Privacy Policy

Welcome to goo.tc, an online community featuring games, contests, a discussion forum, weblogs, movie reviews, and more. This policy explains how personal information about users is collected. The site is run by Scott Hardie.

Name
Participation in the site requires use of your real first and last name. This is a community in which users develop relationships with one another, and anonymous handles are not welcome. Scott understands the desire of some visitors to remain anonymous, and invites them to participate in the thousands of other sites out there that don't require their names. Accounts with aliases and nonsense names are created regularly and Scott deletes every one.

Email
Your email address is requested during registration to discourage fraud. Since goo.tc is not a business nor has partnerships with any businesses (Scott runs this site entirely out-of-pocket), we have no spam to send you. You will only receive goo.tc-related emails under three circumstances:
1) You opt in to one of the email notifications triggered automatically by an event on the site.
2) You have won a prize in one of the contests on the site, and Scott needs information about how to send it to you.
3) There is some kind of technical problem with your account requiring your attention. (This is rare.)

Photograph and Personal Info
Other than gender, we collect only what personal information you submit in your options. Likewise, we only use your photograph if you send one. You can change or remove your photograph and personal info at any time.

IP Address
Your IP address is collected only for comparison against other users, to prevent fraudulent duplicate accounts.

Cookies
A cookie is created during registration that keeps you logged in. Use of a cookie is required for participation. No personal information is collected. The site has no advertising that could take advantage of the cookie, nor is the cookie information accessible by other sites.

Permanent Record
To preserve the integrity of game records and site archives, there will remain a permanent record of your participation even after you close your account and delete your personal info. If you would like to request permanent removal of your name from the site, please contact Scott.
