At HayDay 🍀, your privacy is important to us. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and your rights as a user of this site.

🔍 What We Collect

• Your Discord ID and username when you log in
• Your IP address (used for abuse protection and rate limiting)
• Your browser’s user agent string
• Interaction logs (e.g., button clicks, link visits)
• Cookies that store your login session and security preferences

📌 Why We Collect This

This data is collected to:

• Enable Discord login
• Keep you logged in between visits (via cookies)
• Prevent scams, bots, and fraudulent behavior
• Block suspicious activity like website spam or DDoS attacks
• Improve site performance and debug errors

🛡 How We Use and Store Your Data

Cookies are small text files stored in your browser to maintain your session after login and remember preferences. We do not use cookies for advertising or tracking outside of hayday.info.

All data is securely stored in a private database. Only trusted staff have access. We do not sell or share your data with third parties.

IP addresses, interaction logs, and cookies are used strictly for security and essential functionality. Logs are auto-deleted after 30 days.

🔒 How We Detect and Block Abuse (Click to expand)

To protect the HayDay 🍀 website and community from malicious activity, we use automated protections that monitor incoming traffic for abuse.

• 🚫 Block IPs that repeatedly access suspicious or invalid paths (e.g., WordPress files)
• ⏱ Rate limit excessive requests to avoid server overload
• 🛡️ Auto-ban IPs after 20+ abuse triggers within a short period

These systems help defend against spam, bots, and DDoS attempts. All abuse bans are temporary (7 days) and stored securely. Only trusted staff can view or clear them.

⚖️ Your Rights

You may request access to your data or ask for it to be deleted at any time. Please contact the site owner or staff via Discord.
