Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy for Thumdar

Effective Date: 5/6/2025

Disclaimer on Jurisdiction and Voluntary Compliance:

Thumdar.com operates from and is based in the state of Nebraska, United States. We are not legally obligated to comply with privacy laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the Nevada Privacy Law, or the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). However, in the interest of transparency, ethical data practices, and respect for user rights, we voluntarily extend certain protections and tools to all users. These measures are provided in good faith to help users manage their personal data responsibly. Any references to rights under CCPA, GDPR, or other privacy laws are included solely as part of our commitment to privacy, not as an acknowledgment of legal obligation or jurisdiction. In short, we care about your privacy, even where we’re not legally required to.

╸╸╸╸╸╸╸╸╸╸╸╸╸╸╸

At Thumdar.com, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose information when you visit or use our services. By using our website, you consent to the practices outlined in this policy.

1. Information We Collect:

We collect various types of information to provide, maintain, and improve our services:

• Personal Information: This includes data you provide when creating an account, purchasing a subscription, or interacting with our website. It includes information such as your name, email address, and other contact information.
• Usage Data: We collect non-personal data about how you interact with our website, such as your IP address, browser type, and activity logs.
• Cookies and Tracking Technologies: Our site uses cookies and other technologies to enhance your experience. You can control cookie settings through your browser.

2. How We Use Your Information:

The information we collect is used for several purposes, including:

• Providing, maintaining, and improving our website and services.
• Responding to your inquiries and providing customer support.
• Processing transactions, payments, and subscriptions.
• Analyzing trends to enhance our user experience.
• Communicating with you about updates, promotions, and relevant news.

3. Legal Rights Regarding Your Data:

We are committed to ensuring that your personal data is handled in accordance with all applicable laws. Depending on where you reside, you may have specific rights under privacy laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 603A, Nebraska LB1074, and the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). While many of these rights overlap, we have summarized them below in a unified and transparent way to reflect the full scope of your privacy protections.

Rights You May Have:

• Right to Access: You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, including how we use it, where it’s stored or processed, and with whom it is shared. This applies under California law, Nebraska’s consumer protection standards, and the GDPR.
• Right to Correct/Rectify: If your information is inaccurate or incomplete, you may request that we correct or update it. This is guaranteed under GDPR, California’s CPRA, and aligns with best practices observed in Nebraska.
• Right to Delete: You may request that we delete your personal data, subject to certain exceptions (such as data we’re legally required to retain or that is necessary for legitimate business purposes). This right is protected under GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and generally expected under U.S. privacy frameworks like those in Nebraska.
• Right to Data Portability: Where applicable (such as under GDPR and California law), you may request that we provide your personal data in a portable and machine-readable format, or that we transmit it to another organization.
• Right to Restrict or Object to Processing: Under GDPR, you may object to certain processing activities or request that we restrict processing. While this right is not explicitly provided under all U.S. state laws, we aim to honor reasonable requests where possible.
• Right to Opt Out of Targeted Advertising or Sale of Data:
  • Under California law, you can opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We currently do not sell or share your personal data for these purposes, and we do not use your information to profile you for advertising or behavioral targeting.
  • Under Nevada law (NRS 603A), consumers may request to opt out of the sale of their personal data. However, we do not sell personal information, as defined by Nevada law, and are not considered a data broker
• Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not deny you services, charge different prices, or provide a different quality of service if you exercise your privacy rights, as prohibited under CCPA/CPRA and generally supported by other legal frameworks.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: If you’ve previously given consent for us to process your data (as required under GDPR), you may withdraw that consent at any time.
• Right to Lodge a Complaint: If you are located in the European Union, you may lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. Users in other jurisdictions may contact us directly if they believe their rights are being violated.

How to Exercise Your Rights:

You may submit a request to exercise any of the above rights by contacting us through any of our contact forms or by emailing us at legal@thumdar.com. We will verify your identity before processing your request and respond within the timeframe required by applicable law (typically within 30–45 days). In some cases, we may require additional information to fulfill your request or comply with legal obligations.

Note: These actions can be completed directly from your account settings on our website without needing to submit a written request.

4. Data Protection and Security:

We are committed to protecting your personal data and have implemented a comprehensive range of security measures to ensure its safety. These safeguards are designed to meet or exceed current industry standards and align with major privacy regulations, including GDPR, CCPA, and others.

Key protections include:

• Encrypted Transmission: All data exchanged between your device and our platform is secured using HTTPS/SSL encryption.
• Web Application Firewall (WAF): Intelligent real-time filtering is used to block malicious traffic and threats before they reach our platform.
• 24/7 Threat Monitoring: Continuous monitoring systems help detect and respond to malware, bots, and suspicious behavior.
• Automated Patching: Critical vulnerabilities are addressed proactively with automated tools to minimize risk exposure.
• User Data Isolation: User data is stored in logically separated environments to reduce the risk of cross-user exposure or access.
• Global Threat Intelligence Integration: Security systems are reinforced with data from global sources to stay ahead of emerging threats.

Although no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, we take all commercially reasonable steps to protect your information. Access is restricted to authorized personnel, and we routinely evaluate our security measures to ensure ongoing effectiveness.

If you have any concerns about how your data is protected, feel free to contact us directly through our website. A contact form is conveniently located below this policy.

5. Sharing Your Information:

Thumdar does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We take your privacy seriously and only share your data when absolutely necessary to operate, maintain, or improve the platform. Any sharing is done with care, transparency, and your best interest in mind.

We may share limited data with trusted third-party service providers that help us perform essential functions — such as secure payment processors, analytics platforms, cloud storage services, and communication tools. These providers are contractually required to handle your data in a secure, confidential manner, and to comply with applicable privacy laws and data protection standards.

We also want to be clear:

• Thumdar does not share your personal data with advertisers, marketers, or unknown vendors.
• We do not allow outside companies to use your data for profiling, retargeting, or behavioral marketing.
• Any data sharing is strictly limited to what is necessary for the technical operation and integrity of the site.

In rare cases, we may disclose information if required by law, legal request, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of Thumdar, its users, or others — but only as legally obligated and with the narrowest scope possible.

You’re trusting us with your data, and we value that trust. If you have questions or want to better understand how your information is handled, we’re here for you. Contact us at any time, and we’ll respond promptly.

6. Third-Party Services and External Links:

Thumdar may feature links to third-party websites, services, or external platforms. These include, but are not limited to, donation links, showcase pages, and portfolio sites submitted by community members—particularly Verified Contributors. These contributors are individuals who have consistently given their time, creativity, and resources to the virtual world community, and the ability to link to external platforms provides a way for the broader community to give back.

While Thumdar reviews and verifies contributors through a structured process, we do not control or operate any third-party websites and cannot guarantee their practices or content. We do not sell user data to third parties, nor do we participate in affiliate or link-monetization schemes.

Users are strongly encouraged to:

• Use caution and good judgment when clicking on external links or submitting personal or payment information.
• Verify contributor status by looking for the official Verified Contributor badge.
• Ensure the third-party service they are engaging with complies with their local laws and privacy standards.
• Understand that it is solely their responsibility to evaluate the safety and legitimacy of third-party platforms.
• Report any suspicious or misleading links so we can take swift action to review or remove them.

Thumdar is not liable for any damages, losses, or privacy issues that may arise from your interaction with external content. We do, however, take these matters seriously and maintain strong internal policies for how links may be shared, especially by Verified Contributors. This ensures that trust, transparency, and safety remain core to the Thumdar community experience.

Link Safety and Responsibility:

We strongly urge users to exercise caution when following external links, including those shared by Verified Contributors. Always double-check URLs and ensure you’re visiting reputable websites before entering any personal or financial information. Thumdar is not responsible for the content, practices, or policies of third-party sites, and users follow external links at their own risk.

We recommend verifying that the URL is spelled correctly, starts with “https://”, and aligns with the intended service or contributor. If something looks suspicious or unfamiliar, trust your instincts and proceed carefully or not at all.

Donation Disclaimer:

Please note that any payments or donations made to Verified Contributors via third-party platforms (e.g., PayPal, Ko-Fi) are handled solely by those contributors and the external service providers. Thumdar does not process or oversee these transactions and therefore cannot issue refunds or intervene in any financial disputes.

For example, if you intended to donate $20 but accidentally added an extra zero and sent $200, you would need to contact the Verified Contributor directly through the platform you used to request a correction or refund. As these transactions occur outside of Thumdar’s systems, we have no access or control over them.

We strongly recommend double-checking all payment amounts and verifying contributor identity before finalizing any donations.

7. Children’s Privacy and COPPA Compliance:

Thumdar is a platform strictly intended for adults. Users must be 18 years of age or older to access or engage with our services, including account creation, content sharing, and community interaction. We do not knowingly collect, solicit, or store any personal information from individuals under 18 and maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward underage use.

We are fully committed to complying with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and other applicable laws governing the online collection of information from minors. In accordance with COPPA:

• We do not knowingly collect, request, or store personal data from anyone under the age of 18.
• Our services are not designed for or targeted toward minors, and we actively discourage and prohibit access by individuals under the age of 18.
• If we discover or have reason to believe that a user is underage — or that personal data from a minor has been submitted — we will immediately terminate the account and permanently delete all associated data.
• We do not archive or retain any information believed to originate from individuals under 18.
• Parents or legal guardians who believe a child has interacted with Thumdar in violation of our policy should contact us immediately via any of our contact forms so that we may investigate and take appropriate action without delay.

This strict adherence to COPPA and child safety laws reflects our broader commitment to user protection, digital ethics, and regulatory compliance. Thumdar is dedicated to maintaining a safe, responsible, and age-appropriate environment for its community.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy:

Thumdar may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, services, legal obligations, or community needs. When updates are made, we will revise the “Effective Date” at the top of this page and clearly indicate any significant modifications.

We encourage all users to review this policy from time to time to stay informed about how we protect your privacy and manage your data. Continued use of our services after any updates constitutes your acknowledgment and agreement to the revised terms.

If substantial changes are made that impact user rights or the way we handle personal data, we will make reasonable efforts to notify users through clear on-site notices or email (where available) to ensure transparency and informed consent.

Thumdar remains committed to transparency, accountability, and the ongoing protection of our community’s privacy.

9. International Users & GDPR Disclaimer:

Thumdar is based in the state of Nebraska, United States, and operates primarily under Nebraska and applicable U.S. law. While we are not legally obligated to comply with international data protection laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we have made good faith efforts to align with its core principles — including transparency, data minimization, user access, and data protection — to the extent reasonably possible.

We do not directly market to individuals located in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or other international jurisdictions with specific data privacy laws. Our services are intended for a domestic U.S. audience, and any access or use by international users is done at their own discretion and risk.

By accessing or using Thumdar from outside the United States, you acknowledge and accept that your personal data may be processed and stored in the U.S. and that local privacy protections may not fully mirror those of your home jurisdiction. We strongly encourage users from such regions to exercise discretion and caution when interacting with our platform.

Thumdar makes every reasonable effort to safeguard user data and uphold privacy best practices, but international users should understand that our primary legal obligations and compliance frameworks are rooted in U.S. law.
