@Ghost is right about this.CodeForum has the same ability to track you as any other service.
When you Sign-Up for a Forum, you're giving away your Email, Name, Date of Birth(This is required due to COPPA) and Gender. Then of course, as any other Website, they store that Info inside a Cookie for you to login and out of your Account.
But you see, behind what seems like minimal amounts of Data-Collection on a Forum, they're also collecting other forms of Information about you. This includes:
- IP Address(Which can be traced to your Location)
- What you Post and what you Read
- Other Forms of Information that you've written on your Profile(Like your Social Media Accounts and Interests)
Now, I myself, used to own a couple Forums and I was able to see every Member's IP-Address. Just think about that for second. I could've used the IP Addresses to track you down. But of course, I didn't track you down. I just stored the IP Address associated with your Account and just let it be.
And the thing is, you're on a Forum right now. So the people who run and moderate this Site have access to see things like your IP Address and hundreds of Logs that print out every single thing you do.
I'm assuming that you're using a VPN? If so, what if the VPN-Provider's Database got leaked or broke down. Your IP would be exposed for every Website to see.Only if it is my real IP address
You do realise that there is a lot we can do with your Information. We can give it away to the Authorities, sell it on the Deep or Dark-Web, use it to Track you down and trace it back to any other Accounts. And there is plenty more that can be done with your Information. Even if the Information you leave behind is very minimal, we can still use it.I wish you a lot of fun with that, too. I doubt you can do much with the data I leave behind.
