Privacy Policy

MaeloRO is a private, community-run, non-profit Ragnarok Online server, not affiliated with Gravity Co., Ltd. This page explains what information we collect when you visit or play on maeloro.com, what we use it for, and what choices you have.

Information We Collect

• Account data: username, password (stored encrypted), and email if you provide one.
• IP address: logged on every connection for server security, multi-account prevention, and abuse detection.
• Discord data: if you link your account with Discord, we receive your Discord user ID to verify the link.
• Donation data: if you donate via PayPal or crypto, the payment is processed directly by the provider (PayPal / the corresponding crypto gateway) — we do not store card numbers or credentials from those platforms.
• Session cookies: necessary to keep you logged in while browsing or playing.

Cookies and Advertising

We use essential cookies for the site to function (login, language preferences). If we display ads through Google AdSense or other providers, those third parties may use cookies to show relevant ads based on your activity on this and other sites.

How We Use Your Data

• Operate the server and game accounts.
• Prevent cheating, multi-accounting, and abuse of the service.
• Respond to support requests and tickets.
• Process voluntary donations.
• Display ads (where applicable) to help cover server costs.

Who We Share Information With

We do not sell your data. We only share it with the providers necessary to run the site: PayPal / crypto payment processors (for donations), Discord (if you link your account), and advertising providers such as Google (where ads apply).

Your Rights

You can ask us at any time to review, correct, or delete the data associated with your account by reaching out on Discord or through the site's support system.
