Data Privacy

Data Collection

This site does not collect any personally-identifiable information from you or your computer, except that which you intentionally supply through deliberate actions.

Examples of personally-identifiable information you might supply are:

• Your name/pseudonym and email address, when you comment on a news item.
• Your name/pseudonym and email address, if you signed up for our newsletter when it was running.
• Your name and shipping address when you order from our store.

Information collected is stored by the companies listed below. Unless it is needed for shipping an order, we do not store or duplicate this information ourselves. We will not supply it to any other third parties unless required to do so by law.


Third Parties

Data from the blog comments and poll responses are stored by our host, Weebly Inc., and protected by the Weebly Privacy Policy.

The Newsletter is operated by Mailchimp, and your details are protected by their Privacy Policy.

We have recently removed all Facebook integration, due to their alleged  data retention and monetisation practices, and we no longer set cookies from their organisation or use their social sharing widgets.

Other parties which provide functionality or analytics on this site gather demographic data only, unless you are already signed into an account with that party or supply the information yourself. These parties are:

• SumoMe
• POWr
• Google
• Paypal
• Apple Pay
• PowerUp by SocialStream.io

Cookies

Like virtually all web sites, this one uses "cookies" to provide various types of functionality and usability.

Cookies are very small text files which a web server can read and write on your computer in a restricted fashion. They can contain all manner of information, to help web sites recognise users, provide an experience tuned to the user, and store some information about your visits which will help personalise matters later on.

Your web browser will have a privacy section in its settings, which allows control over how web sites use cookies. Although the vast majority of cookies from legitimate web sites are perfectly benign, your browser's privacy controls are still worth knowing about.

Virtually all of the cookies set by this site will come from the parties listed in the "Data Privacy" section.

To reject advertiser cookies en masse, instead of site by site, we recommend that you use YourOnlineChoices.com and YourAdChoices. You should use those sites for every browser you use, on every device (for example Firefox and Chrome on your laptop, Safari on your iPhone, and so on).

UK residents can learn about their rights and data holder's responsibilities at the ICO web site.

Image & File Use

All images and 3D models which are part of the Armada Wars brand are intellectual property, and are protected by international copyright law. Examples of how they may be used freely by third parties are as follows:

• Intact book covers (i.e. with titles) may be used for the purposes of cataloguing, review, and commentary.
• Sections of images may be used for personal decoration, e.g. as a  profile pic or the banner of a gaming clan.
• In either case, attribution to the artist Adam Burn is appreciated, as is identification of the Armada Wars brand.
• Character images are Copyright © Armada Wars and are available for free use in personal, non-profit projects, and as computer or mobile device backgrounds.

Armada Wars images and 3D models are properties which belong to the Armada Wars brand, and which represent integral aspects of it. All commercial or for-profit usage therefore requires explicit permission. Please see the more detailed "asset usage" page before making a request.
