IRC Privacy

TheLounge – TheLounge logs your channel and private messages so that it may provide the scrollback data to you as you login.  The log functionality can be turned off at the time of account creation; but then scrollback and any messages missed since you last logged in, will be unavailable.

ZNC – ZNC (if enabled by the user) logs your channel and private messages so that it may provide the buffer scrollback data to you as you login.  The log functionality can be turned off at any time by logging into the web-based administration console with your ZNC account login.

IRCPlus Staff does not read or use it’s users logs or data.  There may be cases where (due to abuse of the account) IRCPlus staff scan the logs to corroborate abuse reports, however IRCPlus and it’s Staff cannot release any information contained therein.

Your privacy is respected as we would want ours to be!

In Short…

IRCPlus will never release user account information or any other information unless forced to, by law enforcement. Your privacy is respected as we would want ours to be!
