Effective Date: May 09, 2018
This Privacy Policy applies to the NordInvasion owned and operated websites and its subdomains, including but not limited to, game servers, game database, forums and wikisite ("Sites"). We are a community of volunteers who develop and maintain NordInvasion as a hobby and we always strive to provide the best service possible to our community and players. In light of the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") coming into effect, we are taking the opportunity to formalise our approach to our players' personal information.
This Privacy Policy explains what information of yours will be collected by NordInvasion when you access the Sites, how the information will be used, and how you can control the collection, correction and/or deletion of information. We will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy does not apply to information we collect by other means (including offline) or from other sources. The use of information collected through our Sites shall be limited to the purposes under this Privacy Policy.
Information We Collect
We may collect personally identifiable information about you, such as your name, email address, or similar, when you register for an account. We do not send any promotional emails; however, we may send you service related emails related to your account in extraordinary circumstances. If you do not wish to receive these emails, you may opt out of them by deleting your account. When using the forum, you may opt to receive emails related to boards/topics. This is controlled only by you, and can be reviewed through your user control panel on the forum.
Technologies such as cookies, beacons, tags and scripts are used by NordInvasion. These technologies may be used in analysing trends, administering the Sites, tracking users' movements around the Sites and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. Users can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level. If you reject cookies, you may still use our Sites, but your ability to use some features or areas of our Sites may be limited.
Log file information is automatically reported by your browser each time you access our Sites. For example, when you access our Sites, our servers automatically record certain information that your web browser sends whenever you visit any website. These server logs may include information such as your operating system, browser type, referring / exit pages and URLs, number of clicks, domain names, landing pages, pages viewed and other such information. We do not link this automatically-collected data to personally identifiable information.
IP addresses are automatically logged by our Sites when you access our Sites. This information is tracked for the purpose of enforcing our terms of gameplay, maintaining security of player accounts and our Sites, and preventing circumvention of any bans from our Sites. This information may be used in conjunction with any other information held by NordInvasion to ensure compliance with our terms of gameplay.
We use technologies to monitor the performance of our services. Personally Identifiable information may be stored with these third parties for the stated purpose only. It may be necessary to contact you if something has occurred that we feel you either need to be made aware of, or may have information which could assist us.
An individual who is a current or former NordInvasion player who seeks access or wishes to correct, amend or delete inaccurate data should direct their query to hypernoma@nordinvasion.com. If we receive a request under this provision, we will acknowledge it within a reasonable timeframe and handle it promptly.
We will retain personal data we process on behalf of our players for as long as needed to provide our services. NordInvasion will retain this personal information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our terms of gameplay.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information that we collect to operate and maintain our Sites, and to enhance the service that we provide to our players.
How We Share Your Information
Personally Identifiable Information: NordInvasion will not rent or sell your personally identifiable information to others. We may store personal information in locations outside the direct control of NordInvasion (for instance, on servers or databases co-located with hosting providers). Any personally identifiable information you elect to make publicly available on our Sites, such as posting comments on our forum page, will be available to others. If you remove information that you have made public on our Sites, copies may remain viewable in cached and archived pages of our Sites, or if other users have copied or saved that information. Our forum is managed by a third party application that requires you to register to post a comment (mybb.com). To learn how the third party application uses your information, please review their privacy policy.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information: NordInvasion will not rent or sell your non-personally identifiable information (such as anonymous usage data, referring/exit pages and URLs, platform types, number of clicks, etc.) to others. If you choose to publish such results on our Sites, you understand and agree that this information, along with any personally identifiable information you choose to make available in connection with such results, will be made publicly available. By publishing your results on our Sites, you agree that you have obtained all necessary consents to make such information public and that doing so will not violate any laws. If you remove information that you have made public on our Sites, copies may remain viewable in cached and archived pages of our Sites, or if other users have copied or saved that information. Non-personally identifiable information may be stored indefinitely.
Instances Where We Are Required To Share Your Information: NordInvasion will disclose your information where required to do so by law, if subject to court summons, subpoena or other legal proceeding or if we reasonably believe that such action is necessary to (a) comply with the law and the reasonable requests of the courts and/or law enforcement; (b) to enforce our terms of gameplay or to protect the security or integrity of our service; and/or © to exercise or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of NordInvasion, our users or others.
Storage and Processing
Your information collected through the use of NordInvasion Sites may be stored and processed in the United States, Europe, or any other country in which NordInvasion or its service providers maintain facilities. Please note that we will not transfer information, including personal information, to a country and jurisdiction that does not have equivalent data protection laws to your jurisdiction.
How We Protect Your Information
NordInvasion is concerned with protecting your privacy and data, but we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to NordInvasion or guarantee that your information on the NordInvasion Sites may not be accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed by breach of any of our safeguards. When you enter sensitive information (such as log in credentials) on our Sites, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). No method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If you have any questions about security on our Site, you can contact us at hypernoma@nordinvasion.com.
In the event that personal information is compromised as a breach of security, NordInvasion will promptly notify our players in compliance with applicable law.
Our Choices About Your Information
For current NordInvasion players, you can review, correct, update or delete inaccuracies to the information about you that NordInvasion keeps on file by logging into your account to update your details. Alternatively (and for former NordInvasion players), you can contact us directly at hypernoma@nordinvasion.com. We will acknowledge your request within a reasonable period and handle it promptly. We will retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our terms of gameplay.
Children's Privacy
Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important. For that reason, NordInvasion does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 15 (or the applicable age for your jurisdiction under Art.8(1) GDPR). By using any of our Sites, players are deemed to self certify that they are of the requisite age of consent under their jurisdiction's enactment of the GDPR. In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under the age of 15, we will delete that information as quickly as possible (subject to the below). If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under 15, please contact us at hypernoma@nordinvasion.com.
If any player is under the age of 15, access to our sites can be granted by the provision of parental or guardian consent to the storing of person information regarding the child under the age 15. If you seek to provide parental or guardian consent for a child under the age of 15, please contact hypernoma@nordinvasion.com.
Notification Procedures
It is our policy to provide notifications, whether such notifications are required by law or other business related purposes, to you via email, or through conspicuous posting of such notice on the Sites, as determined by NordInvasion in its sole discretion. We reserve the right to determine the form and means of providing notifications to you, provided that you may opt out of certain means of notification as described in this Privacy Policy.
Links to Other Web Sites
We are not responsible for the practices employed by websites or services linked to or from the NordInvasion Sites, including the information or content contained therein. Please remember that when you use a link to go from the our Sites to another website or service, our Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party websites or services. Your browsing and interaction on any third-party website or service, including those that have a link on our website, are subject to that third party’s own rules and policies.
Our Site includes social media features, such as the Facebook Like button and other widgets, that run on our Site. These features may collect your IP address and which page you are visiting on our Site, and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Social media features and widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Site. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the organisation providing it.
