Any mods found remotely harvesting, collecting or tracking user information will be removed and the mod creator permanently banned.

If you have a specific reason to collect information remotely then post about it first in the mod forums and ask permission.

Create your own unique identifier and save in user settings if you need to validate user identity over time.

Save only the minimal information required and do not associate or track IP addresses or any other personally identifiable information.

Assume your server will be hacked eventually so be careful what you save and how you secure data.
