We keep this policy plain and honest. HoneyGate collects the minimum data needed to run the service. We do not sell your data. We do not use advertising trackers, tracking pixels, or anything that follows you to other websites. Our web host counts page views so we know how busy the site is; it sets no cookies and cannot identify you. Section 5 says exactly who that is.
HoneyGate is a Discord bot and web application operated by Apex Studio, a business based in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. References to "HoneyGate", "we", "our", or "us" in this policy mean Apex Studio and the HoneyGate service at https://honeygate.app.

When you connect through our web surfaces (for example wallet verification or the member portal) and the Alt Detection feature is in use, we collect technical signals that help identify accounts likely operated by the same person: your IP address, browser user-agent, timezone, screen size, language, and platform. This data:

We use one cookie, hg2_sid, solely to keep you logged in. It is ours rather than a third party's, it lasts 30 days so you are not asked to sign in on every visit, and it holds nothing but a random reference to your session. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party cookies. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but this will prevent you from logging in to the web panel.

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including encrypted connections (TLS), hashed tokens, and access controls. No system is perfectly secure. If you discover a security vulnerability, please disclose it responsibly by emailing [email protected].
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated to server administrators via the HoneyGate web panel. Continued use of the service after the effective date of a revised policy constitutes acceptance.
