This Privacy Policy is provided by SixMods.net (“we,” “us,” or “our”). We are committed to protecting the privacy of our users while providing a robust platform for the Grand Theft Auto modding community. This policy describes how we collect, use, store, and disclose information received from or about you through your access to and use of our website (the “Site”).
By accessing or using SixMods.net, you explicitly accept the collection, use, and storage of your information as described herein. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not access or use the Site.
We collect information that allows us to provide a secure and social experience for our users and modders.
Account & Profile Information: When you register, we collect your email address, chosen username, and password. Through our community features (BuddyBoss), you may optionally provide profile data, such as a biography, social media links, or a profile avatar.
User-Generated Content (UGC): We collect any files you upload (including .zip, .rar, and .7z archives), mod descriptions, screenshots, and comments.
Technical & Usage Information: We automatically collect your IP address (Device Identifier), browser type, operating system, and data regarding your interactions with the Site (e.g., download history, links clicked, and search queries).
Cookies: We use cookies to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and detect fraudulent activity.
We process your information based on legitimate business interests, including:
Community Functionality: Displaying your uploader profile, mod contributions, and community interactions to other users.
Service Delivery: Facilitating the storage, indexing, and downloading of modding assets.
Security & Moderation: Preventing “leeching,” DDoS attacks, and unauthorized access; investigating violations of our Terms of Service; and protecting the safety of our users.
Communication: Sending transactional emails regarding your account, security updates, or responses to your inquiries via help@sixmods.net.
We do not sell your personal information. However, we may share data with third parties to facilitate our services:
Cloud Infrastructure: We utilize third-party providers, such as DigitalOcean, to host the Site and store user-uploaded archives. These providers are authorized to use your information only as necessary to provide these services to us.
Legal Compliance: We may disclose your information if required by law, subpoena, or court order, specifically within the jurisdiction of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Public Visibility: By design, any content you upload to public mod galleries or community feeds is visible to the general public.
File Metadata: When you upload an archive, you are responsible for the contents. We do not automatically scrub metadata from files within your archives. Ensure your “Readme” files or internal mod data do not contain personal information you do not wish to be public.
License Grant: By uploading content to SixMods.net, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, cache, and distribute those files. You retain all ownership rights to your original work.
SixMods.net is intended for a general adult audience (targeting users aged 25+). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of thirteen (13). If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will delete it immediately.
Access & Correction: You may update your profile information at any time through your Account Settings.
Deletion: You may request the deletion of your account and associated personal data by contacting us at help@sixmods.net. Please note that some technical logs may be retained for a limited period as required for security or legal audit purposes.
Communication: You may opt out of non-transactional emails using the “Unsubscribe” link provided in those messages.
We employ commercially reasonable security measures (including SSL encryption and firewalls) to protect your data. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account password.
This Privacy Policy and your use of the Site are governed by the laws of the United States and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Any disputes arising from this policy shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located within Pennsylvania.
