Protection of your privacy is of utmost importance at 3D7 Software. This document describes the policy we have for data collection and storage at this site. By using this Website, you consent to the terms of this privacy policy.  Sites other than http://3d7software.org are not covered by this policy.

Information Collection and Storage

1. Collected Traffic Information

In order to provide you with the content in which you are most interested, we will collect anonymous page traffic information.  We will record when you have visited a page on the site, how long you visited it, the amount of bandwidth used to send it to you, and how many times you returned to it.  We will also record from what country you visited the page as well as your IP address.  The name of your operating system and your Internet browser will be recorded in addition to various multimedia support capabilities of your Internet Browser.  If you linked to the 3D7 Software Website from another site, its URL will be recorded. A search phrase used to find the 3D7 Software site and the name of the Internet search service may also be recorded.  No information beyond what is stated here will be collected automatically. All of this information is kept secure and is only visible to the 3D7 Software site developers.

2. Discussion Board Member Information

What is a Cookie?
A "cookie" is a piece of information that is used to store small amounts of information on your computer. Websites use them to restore previous site settings when you visit later.

This information relates to the 3D7 Software site discussion boards available here.

Forum Usage

By viewing the discussion boards you agree to have information regarding which posts you have viewed stored on your computer in a cookie. This information is used to determine if there are posts you have not yet read when you return to the discussion boards. While using the discussion board, you will start a session with the board server and it will be maintained for one hour. The session can be used to track your usage of the discussion board.

Discussion Board Membership

When you sign up for membership on the discussion boards, you are required to provide registration information, profile information, and preferences. We will keep the registration information strictly secret and it will not be available to anyone but you and the discussion board administrators at 3D7 Software. The e-mail address is used only for confirming your registration details and password (and for sending new passwords should you forget your current one) The profile information will be available to anyone who visits the discussion boards, so do not provide any information here that you do not want to be available to anyone. The preferences you set will only be available to you and the discussion board administrators at 3D7 Software.

When logging into the discussion board, your password will be encrypted using MD5 encryption. It will not be decrypted ever, nor is it computationally feasible to decrypt your password. Your password will also be stored in an encrypted form so it will not be retrievable by anyone at 3D7 Software.

Posts

All posts will be stored securely in a database on the Website server and they will be available to the public via the discussion board interface. If you do submit contact information on the discussion boards it is susceptible to SPAM (unsolicited e-mail) proliferators. Do not submit private information to the discussion boards. Your computer's IP address will be recorded for each post you make in order to track anyone who makes a post that does not comply with the terms of use agreement.

3. Custom Site Settings

The 3D7 Software Website has a feature that allows you to choose the visual site theme that you prefer. The theme selection you make will be saved on your computer using a cookie (unless you do not have cookies enabled). The theme selection is set to be saved on your computer for a maximum of 30 days.

4. Other Information

3D7 Software may occasionally develop an optional survey for you to take. That information would be handled as specified by the survey. Any information beyond what is stated here will only be collected upon your consent.

Sharing of Private Information

3D7 Software will not share any of the private information collected (as described above) with anyone outside of 3D7 Software unless you are explicitly notified before providing the information. We do not provide any information to advertisement companies or those who send unsolicited e-mail, or any other organization besides 3D7 Software. If we ever need to release information about your discussion board membership profiles, we will contact you beforehand granted that you have provided valid contact information, otherwise, we will never release this membership information.
