Privacy Policy
Plain language, no fine-print games. Here's exactly what we collect, why, and what we never do.
What we collect
- Account details: the email address and handle you give us when you register, plus your password (stored only as a one-way hash, never in plain text).
- Your posts: the threads, replies, and reactions you create on the boards. These are public to other members by design.
- Basic usage analytics: pages viewed and similar aggregate signals, via Google Analytics through Google Tag Manager.
Cookies and Consent Mode
We use cookies for analytics. We run Google Consent Mode v2: by default analytics storage is on, while advertising signals (ad storage, ad user data, ad personalization) are off until you choose. The cookie banner lets you Accept all or Decline, and your choice is remembered on your device. You can clear it any time by clearing your browser's site data for twwboards.com.
How we use your data
To run your account, show your posts, send transactional email (welcome and password resets), and understand traffic in aggregate so we can make the boards better. That's it.
What we never do
We do not sell your data. We don't share it with advertisers. Transactional email is sent through our email provider purely to deliver the messages you'd expect.
Your choices
- Change your consent choice any time via the cookie banner or by clearing site data.
- Want your account or posts removed? Email us and we'll sort it: boards@twwboards.com.
Children
The Winged Wheel is intended for a general adult fan audience and is not directed at children.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update this page. Material changes will be reflected here with a fresh effective date.
