Privacy Policy

Toro-league (the "Server," "we," "us" ) is a server service that provides the website www.toro-league.com (the "Site") and all Site-related services, including, without limitation, social networking, forum and server hosting (collectively, the "Service") solely for playing purposes. We are commited to implementing measure designed to protect the privacy of those using the Service. Although we respect the privacy of all those who visit the Site and use the Service, we do collect certain information. This Privacy Policy governs your interaction with the Site and your registration for and use of the Service. Except as set forth within this Privacy Policy, Game Rules and our Terms of Use.

Please note that the Server reviews its privacy practices from time to time, and that those practices are, therefore, subject to change. If we change a material aspect of this Privacy Policy, you will be notified by our posting the change on the Service and/or in an updated Privacy Policy. Your continued use of the Service after any such changes signifies your acceptance thereof. We ask that you bookmark and periodically review this page to ensure continuing familiarity with the most current version of our Privacy Policy.

Gathered Information

Two types of information are gathered from and regarding users of the Service: Personally identifiable information: In order to take advantage of some of the features of the Site, we require you to register and provide Personal Information. For example, we may collect certain Personal Information if you choose to subscribe to a mailing list, participate in contests, donate or send questions or comments to us via Helpdesk. We only collect personally identifiable information from you on a voluntary basis. You may visit the Site without providing us with any personally identifiable information. However, at certain times while using the Service - for example, when signing up for an account or sending us a form through the helpdesk - we require that you provide us with certain personally identifiable information (including, for example, your full name, and e-mail address). Further, you will be required to provide us or a third party payment service (e.g., Paypal) with your credit card information (including a valid credit card number, expiration date, and shipping and billing addresses) if you wish to donate to the Service. You will be notified each time your personally identifiable information will be collected by a third party payment service (or other third party). If you do not wish to provide your personally identifiable information to any such third party, you may choose to not provide your personally identifiable information at that time. This Privacy Policy itself serves as notice to you that we collect personally identifiable information at certain times during your use of the Service.

Non-personally identifiable information: When you use the Service, we may collect information that will not be able to specifically identify you such as your birthday, and gender. In addition, when you use the Service, we may collect information and aggregate information indicating, among other things, which pages of the Service you visit, the order in which you visit them and which hyperlinks you "click." Collecting such information involves logging your IP address (i.e., the unique number assigned to your computer from your Internet Service Provider ("ISP")) and maybe used to determine your ISP and geographic location of your point of connectivity. Furthermore, in order to sign up for any account, you also are required to provide us with an e-mail address, password and a Forum username. You must also provide your Minecraft username in order to be white-listed. You may also provide non-personally identifiable information to us while participating in the forum and otherwise using the Service which may be retained in our databases.

We may also collect certain demographic information (such as gender or age). In many cases, such information is optional. In other cases, such as online surveys, we collect this information on an anonymous basis. However, if we link any such information to any Personal Information, then such demographics and preferences information will be treated under this Privacy Policy.

We may group this information into aggregate visitor data in order to describe the use of the Site to our existing or potential sponsors, advertisers or other third parties, or in response to a government request. We may also group demographic and preferences information and responses to surveys that we collect from visitors into aggregate data for the same purposes. However, please be assured that this aggregate data will in no way personally identify you or any other visitors to the Site.

We use "cookies" - that is, small text files placed on your computer hard drive. In practical terms, cookies are your identification card for the computers, or servers that placed them there. Cookies are unable to execute any code or virus. Nevertheless, you should be able to control how and whether cookies will be accepted by your web browser software. For more information on how to do so, please refer to the documentation accompanying your browser software. However, please be aware that some features of the Site may not function properly or may be slower if you refuse cookies. You may occasionally get cookies from our advertisers or other third parties with links on the Site. We do not control these cookies. The use of advertising cookies sent by third party ad servers is standard in the Internet industry.

We do no control the acts of the individuals who use the Service. All users should be aware that, when they disclose personally identifiable or other information in a forum, server, social media or other forms of communication while using the Service, the information is being made publicly available and may be collected and used by other users. When you disclose such information, you do so at your own risk. We are not responsible for information that you choose to communicate to other users on the Service, or for the actions of other users. We reserve the right (but shall have no obligation) to monitor your use of the forum, server, social media or other forms of communication. In addition, we reserve the right to use IP addresses and other tracking technologies to identify a visitor only when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with the Site's policies, to protect the Site, our community and others.

Use of the information gathered.

Personally identifiable information: The personally identifiable information that you provide allows us to do a number of things, including allowing us (or third parties) to fulfill your service orders, alerting you to new services, features or updates, and/or handling or routing your support questions or comments.

Pop-up blockers or stoppers prevent extra pop-up windows (usually advertisements) from opening in your browser. Pop-up blocking software often has a negative financial effect on the Server. If you're using a pop-up blocker that allows you to manage a list of "pop-up friendly" sites, we ask you kindly to please add the URL of this Site to your approved list to continue supporting the Server without donating.

Non-personally identifiable information: The server uses non-personally identifiable information in aggregate form to build higher quality, more useful online services by performing statistical analyses of the collective characteristics and behaviour of our users. We also use non-personally identifiable information for security or debugging purposes, technical support and to protect against user abuse. We use cookies to help determine the type of content and pages to which you link, the length of time you spend at any particular area of the Service and/or the parts of the Service that you choose to access or use. Cookies also tell us which advertisements you have seen. We may provide statistical information based on the this non-personally identifiable information or data to advertisers, and affiliates. We may also use this information to inform these parties as to the number of users who have seen and/or clicked on links to their web sites. We also combine your non-personally identifiable information with your personally identifiable information for these purposes.

Security: We intend to take reasonable and appropriate steps to protect the Personal Information that you share with us from unauthorized access or disclosure. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your Personal Information and privacy, you understand that we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you disclose or transmit to us online and cannot be responsible for the theft, destruction, or inadvertent disclosure of your Personal Information.

If you create an Account on the Site, you may be asked to choose a password for your Account, in which case your online account information shall be protected by your password. We recommend that you do not disclose your password to any other person. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or Account.

If you use our social networking features on the Site or other public venue on the Site, you will be identified on those venues by the name you submit. Please be aware that the name you choose to provide will be viewable by all users of our forum or other public venues, so please use caution when choosing your name or providing any profile information. Information that you provide on blogs, message boards or other similar venues may also be viewable by the general Internet public. We cannot be responsible for any Personal Information you choose to post in public venues, and we recommend careful consideration before posting such information.

Illegal Activities: We reserve the right to release and/or use all the information contained within our databases, access logs or other records concerning you if you violate our Terms of Use, Game Rules, Agreement or other rules, policies, notices, or agreements, or intentionally or unintentionally partake (or are reasonable suspect of partaking) in any illegal activity, and to release such information in response to court and governmental orders, civil subpoenas and as otherwise required by the law, and/or to initiate our own legal proceedings. We cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who may be using the Service (or any part thereof) for illegal activities. We also reserve the right to report any suspicious or suspected illegal activity to law enforcement individuals or entities for investigation.

Changing or deleting Personal Information

If you would like to have your personally identifiable information removed from our databases, please contact our Helpdesk by filling out a form on the Site. Keep in mind, however, that there will be residual information that will remain within our databases, access logs and other records, which may or may not contain such personally identifiable information. The residual information will be used to protect the integrity of the Service and help prevent hackers from abusing the Service. The residual information will not be used by us for commercial purposes.

Children

We do not knowingly collect or store personally identifiable information from children (defined herein as minors younger than thirteen (13) years of age). The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act imposes certain requirements on websites directed toward children under 13 that collect information on those children, or on websites that know they are collecting personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. We want to let you know that it currently is our policy not to collect such data and we request that children not submit any Personal Information to us via the Site. As one measure to ensure that we do not gather personally identifiable information from children, we require that all individuals accept our Terms of Use, which states explicitly that users of the Site and Service must be either eighteen (18) years of age or older (or the legal age to form a binding contract in the user's jurisdiction if that age is greater than 18), or must be thirteen (13) years of age or older and be using the Site and Service with parental permission. Children under the age of 13 years old are prohibited from creating their own account; however, we do allow children under the age of thirteen (13) years old to use the Site and Service under the specific circumstances that they do so under the strict guidance and supervision of their parents or guardian and only when using their parent's or guardian's Service account. Given that we will be unable to ascertain whether an adult or child is using the Site or Service, it will be assumed that by allowing your child to use your Service account, you have given them specific permission to do so. Also, it is assumed by us that by allowing your child the use of your Service account that you will also supervise, monitor and scrutinize their activity on the Service or Site and make sure that they provide no Personal Information when on the Site and Service. If we learn that we have inadvertently gathered personally identifiable information from children under 13, we will attempt to notify such child's parent or guardian as the owner of the account and erase such information from our records; however, we reserve the right to retain system information from those children under 13 who have created an account in violation of our Terms of Use for the sole purpose of blocking their access to the Service.

If you are the parent of guardian of a child who is under the age of eighteen (18) that has created their own account (if they are between the ages of 13 and 18) or is authorized by you to use your account (if they are under the age of 13), we urge you to instruct your child to NEVER give our his or her real name, address, phone number or other personally identifiable information while using the Service. Children under the age of eighteen (18) should encourage their parents or guardian to review this policy and to contact us if they have any questions. Children under the age of thirteen (13) years old should never attempt to register for an account and should never otherwise access this Site or Service without the unequivocal permission of their parents or guardian.

Contests

If and when we hold contests in conjunction with the Service, we will post relevant privacy information in the official rules and/or registration area for the contest. That privacy information, to the extent it conflicts with this Privacy Policy, will govern that particular contest.

Website Links

The Site may contain links to other Internet websites which may or may not be controlled by the Server. Unless otherwise explicitly stated, we are not responsible for the actions or the privacy practices or the content of such websites, including such sites' use of any information (such as IP number, browser type or operating system) collected when users of our Service click through links to those websites. Even though such information might not identify you personally, we strongly encourage you to become familiar with the privacy practices of those sites.

Changes to the Privacy Policy

The terms of this Privacy Policy may change from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes to this Privacy Policy by posting a notice on the homepage of the Site for a reasonable period of time after such changes are made that this Privacy Policy has been updated, and by changing the "Last Updated" date at the bottom of this Privacy Policy. We again encourage you to check this page periodically for any changes. Your continued use of the Site following the posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes.
