======Privacy Policy======

This is the //Ventures// Privacy Policy, and is designed to inform you as to how the GM team looks after your personal information before, during, and after the game takes place. This includes information of any kind provided through any medium.

=====Responsibility=====

The members of the //Ventures// [[start:gm_npcs|GM Team]] are collectively responsible for the personal information we collect about you. You can contact us at [[gm@ventures.oxfordrpg.com]] if you have any questions about our use of your personal information or if you would like to know what information we have about you.

===== Consent =====

This policy makes use of the concept of 'explicit consent', which means:

  * You are fully informed of the how and why we are collecting your personal information.
  * You are fully informed of who will be able to see your personal information once we hold it.
  * Your consent is given explicitly, and not implied from your actions.
  * Your consent may be withdrawn at any time for any reason.
  * You always have the right to refuse to give us your personal information or to withdraw your consent for us to hold it at any time, though in some circumstances not giving us your personal information or withdrawing consent for us to use it may make participating in the game difficult or even impossible. We will let you know if this is the case.

Please note that your IP address and usage data about how you use the wiki are collected automatically. We will try to delete this on request.

=====What information we may collect=====

    *Your real name and personal pronouns.
    *Photographs of you (optionally).
    *Any specific accessibility requirements you inform us about.
    *Your IP address.
    *Your Discord account name.
    *Usage data about how you use the wiki.
    *Your out-of-character email addresses if you send us an email.

We will not collect any information in relation to any other sensitive information about you, such as your political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, sexual orientation, criminal convictions, etc.

=====How we collect it=====

Most of the information we collect is explicitly provided by you. We may bring a camera to a game session to collect photos, but we will ask your permission first. Your IP address and wiki usage data are automatically recorded when you use the website.

=====How we use it=====

Your name, pronouns, and photograph (if provided) will be used to identify and refer to you on the wiki. These will be listed publicly with your character bio. Your name will usually be listed in the form of a first name and initial.

The wiki usage data may be used for maintaining the website in case of issues.

=====Who has access=====

Apart from the information noted above to be public, we will refrain from sharing your personal information with anyone other than the companies whose services we use to run the website and mail system. Vultr host the server that the wiki system runs on, so they have access to all of the wiki contents and usage data and email contents and metadata. Vultr promises not to use this data except for the purpose of providing the services we use them for. The MailDragon system is maintained by, and accessible to, the OURPGSoc Website/Mailing List Rep. Contact details for the Website/Mailing List Rep and the rest of the committee may be found at [[https://oxfordrpg.com/committee.shtml|the OURPGSoc Website]].
