This is the Work In Progress Privacy Policy, and is designed to inform you as to how the GM team looks after your personal information before, during and after the game takes place. This includes information of any kind provided through any medium.

The members of the Work In Progress GM team are collectively responsible for your personal information.

If you have any questions about this policy or our privacy practices, or would like an explanation as to any aspect of it, please contact Jaycee or, if you wish to do so privately, via her personal email.

This policy makes use of the concept of 'explicit consent', which means:

• You are fully-informed of the how and why we are collecting your personal information.

• You are fully-informed of who will be able to see your personal information once we hold it.

• Your consent is given explicitly, and not implied from your actions.

• Your consent may be withdrawn at any time for any reason.

You always have the right to refuse to give us your personal information or to withdraw your consent for us to hold it at any time, though in some circumstances not giving us your personal information or withdrawing consent for us to use it may make participating in the game difficult or even impossible. We will let you know if this is the case.

Please note that your IP address and usage data about how you use the wiki are collected automatically. We will delete this on request.

This wiki uses DokuWiki software, as well as a number of extensions freely available online:

List of Extensions

We have made every effort to check that they will only handle your personal information in accordance with this policy.

In addition, the wiki uses a number of extensions that have been developed by members of the Oxford University Role Playing Game Society and which are not freely available online. These only handle your personal information in accordance with this policy.

In this policy, personal information refers to any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include information where the identity has been removed or obscured.

We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal information about you:

• Your real name and personal pronouns.

• Your out of character email addresses.

• Your in character email address, which is assigned to you on the creation of a user account.

• Your contributions and edits to the wiki.

• Your emails sent via the in character email system, whether or not from an in character email address.

• Any specific accessibility requirements you may have.

• Your IP address.

• Usage data about how you use the wiki.

There are certain types of sensitive information relating to your identity which we might ask you for, and we will always ask for your explicit consent when taking such information:

We may collect identifiable information in relation to your gender identity due to requesting information about your personal pronouns. We will ask your explicit consent to hold such information, explaining why we want to know them and where they will be used. We will not collect any information in relation to your gender identity in any other form.

We may collect identifiable information in relation to your health due to requesting information about any accessibility requirements that you may have. We will ask your explicit consent to hold such information, explaining why we want to know it. We will not collect any information in relation to your health in any other form.

We may collect identifiable information in relation to your race and ethnicity due to taking photographs of you during the course of the game. We will always ask your explicit consent each time, explaining why we want to take it and where it will be used. We will not collect any information in relation to your race and ethnicity in any other form.

We will not collect any information in relation to any other sensitive information about you, such as your political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, sexual orientation, criminal convictions etc.

We use different methods to collect information from and about you.

You may give us your real name, out of character email addresses or other personal information by adding such content to the wiki or through emailing us. This includes personal information you provide when applying to join the game or modifying your profile.

As you use the wiki, we will automatically collect your IP address and usage data about how you use the wiki. Such data is automatically collected by the DokuWiki software which hosts this wiki.

We require your explicit consent in order to handle your personal information, which must directly pertain to the use in question. Please note that we will respond to any emails you send us that contain personal information before you join the game, but we will not use your personal information in any other way until you have given us explicit consent to do so.

We may collect your IP address and usage data about how you use the wiki automatically, but only so far as is necessary for administrating or moderating the wiki. We will delete such data upon request.

Below is a description of all the ways we plan to handle your personal information, and we will request explicit consent for all them upon receiving your application to join the game, with the exception of Photographs and Accessibility Requirements where we will request your explicit consent each time they become relevant.

Your real name is held for the purpose of ourselves and other players being able to identify you on the wiki. It will be displayed on various pages visible to us, and visible to anyone on your in character bio on the Characters page. By default, it will be displayed as your given name followed by the first initial of your surname (except in cases where this does not uniquely identify you, in which case we will use only as much of your surname as necessary to distinguish you). You may request that we display your real name in any way you wish, but we ask that it is in a form in which you would plausibly introduce yourself to other players.

Your personal pronouns are held for the purpose of ensuring that we and other players address you correctly and to maintain your comfort while playing the game. They will be displayed on various pages visible to us, and visible to anyone on your in character bio on the Characters page.

Your out of character email addresses will be held only for the creation of an account on the wiki and for the functionality of the in character email system. They will only be visible to us.

Your in character email address is assigned to you by us for the purposes of the in character email system. It will be displayed on various pages visible to us, and visible to anyone on your in character bio on the Characters page. Only those with a wiki account such as ourselves and players will be able to contact you through this means, and attempts to email an in character email from an email address not associated with a wiki account will bounce (except in the case of emailing the GMs).

Your emails to individual GMs or other in character email addresses are held so that we are fully informed of the progress of the game, as well as any issues that may arise. They will be visible to ourselves and to the recipient who will be either a player or GM. Any email to such an email address will appear to have come from your in character email (except in the case of an email to the GMs from an email address not associated with a wiki account). However, as you will have sent this from one of your out of character email addresses, other metadata contained in the email may be visible to the recipient, such as the name associated with it.

Your photograph may be taken for the purpose of ourselves and other players being able to identify you on the wiki. It will be displayed in the Media Manager and on your in character bio on the Characters page, and visible to ourselves and other players. As photographs may contain identifiable information about your race and ethnicity, which is sensitive information, we will always ask your explicit consent each time in order to take and use your photograph in this way, explaining where it will be visible, who it will be visible to and for what purpose the photograph was taken.

Your photograph may also be taken individually or as part of a group during the course of the game. For the same reason, we will always ask your explicit consent each time in order to take and use your photograph in any way, explaining where it will be visible, who it will be visible to and for what purpose the photograph was taken.

Your contributions and edits to the wiki are held so that we are fully informed of the progress of the game, as well as any issues that may arise. They will be displayed on the page itself (if you have just created the page or it is the most recent edit) and in the edit history for the page, including a comparison of changes, and visible to anyone who has access to the namespace in which the edit took place.

• Edits by you to any page in your user namespace, including turnsheets, will be visible only to us.

• Edits by you to the Playground will be visible to anyone.

• Edits by you to other pages may be possible during the course of the game. These will be visible to anyone who has access to the namespace in which the page is contained. We will inform you who has had access over the course of the game upon request once the game has concluded, though it will never exceed visibility beyond ourselves and other players.

Your file uploads are held so that we are fully informed of the progress of the game, as well as any issues that may arise. They will be displayed in the Media Manager and any page which you create or edit in order to display them, and visible to anyone who has access to the namespace in which the file was uploaded.

• Uploads by you to any namespace in your user namespace, including turnsheets, will be visible only to us.

• Uploads by you to the playground namespace will be visible to anyone.

• Uploads by you to other namespaces may be possible during the course of the game. These will be visible to anyone who has access to the namespace in which the file is uploaded. We will inform you who has had access over the course of the game upon request once the game has concluded, though it will never exceed visibility beyond ourselves and other players.

Any accessibility requirements you may have are held so that we are able to make the game as accessible as possible for you. They will only be visible to us. As accessibility requirements may be identifiable information about your health, which is sensitive information, we will ask your explicit consent in order to hold such information, explaining who it will be visible to and for what purpose it will be held.

Your IP address and usage data about how you use the wiki are automatically collected by the DokuWiki software so that we may properly administrate and moderate the wiki. They will only be visible to us.

We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which we collected it. If we need to use your personal information for a new or unrelated purpose, we will request your explicit consent to do so.

We may share your personal information with the ChaosDeathFish website administrator for the purpose of administrating or moderating the wiki when we are unable to do so.

There may also be situations where we may wish to share your personal information for other reasons, such as displaying a group photograph on a Facebook page. We will not do so without your explicit consent, explaining why we wish to share your personal information and for what reason.

We require anyone we share your personal information with to respect the security of your personal information and to treat it in accordance with this policy. We will not allow anyone to use your personal information for their own purposes and will only permit them to handle your personal information in accordance with administrating or moderating the wiki and the website or a purpose explicitly stated to you upon requesting your consent.

We have put in place security measures to prevent your personal information from being used, accessed, altered or disclosed other than in accordance with this policy, or from being accidentally lost. We will only handle your personal information in accordance with this policy and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We will notify you of any breach of this policy that concerns your personal information.

You may withdraw consent for further personal information to be gathered by us at any time and for any reason. We will anonymise any further information gathered from you in order to prevent us holding any additional personal information.

You may also request that personal information held by us is destroyed at any time and for any reason. We will endeavour to remove any personal information while retaining the integrity of other information on the wiki, which may involve anonymising any personal information we hold about you.

You may request that your wiki account is deleted at any time. Please note that some personal information is required in order to play the game, and we will inform you if carrying out your request would prevent you from playing.
