What does mibbit log?

{{notice:Where it says "We do not currently log any channels, it means public logging or logging that any staff has access too.}}

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.
Logging of PMs and channels is opt in. You can delete any PM or channel logs you wish at any time.
When you enter a channel on irc.mibbit.com, 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?

If you need a password reminder, or for future opt-in features such as alerts/notifications. We don't spam don't worry :)
