PRIVACY POLICY

The Octavian Universe · applies to the Zaenderist Academy and every site of the Universe alike · last revised 2026-09-22

1 · Who this is

The Octavian Universe is a community of linked Discord servers and websites built around a Roblox community. This policy is written by the person who operates that infrastructure ("the operator", contactable through the Discord server you arrived from) and applies identically across every site under this Universe: the hub, the wiki, the Inquisition's desk, the Custode Office, the Zaenderist Academy, the Quartermaster Ministry, elections, the quota system, the penance system, and every other page linked from them.

2 · What is collected, and why

DataWhere it comes fromWhy it's kept
Discord user ID, username, server rolesDiscord's own API, once you interact with a bot or sign inIdentifying who you are inside the community; nothing works without this
Roblox user ID, username, group rankRoblox's public API, and your own linking of the two accountsRanking, group membership, in-game record-keeping
Session cookiesSet by the site you're signing intoKeeping you signed in; never used for tracking across unrelated sites
IP address at time of visitAutomatically, by any web serverSecurity investigation only, on a small number of gated internal pages; never shown on any public page or to ordinary members
Text you submit (reports, essays, wiki edits, ballots, tickets, forum posts)Forms you fill in yourselfThe stated purpose of that form — a bug ticket, a disciplinary essay, an election vote, an intelligence filing, and so on
Images or short video you attachUploads you choose to make, e.g. evidence on a reportSupporting the report you filed it with; nothing else
Screen, camera, and microphone during a proctored examinationOnly during a Zaenderist Academy sitting you have entered and been told is recordedPreventing impersonation and dishonesty during that specific sitting

3 · Legal basis (GDPR Article 6)

4 · Who else sees it

Discord and Roblox see whatever you already send them directly; that is between you and them. Beyond that:

5 · How long it is kept

Records are kept for as long as they serve the purpose they were made for — a rank or membership record for as long as you are part of the community, a disciplinary or intelligence record for as long as it remains relevant to standing or safety, an examination recording for a short working period after grading and then deleted. Nothing is kept indefinitely as a matter of course; old and irrelevant records are removed as the system is maintained.

6 · Your rights

Under GDPR (and equivalent law wherever you are), you can ask to:

Ask through the Discord server you use to reach this community, addressed to the operator. A request naming yourself accurately and describing what you want is enough; no special form is required.

7 · Children

This community exists on Roblox and Discord, both of which set their own minimum ages and require their own account-level consent; this policy does not lower or replace those. Nothing here is intended to invite a child below the age either platform sets to use this system outside of what those platforms already permit.

8 · Security

Passwords are never collected or handled by any site in this Universe — sign-in always goes through Discord, Roblox, or a one-time code sent to your own Discord messages. Sensitive records are encrypted at rest and restricted to the specific offices that need them. No system is unbreakable; if you believe a security problem exists, report it through the Discord server rather than exploiting it.

9 · Changes to this policy

This page may be revised as the system changes. The date at the top is the last revision. Material changes will be announced where the community would ordinarily expect to see such a notice.
