Privacy policy
This policy explains in detail how “Forums” and its affiliated companies (hereinafter “we”, “us”, “our”, “Forums”, “https://eccoonline.net/forums”) and phpBB (hereinafter “they”, “them”, “their”, “phpBB software”, “www.phpbb.com”, “phpBB Limited”, “phpBB Teams”) use information collected during your use of this site (hereinafter “your information”).
Your information is collected in two ways. When you browse “Forums”, the phpBB software will create several cookies. Cookies are small text files stored in your web browser’s temporary files. The first two cookies contain a user identifier (hereinafter “user-id”) and an anonymous session identifier (hereinafter “session-id”), both automatically assigned by the phpBB software. A third cookie will be created once you have browsed topics within “Forums”. It stores information about which topics you have read, thereby improving your user experience.
We may also create cookies external to the phpBB software while you are browsing “Forums”. These fall outside the scope of this document, which only covers cookies created by the phpBB software.
The second way we collect information is through what you submit to us. This includes but is not limited to: posting as an anonymous user (hereinafter “anonymous posts”), registering on “Forums” (hereinafter “your account”), posts you submit after registering and while logged in (hereinafter “your posts”).
Your account will contain at a minimum: a unique username (hereinafter “your username”), a personal password used to log in (hereinafter “your password”), a valid email address (hereinafter “your email”). Your account information on “Forums” is protected by the data-protection laws applicable in the country that hosts us. Any information beyond your username, password, and email address that is requested during registration may be mandatory or optional, at the discretion of “Forums”. In all cases, you may choose what information in your account is publicly displayed. You may also opt in or out of automatically generated emails from the phpBB software.
Your password is stored as a one-way hash to ensure security. However, we recommend that you do not reuse the same password across multiple websites. Your password is the key to your account on “Forums”, so please keep it secure. Under no circumstances will anyone affiliated with “Forums”, phpBB, or any third party legitimately ask for your password. If you forget your password, you can use the “I forgot my password” feature provided by the phpBB software. This process requires you to submit your username and email address, after which the phpBB software will generate a new password for you to regain access to your account.
