This Privacy Policy, along with our Cookie Policy, Do Not Track Policy, and Your California Privacy Rights page, define in full how the Service collects, manages and processes an Individual's personal information.

USS Hephaistos takes the privacy of its members seriously, and shall take steps in order to protect that privacy. Sim members should be able to expect a certain measure of privacy, both of their personal data and communications. The Sim will not tolerate illegal access or sharing of such information.

Private communications are to be accessible, modifiable, or shareable only be the sender and the recipient(s). Only the sender and recipient(s) are permitted to share these communications with others. Communications pertaining to Sim business will be shared with the appropriate parties for the purpose of conducting said Sim business, but must be treated as private communications for parties other than the Fleet, original sender, and original recipient(s). Accessing, modifying, or sharing communications without the permission of these parties, whatever the means, are grounds for immediate expulsion from the Sim. This does not apply to public communications, such as posts, logs, news items, or Fleet announcements.

The access, modification, or sharing of personal data, including contact data such as emails and IP addresses, provided to the Sim for administrative purposes of the Sim and communications required for the operation of the Sim, for reasons other than conducting Fleet business, is prohibited without permission of the person of whom the data belongs.

Members must be made aware of any and all personal data that is collected by USS Hephaistos, and have the right to request removal of that personal data. See the Cookie Policy for more information.
