Welcome to our organization's website. Here at the Force Elite Soldiers we are committed to respecting your individual privacy rights. This policy will explain how we collect information, how certain types of information collection are collected at certain areas, and how all this information is used. This policy is available
for you to use when ever you like, and is available at least on every page for when you chose to do so. By using our website, you agree to all the terms mentioned at our terms of usage, privacy policy and legal policies as well as overall club policies for communication on our servers and networks. If you do not agree with the terms of this website, you must not use it. Note that this policy applies to all users of this site regardless of location, age or education.
As a general user, your information is not collected as much as a general member, but we do record information none-the-less. Generally, we limit the collection of information to email address, gaming and voting information. This general information is logged and collected for polling and survey services, news reports based on those surveys, and possibly emailed newsletters depending on what the user selects and adds information to. Members are asked more information, such as callsigns, passwords for their web site account, email addresses, polling services, gaming information, character information, names, ages, statistical information, and location information such as a country or state. This information is collected so that members can participate in activities, receive newsletters and have access to events and special services for their time zones.
BE AWARE THAT A USER IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION, AND CAN DECLINE TO PROVIDE, ANY REQUESTED INFORMATION AT ANY TIME. THIS USER WILL NOT HOWEVER BE ABLE TO ACCESS CERTAIN EVENTS AND SERVICES WITHOUT THIS INFORMATION.
Other information is also collected for security concerns. Under a June 26th 2002 executive order by our leadership body, a division of members under the Special Operations Unit as well as the leadership body, known as the Imperial Senate, has access to any general and security information from visitors and members on this web site if the situation is in security based turmoil. This information includes NIC addresses, IP addresses, visitor location, computer hardware and software information including modem types and browsers. This information may be used to block incoming security concerns, and can result in the notification of Internet Service Providers and in some cases, local authorities. It is advised that visitors do not attempt to tamper, disrupt or badger other visitors and members using our web site services or collection information from members who have accepted this policy and others for the protection of their privacy. Any violation of this policy may be logged and used as a security concern.

Anyone under the age of 13 is automatically required to have consent of their parents to use this website. Please contact us about your age BEFORE submitting a membership application. If you do submit the application, please complete the age checkbox accurately to avoid problems in the future. Under law, the parents must accept their child’s usage of the web site, the organization and its services. By using this website, the child is telling us that they are approved by their parents and has authorization to use the web site services.
We are committed to keeping a strong privacy policy, and we will protect information located on this web site. We encourage parents or child guardians to review our web site, our policies and speak with our leading members if they have questions or concerns about their child’s usage of the web site and its services. If the parent or guardian feels their child should not be using this service, feel free to let the administration know so they can remove your child’s information from the system.
We also encourage that parents discuss this Privacy Policy and other policies with their children so they understand how we operate, what they may be asked information wise, and what they may expect from being here. At request, we will happily provide users and members with detailed information about our organization, how we operate and our standing policies that could lead to information decisions on behalf of those who ask for such information.
Members of the Force Elite Soldiers realize that they are volunteering for their membership, and have not been forced to join our organization. Any member can leave upon their request and their information removed from our services. While a member of the organization, or a visitor of the services on this web site or any other services provided by the Force Elite Soldiers, each person using the site has agreed to be bound by all organization rules and guidelines such as the Code of Conduct, Terms of Usage, Legal Policies and other policies that the Force Elite Soldiers decides to modify or add in the future while the user is still using this web site and its services. Each member consents to us collecting information such as private message that the receiver would like to report in (there is no logging of private messages unless one of the parties involved agrees to this), as well as general chat logs, message board post logs, game server chat logs and other logs of usage on our services. Any information we gather is only used for investigation under moderate to severe Security concerns only.
As all most of our services require member accessible accounts, the member agrees by using his account that his usage will be tracked and monitored. This is used only for activity checks, such as times members post on message boards, using chat services and game servers as well as security concerns incase another member reports a problem with another member using these services. Communication using Force Elite Soldier services will be moderated and controlled, but the organization is not bound to monitor situations.
Note that all registration information is submitted to us on a voluntary basis. Our membership application process is a visitor volunteer system, and the prospect member is encouraged to think hard about their dedication to an organization that would enjoy an active member. Once you decided to become a member, this person may need to enter contact and detailed information of what the member would like to do in our organization. Once an application is approved for full membership, the active account then allows you to view member only events and competitions, specialized surveys and communication channels, and access to private message boards and member only features. We will use your member information to contact you; some of it will display on our roster system and be used for activity and communication checks. IF YOU ARE UNDER 13, YOU WILL NEED YOUR PARENT'S OR GUARDIAN'S CONSENT BEFORE YOU CAN APPLY.
We may collect and store personal information that you voluntarily submit to us via emai. As an example, you may email another member for help and guidance in joining our organization, or training to become a better member. This member will then use that information to contact you, and then check with other members about the specific information you may want to know. In certain cases hard copies or data from certain e-mail responses or tracking information may be kept on file for security purposes. Any such copy or data will also be stored in a secure location, and information from these messages will not be used outside of the organization.
Some special events may require special information that is normally not covered in your membership account or to the common visitor. This information is secured and used only for the specific event and events like it that can follow. Depending on the event, this may have a physical award such as a free game or computer hardware. It will also require contact with other members and administration. IF YOU ARE UNDER 13, YOU WILL NEED YOUR PARENT'S OR GUARDIAN'S CONSENT BEFORE YOU CAN PARTICIPATE IN ANY EVENT. IF YOU ARE OVER 13 BUT UNDER 18 YOU WILL NEED YOUR PARENT'S OR GUARDIAN'S CONSENT TO COLLECT YOUR PRIZE OR RECEIVE YOUR BENEFIT.
We offer fully interactive emailed newsletters to our organization members. Some of these newsletters will contain promotional material for new events and activities as well as specialized member spotlights, helpful tips and notes from other members and may include a highlight or review on an incoming game or product. IF YOU ARE UNDER 13, YOU WILL NEED YOUR PARENT'S OR GUARDIAN'S CONSENT BEFORE YOU CONSENT TO USAGE OF AN ONLINE NEWSLETTER. Members can disable the automated newsletter if they wish to not receive it. We do not offer public newsletters. Note our other legal policy or terms of use if you have any questions.
Sometimes we office polls or surveys to see how people enjoys our services or have comments on incoming information or products. We also track what pages they visited, what division they enjoyed the most, how long a member or visitor stayed, favorite message boards and posts in those message boards, as well as favorite games they enjoy playing on our services. Other than as explained in this policy, we may disclose personal information in the good faith belief that we are required to do so by law, or that doing so is reasonably necessary to comply with legal processes; respond to any claims; or, to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of our organization, our administration, our members, or the public. As well, information may be shared with allied organizations, future merges and new officers who may deal with information processing.
