====== Privacy Policy ======
This is a short, modern privacy note for the Nilgiri website and MUD. It is **not** a recovered 2000s legal document and is not written as formal counsel. It describes what the game and wiki reasonably collect to operate.

===== What we collect =====

==== MUD (game server) ====
  * **Connection metadata** — IP address and connection times needed to run SSH / game sessions, enforce idle limits, and operate basic abuse controls
  * **Account / character data** — name, password hash (or equivalent credential storage), e-mail used at character creation, race and appearance choices, stats, inventory, skills, friends lists, and other persistent character state
  * **Gameplay logs** — routine server logs (for example connection, errors, selected game events) used to keep the world running and to debug problems

Character creation uses e-mail to identify a primary owner across characters and to deliver a temporary password. The login text states that e-mail is private and is not used to solicit you.

==== Website / wiki (nilgiri.net) ====
  * Ordinary web server logs (IP, user agent, requested URL, timestamps)
  * Wiki session cookies when you browse or edit DokuWiki
  * Whatever content you voluntarily publish on wiki pages

===== What we do not do =====
  * We do not sell player e-mail lists
  * We do not ask for payment card data to play
  * This page does not claim third-party ad tracking as part of the MUD itself

===== Your choices =====
  * Do not reuse an important password from elsewhere
  * Use an e-mail inbox you control (and check spam during creation)
  * Contact the implementors through ordinary game / site channels if you need a character or e-mail concern looked at
