpLight Account. Your email address and / or other WarpLight Account identifiers may be summoned through third-parties, such as payment processors or donation platforms. This allows us to activate WarpLight Quantum features for WarpLight Accounts with matching WarpLight Account identifiers.
Cookies
When visiting any of our services for the first time, you may encounter a message notifying you about cookie usage on your device. This cookie records information for functional purposes only. If you deny the cookies, you may need to sign in more frequently, and some configurable settings might not apply.

Post privacy
Your posts belong to you and are visible to only those you choose. Posts that are designated as “private” in any capacity remain visible to moderators, even if it is not shared with them. This is only to help enforce the Atmos Platform Guidelines, and moderators are prohibited from sharing any information discovered while performing those tasks outside of the moderation network or with other users. Moderators also have the ability to view content that has been flagged either automatically, manually, or by another user on the platform. In most cases, many of your posts will not be seen by a moderator unless it is automatically flagged, manually flagged, or reported by another user. For more information regarding prohibited activities and content which may be subject to moderation, refer to the Atmos Platform Guidelines.
Deleting posts
When you delete a post, the post (and any uploaded media that is attached to that post) will be deleted from our infrastructure. However, moderators will be able to “soft-delete” content for review if it is not already deleted by you. This allows moderators to review suspicious content if it were to be flagged either automatically or manually by another user, allowing moderators to act against offending content. Moderators are prohibited from disclosing any discovered information outside of the moderation network or with other users, and appropriate action will be taken if a moderator abuses their position.
Non-disclosure notice
Persons within the WarpLight developer network, including Live Feedback Team members, have promised not to disclose any confidential information that is discovered by either a developer, moderator, staff member, or Live Feedback Team member to any third-party without prior approval from the owner, and appropriate action will be taken if anyone were to disclose confidential information to another party. Confidential information is anything (but not limited to) items that can specifically and / or personally identify you, such as a physical home address, legal name, social security number, government issued identification, driver’s license, or any other kind of information that is specifically tied to a specific user. Any private and / or confidential information entered into our platforms and / or services stays confidential, even if you choose to delete your WarpLight Account, which will cause any stored data associated with the WarpLight Account to be deleted from our infrastructure. All staff members, developers, moderators, and Live Feedback Team members within the WarpLight network are required to sign a non-disclosure agreement between themselves and WarpLight. This non-disclosure agreement does not expire, and if they leave WarpLight in full, any information they have discovered or have been exposed to that is considered confidential is forbidden from being disclosed. Non-disclosure agreements do not expire, even if WarpLight or any of its platforms or services are destroyed. Your password information is encrypted and cannot be viewed by anyone. Your password cannot be seen by WarpLight and the password can only be reset by either you or WarpLight support. For questions or concerns regarding data confidentiality, contact us.
