Privacy and Security
1. We use the industry-grade and battle-tested bcrypt algorithm to securely hash and salt passwords to ensure an extra level of account security. Even if the database is breached by hackers, the passwords cannot be retrieved.
2. If you forget your password, you can reset the password on the login page. A password reset link will be sent to the email on file with us. If you forget the email, you will need to register for another account. Please note one IP address can register a maximum of 4 accounts.
3. If you would like to remove all your data on GoPubby, send an email to the administrator at [email protected]. Account removal requests will be handled at the admin level only. Note that if an account is removed, all associated data will be lost.
