In order to operate correctly and maintain availability and security of its services, NUK The World collects certain personal information from its users. This page describes the personal information we collect, and what we do with it.

IP address

Your IP address is collected and stored by our servers in order to identify abuse and fraud. It is stored in our webserver logs which are kept for 90 days, and in our forum software's database when you post content to the forum, where it lasts the life of your content. If you elect to remove your posted content from the forums, your IP address will be removed together with that data; this may be done in a self-service fashion.

Email address

Your email address is collected during registration on this site in order to provide you with essential security notices regarding your account, send you notifications about forum activity (with your consent), and allow you to recover your account in the event that you forget your password.

Date of Birth

NUK The World offers the option to its members to verify their age with staff in order to gain access to areas of the site which allow for pictures that include one's face ("selfies") and other potentially more identifying content. During identity verification, *NUK The World members provide staff with a redacted official document with all identifying information besides date of birth blacked out. Following confirmation of identity verification, the user's age, Discord username, forum username, and real age are recorded in a spreadsheet accessible only to NUK The World staff members. Date of birth is not retained.

Verified Content

NUK The World recognizes the desire for its members to share pictures and seeks to make it as safe as possible to do so. However, the owners and moderators of NUK The World make absolutely no guarantee as to the privacy of any content posted to NUK The World, including content posted to Verified areas.
