This Privacy Policy explains what personal information VaruoCore ("VaruoCore", "we", "us") collects, how we use it, and your choices. VaruoCore is operated by an independent developer. This document is a starting point, not legal advice — please have a qualified attorney review it for your location before relying on it (see the notice above), and complete the placeholders marked below. 1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT We collect only what we need to provide our services: - Discord identity: when you sign in with Discord, we receive your Discord user ID, username, and email address, and store your linked account. - Project information: the details you submit when you start a project or request a quote (such as contact name, business name, project description, features, budget range, and preferences). - Support and messages: the content of support tickets and the messages you send us through the website or the connected Discord threads. - Payment references: the payment method and a reference or note you provide so we can match a payment. We do NOT collect or store your full card or bank account numbers. - Technical data: basic logs and security information generated when you use the website (such as request and error logs), used to operate and protect the service. 2. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION We use your information to: provide quotes and carry out your project; communicate with you and provide support; process and confirm payments manually; keep records of orders, agreements, and actions (including an audit log) for legitimate business and security purposes; and operate, secure, and improve our services. 3. HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION We do not sell your personal information. We share it only as needed to run the service, including with: - Discord, for authentication and for the Discord server features your project and support use; - Payment providers (currently PayPal and Cash App), which you pay directly and which handle your payment details under their own privacy policies; - Infrastructure providers that host our website and database; - Others where required by law, or to protect our rights, safety, or property. 4. DATA RETENTION We keep business records (such as orders, quotes, payments, and audit logs) for as long as needed to run the business, meet legal and accounting obligations, and resolve disputes. Some records use soft deletion and are retained in our systems even after being hidden from active views. You can ask us to delete information that we are not required to keep. 5. SECURITY We take reasonable measures to protect your information, including access controls and encrypted connections. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. 6.

If you are under the age of majority in your location, a parent or guardian must be involved as described in our Terms of Service.
