Upon registration, Users are asked for their email address, first and last names, and a personal password. You may voluntarily submit an alias, city and country of residence.

Aliases are shown to other users instead of your real name when using 'social' features (sharing pieces, joining groups). No personal information is ever disclosed to unregistered visitors of the website.

Your email address is never shown to anyone who does not yet know it, unless you use the website to send email notifications on your behalf, which fills in your reply address.

For inquiries via email or contact form, email addresses and messages are stored for the duration of their processing.

The Site's web server logs IP addresses of all requests for a reasonable time (up to 14 days), in order to detect security problems and software bugs.
