Privacy
The WiscChat vCard database is a publicly searchable directory. If you do not want any information about your account to be available to the public, do not publish a vCard. If you choose to publish a vCard, do not add any information to the vCard that you do not want to be available to the public.
Individual chat sessions are not logged on the WiscChat servers. Groupchat/conference room logging may be enabled by an administrator at the request of the room owner on a room-by-room basis. Individual and group chat session data may be logged by the chat clients of the individuals participating in that session.
