What does mibbit log?
We do not keep logs of server connections, or channels joined. We do track failed connection attempts anonymously in order to resolve any compatibility issues.In the main client (http://mibbit.com/chat/) once registered, you can opt in to enable logging of PMs and channels. These are held securely and privately. You can delete any PM or channel logs you wish at any time.
When you enter a channel, you may get some 'recent chat'. This is sent from fellow mibbit users in that channel. This feature is enabled by channel operators (opt in), and nothing is stored permanently.
What do you want my email address for in the account tab?
