This privacy statement ("Privacy Policy") covers the Cephiro Forum (cephiro.psynos.net).
We use information you share with us for our internal purposes. We do not sell your information. This notice tells you what information we collect, how we use it, and steps we take to protect and secure it.
I. Information we automatically collect
Non-personally-identifying:
Like most website operators, we collect non-personally-identifying information such as browser type, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request.
We collect this to understand how our visitors use our service, and use it to make decisions about how to change and adapt the service.
Personally-identifying:
We automatically collect personally-identifying information, such as IP address, provided by your browser and your computer.
We collect this information for several purposes:
II. Information you are required to provide to us on registration
In order to register for the service, you must give us your email address. We will use your email address to send confirmation of certain actions, such as when you change your password.
Once you have created your account, you can choose to subscribe to certain events and have notifications of those events sent to you via email. You will be able to change your mind and opt out of receiving notifications via email at any time.
When you register, you must also give us your date of birth. This is to make sure we aren't accidentally collecting information from children, which is prohibited by United States law. We save this information so that we can prove we're complying with that law. Once you've created your account, you can specify a birthdate to make public, which does not have to be your actual date of birth.
We will never sell or provide your email address or your date of birth to any third party, with exceptions as set forth below.
III. Optional information you provide to us
As you use the service, you have the option to provide more personal information, through your profile or posts you make. Providing this information is strictly optional.
By choosing to make any personally-identifying information public, you recognise and accept that other people, not affiliated with us, may use this data to contact you. We can't be responsible for the use of any information you post publicly.
IV. Disclosure of personally-identifying information
We disclose personally-identifying information only to those of our employees and contractors who (i) need to know that information in order to operate the service and (ii) have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of these employees and contractors may be located outside your home country. By using this website, you consent to the transfer of your information to them.
We may disclose potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information when that release is required by law or by court order, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the safety or rights of us, third parties, or the public at large.
V. Special rules regarding children
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ('COPPA') requires that we inform parents on how we collect and disclose the personal information of children under the age of 13.
We do not permit children under the age of 13 to use our service. To prevent this, we collect date of birth at the time of account creation. If your child under the age of 13 has mis-represented their age at account creation, please contact us at cephiro@psynos.net. After confirming your identity, we will remove the account.
VI. 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 us identify and track visitors, their usage of the website, and their website access preferences. We also use cookies to govern logging into your account.
Visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using the site, with the drawback that certain features of the site may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
VII. Confidentiality and security
No data transmission over the Internet can ever be guaranteed to be 100% secure. You use this service at your own risk. However, we do take steps to ensure security on our systems.
Your account information is password-protected. We recommend that you choose a strong and secure password.
If we learn of a system security breach, we will notify you electronically so you can take appropriate steps to protect yourself. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing. To receive free written notice, you should contact us at cephiro@psynos.net.
VIII. Deleting your information
You can change or delete any optional information that you've provided us at any time. If you change or delete any optional information you've provided, the change will take place immediately.
You can also choose to delete your account entirely. Deleting your account yourself will only delete your access to the forum. Your username will remain on every post you have made and been quoted in. If you would like a more comprehensive deletion you need to post a request in the Account Deletion Requests thread or by email cephiro@psynos.net.
As part of the day to day operation of the Cephiro Forum, we will make regular copies of the data contained in the databases for backup purposes. These backups can potentially contain deleted data for several weeks or months. These backups will also be governed by the rules for disclosure of personally-identifying information.
IX. Changes
We may change our privacy policy from time to time. If these changes are minor, we will post them to this page. If the changes are major, we will post them to this page and notify users through the news banner and through email. You will be prompted to accept the changes the next time you log in before you may continue using the website.
