* Metadata automatically logged by the web server for every HTTP request, including the [[wikipedia:IP address|IP address]] and [[wikipedia:User-Agent header|user agent]] of the user making the request (this data is deleted after 14 days)

* Certain actions (account creations, page moves, file uploads, etc.), edits, and attempted edits the user has made, along with the time they were performed, which are publicly viewable in the Public Logs, User Contributions, or Page History

** The IP address and user agent used to perform these actions are stored in the database. This data can only be accessed by [[Irony Wiki:Check user|check users]] and is only used to investigate and block suspicious, spam, or otherwise abusive accounts or IP addresses. This data is never made public nor given to third parties.

The IP address associated with each [[mediawikiwiki:Help:Temporary accounts|temporary account]] can additionally be accessed by [[Irony Wiki:Administrators|administrators]]. This data is never made public nor given to third parties.

** When abused accounts or IP addresses are blocked, they will appear in the public [[Special:Log/block|block log]]; however, no connections between accounts and IP addresses are made public.

** If you made any edits prior to 26 July 2025 while not logged in to an account, the software will use your IP address to identify you, since it does not have any other name to identify you with. Your IP address will thus be indefinitely publicly visible in this case.

Irony Wiki utilizes the services of the following third parties:

* The hardware that hosts Irony Wiki is owned by DigitalOcean, LLC. The entirety of Irony Wiki and its user data (except for the previously mentioned locally stored data) exists on hardware located in DigitalOcean’s SFO2 data center ~~near San Francisco,~~ California, United States. DigitalOcean merely provides us with hardware to host the Wiki on for a monthly fee and has no liability for the contents or data of the Wiki. See also [https://www.digitalocean.com/legal/privacy-policy DigitalOcean’s privacy policy].

See also [https://www.digitalocean.com/legal/privacy-policy DigitalOcean’s privacy policy].

* Irony Wiki uses Cloudflare Turnstile (Cloudflare, Inc.). This has the same purpose as a CAPTCHA and is only served in certain circumstances, such as upon account creation and when a new or unregistered user inserts an external link into an edit, and exists to combat spam by verifying that the user is human. Turnstile is privacy-focused and fully compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation and the California Consumer Privacy Act. See also [https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/ CloudFlare’s privacy policy].

* Irony Wiki may use the services of hCaptcha (Intuition Machines, Inc.) to serve CAPTCHAs to users. These CAPTCHAs have the same purpose as Cloudflare Turnstile. At the time of this Privacy Policy’s last update, hCaptcha is not used (Turnstile is used instead) on the Wiki, but may start being used again at any time in the future. hCaptcha is fully compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation and the California Consumer Privacy Act. See also [https://www.hcaptcha.com/privacy hCaptcha’s privacy policy].
