Privacy policy

I was wondering after reading on the net about privacy policies, if i have my forum linked from my site do i need to display a privacy policy for either site or forum???

No unless you want to.

Forumotion pretty much covers this in the TOS, so you just have to obey the TOS and you should have nothing to worry about.

As far as your other site, not sure, it all depends if it was violating any of forumotions TOS in anyway, if not? then once again i would not worry about it.

However it would help if i knew what kind of privacy policies you are referring too along with how it would be related to your site.

Thanks kirk/mario for your response. I will try to expand a bit on my question. Im in the uk and read on the net that new laws recently introduced mean if a site uses cookies as the forum does, then you have to have a policy stating what info the cookie collects and giving people an option to reject that cookie. I was also informed that if i collect any information about a person ie email address,(sign up to the forum) i have to have a policy stating what i intend to do with that info.
Thanks

If I remember correctly, when someone registers there is a part of the agreement that they agree to that says something about cookies and their email addresses.

Cheers slg i will have a look for that. Dont suppose you know where it says it do you?

Where you register.

It is on the page that loads after you press the Register button.

This forum uses cookies to store information on your computer. These cookies will not contain any personal information; they are only used to improve comfort while browsing. The address e-mail is only used in order to confirm the details of your registration as your password (and also to send you back your password if you forget it).

Cheers slg, ur a star. I have added a privacy policy and TOS to my site now just to cover my back and now i know the forums are good in can rest easy. Cheers again

I am glad that I could help you with this issue.

Hi,

Also to state, you are not required by ForuMotion to have any privacy policy related to your ( or any ) other website, just please note that if you were to post a link to for example, RapidShare, there will be about 30m seconds of adds before you are redirected to your download. This is just so the user(s) know that their going away from the forum, and to another website.

If at any stage you think you may be violating the Terms Of Service of ForuMotion, your free to revise them at any time.

Since this thread appears to be solved, I will lock this thread and mark it as solved.
