To give visitors of FSX Addons a clear overview of what FSX Addons does with the gathered information from users through membership and tracking, I have written this privacy policy.
Note: Throughout this document, a visitor is ofter addressed as 'he'. In all cases, this actually means 'he/she'.
FSX Addons requires people to register for an account to be able to post comments, post on the messageboard and upload files. Only name, password and email address are required for this registration, the rest can be left blank if wanted to. Your email address will only be visible for the FSX Addons admin. This information will never be given out or sold to anyone.
To keep record of how many visitors and downloads FSX Addons has on a daily basis, FSX Addons has a visitor tracking system. The visitcounter works with IP's, which means that when someone visits FSX Addons, his IP will be recorded and stored for 24 hours. This IP is not visible for any regular visitor, again only to the FSX Addons admin and will never be given out or used for any other thing than the FSX Addons counter.
The download counter works with cookies. When a person downloads a file, a cookie will be stored on this person's PC (if he has cookies enabled that is). This cookie only contains the file ID and the time and will be valid for 24 hours before it's deleted automatically. Again, this information is ONLY for FSX Addons download counting, nothing else.
The FSX Addons login system uses cookies to keep the person logged in. These cookies contain the password (which is encrypted) and the user ID. This data will only be used by FSX Addons to keep you logged in and make it easier to post messages and upload files. Logging in is optional in all cases.
When a person posts a comment on FSX Addons or on the messageboard, his IP will be recorded with the message. This IP is only visible for admins and is only intended to track down visitors abusing the FSX Addons comments or board system. The IP will then be used to set a ban. Never will FSX Addons publish an IP for a person to anyone else than the admins and no admin will use this IP in any other way than setting a ban on FSX Addons for that IP.
