How the Information is used

The information is used to enhance the vistor's experience when using the website to display personalised content, and to deliver notifications about the website as requested by the visitor.

Accounts found to be spamming may have their details, including, but not limited to, their registered e-mail address and recently used IP address(es), given to a anti-spam aggregation service for the purpose of preventing further spam.

Information provided may also be used to identify the visitor for administrative purposes, such as, but not limited to, administering additional privileges or administrative bans.

Other than the instance above, E-mail addresses of users will not be sold, rented or leased to 3rd parties.

For the purposes of the above, spamming is defined as:

  1. repeatedly adding irrelevant content to the Wiki; or
  2. linking to external sites containing irrelevant content; or
  3. editing existing pages to add irrelevant content; or
  4. adding content that promotes a commercial activity not explicitly authorised by the Administrator(s); or
  5. any action significantly similar to these items.

Irrelevant content is considered to be:

  1. any content that is not related to the game, Objects in Space; and
  2. any content that is not related to their developer, Flat Earth Games; and
  3. any content area that can be reasonably considered to be of interest to a person playing, developing for, or modifying the game, Objects in Space
