Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 10, 2026  |  Last Updated: March 10, 2026

1. Who We Are

Remote Construct ("we," "us," or "our") is a remote machine rental platform operated by Dylan (an individual). You can contact us at contact@remoteconstruct.io.

2. What Information We Collect

When you create an account, we collect:

• Username — chosen by you at registration (3–32 characters). This is the only name associated with your account.
• Password — stored as a secure one-way hash using bcrypt. We cannot read your password.
• Account creation timestamp — the date and time your account was created.
• Account status — whether your account is in good standing or subject to a moderation action (ban or timeout), and the reason if applicable.

While you use the service, we temporarily hold in memory:

• Session data — a session ID stored in a cookie in your browser, used to keep you logged in. It expires after 1 hour of inactivity.
• Queue position — your username and position in the machine queue while you wait. This is not stored to disk.

We do not collect:

• Email addresses
• IP addresses
• Payment information (currently — see Section 8 for future plans)
• Location data
• Device identifiers or fingerprints

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect only to:

• Authenticate you when you log in
• Manage your place in the machine queue
• Enforce account moderation actions (bans, timeouts) if you violate our Terms of Service
• Allow you to update your username or password via your profile settings

4. Cookies

We use a single session cookie named sid. This cookie is strictly necessary for the site to function — it keeps you logged in. It is set as HttpOnly (not accessible by JavaScript) and expires after 1 hour. We do not use any advertising, analytics, or tracking cookies.

Because we use only a strictly necessary session cookie, no cookie consent banner is required under current US law.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or share your personal information with any third parties. We do not use any third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics), advertising networks, or social media tracking pixels.

6. Data Storage and Security

Your account data is stored in a SQLite database on our server. Passwords are hashed with bcrypt (cost factor 12) and are never stored in plaintext. We take reasonable technical precautions to protect your data, including HTTPS-only access and rate limiting on login attempts.

No security system is perfect. If you believe your account has been compromised, please contact us immediately.

7. Data Retention and Deletion

Your account data is retained until you request deletion. To delete your account and all associated data, email us at contact@remoteconstruct.io. We will process deletion requests within a reasonable time.

8. Future Payment Processing

We plan to introduce paid sessions in the future. When we do, payment processing will be handled by a third-party payment processor (such as Stripe). We will not store your payment card details on our servers. This Privacy Policy will be updated before any payment features go live.

9. Age Restriction

Remote Construct is intended for users who are 13 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has created an account, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the service after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.

11. Contact

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or want to request deletion of your account, email us at contact@remoteconstruct.io, use the Contact Admin form on your profile page (login required), or join our community Discord.
