We take your privacy VERY seriously. PlanetADnD has made it our priority to ensure our users who wish to be anonymous, stay anonymous. Our privacy guidelines apply to all users across the globe, regardless of ethnicity, background or location. However it is strictly up to you on how, when and where you choose to maintain your privacy on this web site.
How does PlanetADnD maintain my privacy?
For most of our public content (comments, articles, classifieds etc) you will be given the option to either A.) check a box showing you desire to post anonymously or B.) you can sign up to PlanetADnD.com using a unique username/alter-ego of your own choosing.
What happens when I use the "Post Anonymous" option exactly?
Just like it sounds. When choosing this option it posts your comments completely free of us tracking you. We do not use any tracking systems or record any IP addresses, nor do we store any location requests. You are indeed safe on PlanetADnD unlike many popular web sites.
So what about my alter-ego/username, can it be tracked?
If privacy is a concern for you, make sure the name you sign up with on PlanetADnD is completely new to you (our chat rooms are also independant from our main system). We recommend not using a name you have previously used on any other web site. It is however your responsibility to ensure you never attach or leave any traces of your identity to yourself, such as posting a link to your facebook page, or google account. If you are found doing such, you have breached your own privacy and therefore have omitted all rights an obligations to PlanetADnD.
Does PlanetADnD provide any 3rd party companies with private info?
No.
Does PlanetADnD comply with COPPA and protect our children?
Yes. Although we do not target children under the age of 13, we do offer website features that children under this age may find useful or fun to play with such as our doodle pad and mini games section (our kids included). However we are fully compliant with COPPA and do not store or record any data from our young visitors.
What if my privacy has been compromised, how can I deal with this?
If a privacy invasion has come to your attention, it is most likely your own doing. Comments, articles, listings etc are all editable by the user who created them. Simply use the edit button to correct anything you may have accidentally posted. Note; our classified section can show your general location, if this is something you do not want, simply edit it before posting your items.
