 ===== Compliance with the Privacy Act of 1974 and the EU GDPR =====
-The SWA and all related sites only collect names (character names and an assumed first name of the player), unverified email addresses, and the IP address used to register (for spam/bot prevention). They are stored securely in a database for login purposes and to keep characters linked under the same login.
+Effective date: May 09, 2018
-When a player joins a site, they agree to have their character, username, and email archived in the site's database. This information is accessible to everyone with the exception of system administrators and the webmaster. The information will remain on the site until the sim is closed and/or deleted. It will not be searched out, sold to third parties, or posted publicly. We are an avenue for text-based roleplaying games and most of the emails used are created specifically for this purpose as most people create special secondary accounts just for this hobby.
+Split World Alliance ("us", "we", or "our") operates the split-world.com and accelsim.com websites (the "Service").
-This information will never be sold or disseminated to third parties. We do not have the capability or intention of gathering any data that is not used strictly for applying for a roleplaying environment or to be used in one. We do not harvest data about players, their characters, or anything they do outside of their sims.
+Split World Alliance is a social group, club, or collective of interactive writers for the purpose of science fiction and fantasy roll play in a written setting.
-There are only two times a player's data will need to be tracked outside of the roleplaying environment. The first is if they cause such a disturbance that they require a ban across a higher organization, in which case, all Personally Identifiable Information (PII) will remain internal and the ban will be placed in effect. The Second is for awards to the character name from a higher organization for outstanding achievements either inside the roleplaying environment or relating to the enhancement of the overall roleplaying environment as a whole. These actions are public and may be considered a form of documented behavioral analysis. Neither of these actions result in data analytics or user data being disseminated to outside agencies. Users agree to the possibility of both of these actions, should they be relevant to the user, upon joining the site.
+This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data.
-If you are concerned about your data and potential leaks, we recommend creating a secondary email for any roleplaying and use a pseudonym with only an estimate of your birth year when registering. Any data not relating to the roleplaying environment is completely voluntary, including the IP address you register with as VPN technology can give you any country of origin you want.
+We use your data to provide and improve the Service. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms and Conditions, accessible from split-world.com
