Privacy Policy

Principles of the Roleplay Haven Privacy Policy

We don't ask you for personal information unless we truly need it.

We don't share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, to provide a service you have requested, or to protect our rights.

We don't store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of one of our services.

What This Privacy Policy Covers

This privacy policy governs the use of the Roleplay Haven web site at http://www.roleplayhaven.net/

It covers how Roleplay Haven treats personal information -- that is, personally identifiable like your name, address, email address, or phone number.

Children under 18 are not permitted to use the Roleplay Haven service, and so this privacy policy makes no provision for children's use of the site.

General Information

Roleplay Haven collects personal information when you register to use Roleplay Haven services or to post content on Roleplay Haven.

When you register, we ask for your email address.

Roleplay Haven receives and records information on our server logs from your browser, including your IP address, cookie, and the page you request in order to operate the Roleplay Haven service.

IP Addresses

IP Addresses are automatically reported by your browser each time you view a web page.

IP addresses may be used for various purposes, including:

To diagnose or service technology problems reported by our users or engineers that are associated with the IP addresses controlled by a specific web company or ISP.

To tailor advertising based on geographic area or other information derived from your IP address. Aggregate information derived from IP addresses may also be reported to advertisers.

To make sure that people are not voting for themselves or friends during contests or promotions.

Cookies

A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier, that is sent to your browser from a web site's computers and stored on your computer's hard drive.

You can configure your browser to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or notify you when a cookie is set.

If you reject all cookies, you will not be able to use Roleplay Haven or services that require you to "sign in," and you may not be able to take full advantage of the Roleplay Haven service.

Roleplay Haven uses its own cookies for a number of purposes, including to:

Access your information when you "sign in".

Keep track of preferences you specify while you are using Roleplay Haven's services.

Store credentials you may use to enable posting to other sites.

Estimate and report our total audience size and traffic.

Conduct research to improve MyVidster's content and services.

Roleplay Haven may let other companies (such as Google) that show advertisements on some of our pages set and access their cookies on your computer. Other entities' use of their cookies is subject to their own privacy policies, not this one. Advertisers or other entities do not have access to Roleplay Haven's cookies.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

Any personal information or video content that you voluntarily disclose online (on collections, in reviews and discusion areas, and within your public profile page, etc.) becomes publicly available and can be collected and used by others. Your account name (not your email address) is displayed to other users when you upload videos or send messages through the Roleplay Haven Sites and other users can contact you through messages and comments.

We do not use your email address or other personally identifiable information to send marketing messages unless you've opted in to receive such messages. We may, however, use your email address without further consent for non-marketing or administrative purposes (such as notifying you of major Roleplay Haven Site changes, alerting you to messages from other Roleplay Haven members, or for customer service purposes).

When you post a comment or message, upload video, start a collection, or engage in other public activities on the Roleplay Haven service, your Roleplay Haven ID or alias that you are posting under is visible to other users.

If you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return. Roleplay Haven does not rent or sell your personal information.

Roleplay Haven will not share personal information about you with other people or other companies without your consent except to provide products or services you've requested and in the following circumstances:

Roleplay Haven may be required to disclose personally identifiable information under special circumstances, such as to comply with subpoenas, warrants, court orders or legal process or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims;

It may be necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities, including without limitation, fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of Roleplay Haven's terms of use, or as otherwise permitted or required by law.We will transfer information about you if Roleplay Haven is acquired by or merged with another company.

In this event, Roleplay Haven will notify you by email or by putting a prominent notice on the Roleplay Haven web site before information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy. No personally identifiable information will ever be used without your permission (i.e. we will ask you for a quote or testimonial)

We may release personally identifiable information and/or non-personally-identifiable information if required to do so by law, or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with state and federal laws (such as U.S. Copyright Law) or respond to a court order, subpoena, or search warrant.

Roleplay Haven also reserves the right to disclose personally identifiable information and/or non-personally-identifiable information that Roleplay Haven believes, in good faith, is appropriate or necessary to enforce our Member Agreement, take precautions against liability, to investigate and defend itself against any third-party claims or allegations, to assist government enforcement agencies, to protect the security or integrity of our web site, and to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Roleplay Haven, our users or others.
