+<h1>Privacy Policy</h1>
+<p>
+  Blastmud collects the following information that can be linked to individuals:
+  <ul>
+    <li>
+      Whether or not you are over 18 years of age. This is used to ensure that
+      we do not allow you access to games which cannot be made available to you.
+      If you are under 18, the data is not retained. If you are over 18, this
+      information is retained indefinitely.
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      The IP address(es) you use to connect to Blastmud. These are used
+      to block access to Blastmud from countries where we are not confident it can be legally provided,
+      to check whether or not you are using an IP address that has been banned or restricted from the
+      service or part of it, and to apply rate limits to prevent abuse. In normal circumstances, IP
+      addresses are retained for up to 2 years, but if you are banned or restricted from the service,
+      they are retained until up to 2 years after the ban or restriction is lifted. Bans and restrictions
+      can be for an indefinite period, in which the IP address will be retained indefinitely.
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      The IP address used to request an Over 18 certificate for running your own server.
+      This will form part of the certificate issued. We keep records of all certificates issued,
+      including the IP address, so that they can be revoked if they are leaked on the Internet.
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      The email address you provide. This is retained indefinitely as an identifier for your
+      account in case you contact us in the future.
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      The character name you choose for yourself. We recommend not making this something
+      linkable to your real identity, as it will be retained indefinitely and shown in-game to
+      identify you to other players.
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      Any free-form information you disclose while playing the game (for example, through in game
+      communication functionality). Depending on the type of communication, this could be shared
+      with other players and retained indefinitely. We recommend not posting any personally
+      identifiable information through these channels.
+    </li>
+  </ul>
+</p>
