Last updated: March 13, 2026

Overview

LPIC.cc (the "Service") values your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your data when you use the Service.

Data We Collect

To provide the Service, we may collect the following data:

  • Uploaded file content (images, videos) and associated descriptions
  • Password hashes (stored with bcrypt encryption; we cannot recover plaintext passwords)
  • IP addresses (for security and rate limiting; partially masked during storage)
  • Basic usage information (upload time, file size, view count)
  • Cloudflare Turnstile verification data (for bot prevention)

How We Use Your Data

The data we collect is used solely for the following purposes:

  • Providing, maintaining, and improving the Service
  • Preventing abuse and ensuring security (rate limiting, anomaly detection)
  • Generating anonymous statistics (e.g., total uploads, view counts)
  • Complying with legal obligations and law enforcement requests

Data Retention

Uploaded files are retained for 30 days after the last view and automatically deleted upon expiration. Security logs such as IP addresses are retained for 90 days before deletion. After account deletion, related data is fully removed within 30 days.

Third-Party Services

The Service uses the following third-party services, each with their own privacy policies:

  • Cloudflare — CDN acceleration, DDoS protection, object storage, Turnstile verification
  • Google AdSense — Advertising (may use cookies for ad personalization)

Cookie Policy

The Service uses essential cookies for functionality (e.g., admin login sessions). Third-party advertising services (Google AdSense) may set additional cookies for ad personalization. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

Data Security

We implement multiple measures to protect your data: all transmissions use HTTPS encryption; passwords are stored with bcrypt hashing; IP addresses are partially masked; access controls and rate limiting prevent unauthorized access. However, no system can guarantee absolute security.

  • Right of access — Know what data we hold about you
  • Right of rectification — Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Right of erasure — Request deletion of your data
