At FsPortal, we take our members privacy extremely seriously, and many safeguards
are in place in order to eliminate the risk of any personal information being
publicly accessable. However, in order to give the richest user experience,
certain personal information for each of our members and visitors are kept.
When visiting the site, some personally identifiable information (such as IP
address) is stored temporarily on our database server, in order to track who
is visiting at any given time. Within 6 hours of leaving the site, this information
will be destroyed.
When registering an account, your personal information (name, email address,
date of birth etc) is stored on our database server, along with an encrypted
version of your password. In the unlikely case that someone was able to view
our database readouts (which are safeguarded by passworded encryption), they
would be able to see your personal information, however your password will always
remain safe.
Any member or visitor of FsPortal is able to view your personal profile page
(you can view this yourself by clicking on your name in the "User Tray").
This contains some personal information, but you can change what is shown in
your "User Preferences" section, and even turn off your profile if
you do not wish for others to see it
Some areas of FsPortal require a "cookie"
to be stored in order to keep your preferences between visiting sessions. These
are stored locally on your computer, and cannot be viewed by anyone else. See
your browser manual for instructions on how to view stored cookies.
From time to time, FsPortal may wish to send you emails about upcoming events,
or special offers on the site. If you do not wish to recieve these, please indicate
this in your User Preferences page.
If you win a competition at FsPortal, your personal information may have to
be passed on to the participating vendor(s). If you do not wish for this to
happen, please do not enter any competition with a 3rd party prize offered.
If you have any concerns about your privacy, please email info@fsportal.net,
and we will do our best to assist you in your query.
