Privacy Policy

Your privacy is critically important to us. At Vostopia we have a few fundamental principles:

• We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can’t stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)
• We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
• We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of one of our services.

Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these goals:

(Note, we have based this privacy policy on Automattic’s, which is available under a Creative Commons Sharealike license. This means means you’re more than welcome to steal this one and repurpose it for your own use, just make sure to replace references to us with ones to you.)

If you have questions about accessing or correcting your personal data please contact our support team.

Vostopia.com AS (“Vostopia”) operates the website vostopia.com. It is Vostopia’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Vostopia 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. Vostopia’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Vostopia’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Vostopia may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Vostopia also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on the vostopia.com website. Vostopia 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 website commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the vostopia.com website.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Vostopia’s websites choose to interact with Vostopia in ways that require Vostopia to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Vostopia gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for an account at vostopia.com to provide a username and email address. In each case, Vostopia collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Vostopia. Vostopia 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

Vostopia may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Vostopia may monitor the most popular games on the vostopia.com site or to monitor the most popular avatar items. Vostopia may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Vostopia does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Vostopia 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 Vostopia’s behalf or to provide services available at Vostopia’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 Vostopia’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Vostopia 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, Vostopia discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena or court order, or when Vostopia believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Vostopia, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Vostopia website and have supplied your email address, Vostopia 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 Vostopia and our products. If you send us a request (for example via a support 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. Vostopia takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
