What information is collected, and how it's used by GoBoardz
- Information you provide to GoBoardz - When you sign up for a GoBoardz account, we ask for a valid email address. Your email address is our means of contacting you in the event that there is a problem with your account or forum. It is also a means for you to reset your lost or forgotten GoBoardz password. Email addresses provided to GoBoardz are never sold or supplied to 3rd parties for any reason.
- GoBoardz Cookies - GoBoardz uses browser cookies in order to identify you when you're logged in to the website. GoBoardz requires a cookie-enabled browser in order to log in and post on the GoBoardz forums. However, cookies are not required if you are just browsing any part of the website. No personal information is stored in the cookies.
- GoBoardz Server Logs - When you use our forums, our servers automatically record information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website. These server logs may include information such as your web request, Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser.
- User Feedback - When you submit any kind of feedback or communications to GoBoardz, we may retain your communications in order to process your inquiries, respond to your requests and improve the GoBoardz service.
GoBoardz only processes personal information for the following purposes:
- Providing our service to users, including the display of customized content and advertising;
- Auditing, research and analysis in order to maintain, protect and improve our service;
- Ensuring the technical functioning of our network; and
- Developing new services.
Choices for personal information
When you sign up for a GoBoardz account, we ask you to provide personal information. If we use this information in a manner different than the purpose for which it was collected, then we will ask for your consent prior to such use.
If we propose to use personal information for any purposes other than those described in this Policy, we will offer you an effective way to opt out of the use of personal information for those other purposes. We will not collect or use sensitive information for purposes other than those described in this Policy, unless we have obtained your prior consent.
You can decline to submit personal information to any of our services, in which case GoBoardz may not be able to provide those services to you.
Information sharing
GoBoardz only shares personal information with other companies or individuals outside of GoBoardz in the following limited circumstances:
- We have a good faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to (a) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request, (b) enforce applicable Terms of Service, including investigation of potential violations thereof, (c) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues, or (d) protect against imminent harm to the rights, property or safety of GoBoardz, its users or the public as required or permitted by law.
If GoBoardz becomes involved in a merger, acquisition, or any form of sale of some or all of its assets, we will provide notice before personal information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
Please contact us using the feedback link below for any additional questions about the management or use of personal data.
Enforcement
GoBoardz regularly reviews its compliance with this Policy. Please feel free to direct any questions or concerns regarding this Policy or GoBoardz's treatment of personal information by contacting us through this web site using the feedback link at the bottom of this page. When we receive formal written complaints at this website, it is GoBoardz's policy to contact the complaining user regarding his or her concerns. We will cooperate with the appropriate regulatory authorities, including local data protection authorities, to resolve any complaints regarding the transfer of personal data that cannot be resolved between GoBoardz and an individual.
Changes to this policy
Please note that this Privacy Policy may change from time to time. We will not reduce your rights under this Policy without your explicit consent, and we expect most such changes will be minor. Regardless, we will post any Policy changes on this page and, if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice (including email notification of Policy changes). Each version of this Policy will be identified at the top of the page by its effective date, and we will also keep prior versions of this Privacy Policy in an archive for your review.
