There are new pockats being released for the coming of spring!

The following will occasionally appear through Strange Merchant sales for 300 shells.

The following seasonal variants will be obtainable via the completion of Monthly Prompt or other seasonal events.

Monthly Prompt has been Updated!

There have been some changes to our appraisal rules both on our rules page and our masterlist updates pages!
The rules existing here were inconsistent, but officially define art that is appraisable as personal art and paid work. Artwork that was not paid for, including trades, gifts, and requests, cannot increase the monetary value of a bayfox.
Please give time for these changes to be reflected everywhere they exist.

A few modifications are being added to forms at the MYO, REDESIGN, and ADOPT approval page. Though not major, remember to include all traits added to a redesign and not just the newly applied traits!

Thank you all!

TOS/Privacy Policy Update

Posted 1 year ago :: Last edited 1 year ago by Fubsy

Hello everyone! 

We've essentially rewritten our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, and all users should read up on these if they'd like to be aware of the changes that have been made!

I'd also like to clear up some confusion that may have been caused from the old TOS and Privacy Policy, but mostly the Privacy Policy. When the staff team reviewed it for the first time in a while, we found what was written to be misleading/irrelevant to the site's performance and sometimes even concerning. 

  1. The old Privacy Policy (linked here for reference for those who'd like to review it) was created from a generator site by an old mod, as could be seen in the crediting on the bottom of the page, and while it was generated for the site, most of it was inaccurate/irrelevant towards it.
  2. While some clauses from the old policy have carried over, the new Privacy Policy has been written/compiled carefully and deliberately for the site, not generated, making it much more accurate.
  3. Statements made in the Privacy Policy that seemed to imply Bayfox Cove could have a business interest in collecting data or utilized tracking technologies like suspicious cookies were entirely unfounded, as we only collect your data to maintain a site account (it's not shared with anyone!) and have never run or consented to the running of cookies or tracking technologies purposefully on the site outside of to remember and secure your login session (as any website of the sort does), hence why we wanted to rectify the inaccurate statements immediately. For more information on what data we do collect and how we use it, see the updated policy.

If you have any questions or thoughts on what you'd like to see further included/clarified in our TOS/Privacy Policy, please don't hesitate to reach out or comment below, and we apologize for any concern/confusion the old policy may have caused. Thank you!
