Privacy Policy

Last Updated 06-07-2018

Chaotic United's operation acts independently of any third party organization, with the exception of some services being maintained and managed in the backend by Errite Games (and formerly Ruletech Games). It is our commitment to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Chaotic United collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Chaotic United's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Chaotic United's visitors use its website. From time to time, Chaotic United may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Chaotic United also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on chaoticunited.net blogs/sites. Chaotic United only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Chaotic United's websites choose to interact with Chaotic United in ways that require Chaotic United to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Chaotic United gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up at chaoticunited.net to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with Chaotic United are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Chaotic United collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction with Chaotic United. Chaotic United does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics
Chaotic United may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. Chaotic United may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Chaotic United does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Chaotic United discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Chaotic United's behalf or to provide services available at Chaotic United's websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Chaotic United's websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Chaotic United will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Chaotic United discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Chaotic United believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Chaotic United, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Chaotic United website and have supplied your email address, Chaotic United may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what's going on with Chaotic United and our products. If you send us a request (for example via email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Chaotic United takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Cookies
A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor's computer, and that the visitor's browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Chaotic United uses cookies to help Chaotic United identify and track visitors, their usage of Chaotic United website, and their website access preferences. Chaotic United visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Chaotic United's websites, with the drawback that certain features of Chaotic United's websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

 

Account Deletion
A user may request to have their account data removed from the website. Information such as their last display name cannot be removed from the website, but any personal account information may be removed at any time per user request.

 

Obtaining Copies of Stored Data
The data collected by us is never anything beyond that which can be viewed on the forum content, or in a user's account settings pages. A copy of the data can be given to the user per-request.


Privacy Policy Changes
Although most changes are likely to be minor, Chaotic United may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in Chaotic United's sole discretion. Chaotic United encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. If you have a chaoticunited.net account, you might also receive an alert informing you of these changes. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.

California Online Privacy Protection Act
 
CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law's reach stretches well beyond California to require a person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting personally identifiable information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals with whom it is being shared, and to comply with this policy. - See more at: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf

According to CalOPPA we agree to the following:
Users can visit our site anonymously
Once this privacy policy is created, we will add a link to it on our home page, or as a minimum on the first significant page after entering our website.
Our Privacy Policy link includes the word 'Privacy', and can be easily be found on the page specified above.

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)
 
When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under 13, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, the nation's consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children's privacy and safety online.
 
We do not specifically market to children under 13.
 
Fair Information Practices
 
The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.
 
In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:
We will notify the users via email
      • Within 7 business days
We will notify the users via in site notification
      • Within 1 business day

We also agree to the individual redress principle, which requires that individuals have a right to pursue legally enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or a government agency to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.
 
CAN SPAM Act
 
The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.

      • Send information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions.

Third Parties

Google Analytics
Google Analytics is a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google utilizes the Data collected to track and examine the use of this website, to prepare reports on its activities and share them with other Google services.
Spam Defense
The IPS Spam Defense Service passes the email address and IP address of the registering member to the service to determine the likelihood a registering account is a spam source.
hCaptcha
We use the hCaptcha anti-bot service (hereinafter "hCaptcha") on our website. This service is provided by Intuition Machines, Inc., a Delaware US Corporation ("IMI"). hCaptcha is used to check whether the data entered on our website (such as on a login page or contact form) has been entered by a human or by an automated program. To do this, hCaptcha analyzes the behavior of the website or mobile app visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the website or mobile app visitor enters a part of the website or app with hCaptcha enabled. For the analysis, hCaptcha evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, how long the visitor has been on the website or app, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis will be forwarded to IMI. hCaptcha analysis in the "invisible mode" may take place completely in the background. Website or app visitors are not advised that such an analysis is taking place if the user is not shown a challenge. Data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (DSGVO): the website or mobile app operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its site from abusive automated crawling and spam. IMI acts as a "data processor" acting on behalf of its customers as defined under the GDPR, and a "service provider" for the purposes of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). For more information about hCaptcha and IMI's privacy policy and terms of use, please visit the following links: https://www.hcaptcha.com/privacy and https://www.hcaptcha.com/terms.
