Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

Your privacy is critically important to us. We have a few fundamental principles:

  • We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it.
    (We can’t stand services that ask you for things like your gender or
    income level for no apparent reason.)
  • We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
  • We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of one of our services.
  • On our websites, we aim to make it as simple as possible
    for you to control what’s visible to the public, seen by search engines,
    kept private, and permanently deleted.

If you have questions about deleting or correcting your personal data, please contact us.

 

Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these goals:

In this document, the terms “we” and “us” refer to Diamond Age Media, and “our” refers to Diamond Age Media’s. All other entities are referred to by their respective names.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, we collect
non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and
servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language
preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor
request. Our purpose in collecting non-personally identifying
information is to better understand how our visitors use our products. From time to time, we may release
non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by
publishing a report on trends in the usage of our products.

We also collect potentially personally-identifying
information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users
and for users leaving comments. We only
disclose logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same
circumstances that we use and disclose personally-identifying
information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses may be  visible and disclosed to the administrators of where the
comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to our websites choose to interact with it in ways that require us to gather
personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information
that we gather depends on the nature of the interaction. For
example, we ask visitors who sign up to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in
transactions with us – by donating funds to us, for example – are asked to provide
additional information, including as necessary the personal and
financial information required to process those transactions. In each
case, we collect such information only insofar as is necessary
or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with us. We do not intentionally disclose personally-identifying
information other than as described below. And visitors can always
refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat
that it may prevent them from engaging in certain activities.

Aggregated Statistics

We may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to our website. For instance, we may monitor the most popular areas of our site or use spam previously screened to help identify new spam. We may display this information
publicly or provide it to others. However, we do not disclose
personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

We disclose potentially personally-identifying and
personally-identifying information only to those of its volunteers, employees,
contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that
information in order to process it on our behalf or to provide
services, and (ii) that have agreed
not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, volunteers, contractors and
affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by
using our products/websites, you consent to the transfer of such
information to them. We will not rent or sell potentially
personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone.
Other than to its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations,
as described above, we disclose potentially
personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in
response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or
when we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably
necessary to protect our property or our rights, third parties
or the public at large. If you are a registered user of and have supplied your email address, we may
occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit
your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with us and our products. We primarily use social media
to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type
of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a
support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the
right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your
request or to help us support other users. We take all measures
reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use,
alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and
personally-identifying information.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a
visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the
website each time the visitor returns. We use cookies to help identify and track visitors, their usage of our
website, and their website access preferences. Visitors who
do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their
browsers to refuse cookies before using our website, with the
drawback that certain features of our website may not function
properly without the aid of cookies.

Ownership Transfers

In the unlikely event of a change in ownership, user information would be one of the assets that are
transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such
transfers may occur, and that any acquirer or future owner may continue to
use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

Ads

Ads appearing on any of our websites may be delivered to users by
advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad
server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online
advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your
computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things,
deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most
interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by us and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Comments

Comments and other content caught by our anti-spam safeguards
are not intentionally saved on our servers unless they were marked as false
positives, in which case we store them long enough to use them to avoid future false positives.

Content

When you upload or otherwise submit content to us, you give Zelcon Games (and those we work with) a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, transferable license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, publicly perform, and publicly display such content (in whole or part) worldwide and/or to incorporate it in other works in any form, media, or technology now known or later developed, all subject to the terms of the applicable license.

Privacy Policy Changes

Although most changes are likely to be minor, we may change our  Privacy Policy from time to time, and at our sole
discretion. We encourage visitors to frequently check this page
for any changes to its Privacy Policy.  Your continued use of this site after any change in this
Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.

(Note, this privacy policy is available under a Creative Commons Sharealike
license, which means you’re more than welcome to repurpose
it for your own use, just make sure to replace references to us with
ones to you. We spent a lot of

money and time on the above,
and other people shouldn’t need to do the same.)
