Principles

We, the team of FacileForms administrators and moderators, are committed to ensuring the protection of personal information of our team and the users of this web site. We collect personal information about you only when you knowingly and willingly provide it, and will not share or otherwise profit from the distribution of personal data beyond the use it was provided to fulfill.

Accountability

We are responsible for all personal information under our control including any personal information disclosed to third parties for processing. We have established policies and procedures to comply with our own privacy code, and have designated one or more persons to be accountable for compliance.

Identifying Purposes

We will identify the purposes for collecting personal information, prior to or at the time it is being provided. Personal information will not be used for a purpose not previously identified without further individual consent, unless the new purpose is required by law.

Consent

The knowledge and consent of the user are required for the collection, use or disclosure of user information, except where inappropriate.

Limiting Collection

The collection of personal information is limited to that which is necessary for the purposes identified by us.

Limiting Use, Disclosure and Retention

Personal information will not be used or disclosed for purposes other than those for which it was collected, except with the consent of the individual or as required by law. Personal information is retained only as long as necessary for the fulfillment of those purposes.

Safeguarding User Information

We protect personal information with safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information.

Openness

We will make specific information about our personal information management policies and practices readily available to individuals.

User Access

Upon request, we will inform individuals of the existence, use, and disclosure of their personal information and provide access to that information. An individual shall be able to verify the accuracy and completeness of their information, and may request that it be amended, as appropriate.

Handling Complaints and Suggestions

We will provide procedures to receive and respond to complaints or inquiries about policies and practices relating to the handling of personal information. These procedures will be easily accessible and simple to use.

Where and why we collect personal information online

Currently we collect personal information from users when they register on our site / wiki / forum, make a donation, or when they contact us directly.

Homepage, Wiki and Forum

When individuals register for our homepage, wiki, or forum they are required to provide their name, email address, and password. This information allows us to deliver services to them in a secure manner and enables them to change their preferences associated with the forum. Note that we will not sell or share your email address or individual information with any third party.

When a subscriber cancels his or her subscription, that individual's personal information (name and email address) will be deleted from our database. Any posts the user has elected to make, however, will still have the personal information they provided displayed. This is to ensure accountability for all content on our homepage, wiki and forum.

Donations

When a visitor makes a donation, our third-party merchant service provider collects personal information in order to validate billing. Of this information, email address, name and shipping address are made available to us. This information is used to verify buyers' identity and to resolve delinquent accounts.

Email

When you send us an email you provide us with your name and email address, along with any other information you provide in the body of your email. This information may be shared with persons outside of the FacileForms team only when they are required to receive this information in order to respond effectively to your query. We retain all email correspondence indefinitely in order to improve our services according to user feedback.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files transferred to your hard drive by a web server. Because cookies only contain text, they cannot transmit a virus or damage your system. They are commonly used to determine return visitors to a site, record your preferences, registration information or pages viewed. We only use cookies to allow users to maintain a logged in state when accessing our web services or private areas. No personal information is involved in providing this feature. You should have the option to set your browser to either accept cookies openly, to notify you before accepting cookies, or to refuse cookies altogether.

Limitation of Liability

Complete confidentiality and security is not yet possible over the Internet. Internet use and communication is subject to interception, loss and alteration. On whichever site you provide personal information, it is possible for a third party to view that information. It is not surprising, for example, that messages to newsgroups have resulted in unsolicited email from spammers. You acknowledge and agree that we shall not be responsible for any damages you may suffer as a result of the transmission of confidential or sensitive information over the Internet, and that all such communications will be at your own risk.

Contact Us

We hope you find this statement informative and clear. Please contact us in the forum regarding any questions or further information you may be interested in.

Updates

We reserve the right to update and amend this policy as it is deemed necessary or appropriate to do so. Please check back often to be appraised of any changes. This version was updated on June 3rd, 2006.
