FreeSpace Wiki:Privacy policy

This article documents the FreeSpace Wiki's Privacy Policy.

There are two versions of the Privacy Policy: a human-readable version, as well as the policy in its full text.

Human-Readable Version

Hard Light Productions is the current owner of the FreeSpace Wiki, and whatever happens on the FreeSpace Wiki stays on the FreeSpace Wiki.

Any information you provide to us is used only for the purposes of:

1. Providing enhanced functionality of the site.
2. Verifying the authenticity of any contributions you make to the FreeSpace Wiki.
3. Ensuring that you are a non-malicious human/robot who is contributing to the FreeSpace Wiki.

Unless legally obligated to by a court of law, Hard Light Productions will not divulge or process any personal information you provide on the FreeSpace Wiki for any reasons other than the purposes mentioned above.

This policy is updated whenever the timestamp at the bottom of this page changes, but if we think the update is major enough, we will create a thread on the Hard Light Productions Forums about it.
