Generally, personal information is not collected from visitors to the Tolwyn's Music - Doomworld Edition website. However, in order to access certain special services, personal information is requested; those cases are described in more detail below.

Bulletin Board Registration

Tolwyn's Music - Doomworld Edition requires a valid e-mail address for users who want to participate in the Tolwyn's Music - Doomworld Edition forums. This allows us to protect our community from abusive postings and provides a verifiable point of contact should legal questions arise. At any time, you have the ability to keep your e-mail address hidden from other users by selecting that option within your user profile.

Also in the forum registration, you have the option of providing some additional information such as occupation, interests, and homepage URL. This information is made available to other bulletin board users to foster a sense of community. If you have any concerns about providing this information, simply leave the fields blank and your registration will still be processed.

IF YOU ARE 12 YEARS OF AGE OR YOUNGER and would like to participate in the Tolwyn's Music - Doomworld Edition forums, you will need to print the Parental Consent form (found when registering on our Forums if you are under 18) and have your parent or legal guardian e-mail it to Tolwyn's Music - Doomworld Edition at tolwyn@tolwyn.com prior to posting on the Tolwyn's Music - Doomworld Edition forums.

Disclosure of Personal Information

Tolwyn's Music - Doomworld Edition does not disclose your personally identifying information to any third parties for any purpose without your prior consent. All reasonable care is taken by staff handling personal information to ensure its security both off-line and on-line.

It’s also important to be aware that when you voluntarily provide personal information (e.g., last name, address, phone number) in a posting on the bulletin board, that information is publicly available and may be used by someone in a manner unintended by you. For that reason, we discourage the offering of any personally identifying information within the message board itself.

Please view a copy of the parental permission form (found when registering on our forums if you are under 18). Prior to a child’s registration on the bulletin board, this form must be signed by the child’s parent or legal guardian and e-mailed to Tolwyn's Music - Doomworld Edition at tolwyn@tolwyn.com.

Tolwyn's Music - Doomworld Edition is prohibited from conditioning a child’s participation in an activity on the child’s disclosing more personal information than is reasonably necessary to participate in such activity.

Parents can review and request deletion of their child’s personal information, and can refuse to permit further collection or use of their child’s information. In order to request such a review, to revoke previously offered parental consent, or to express any concerns regarding a child’s privacy on our website, please fax a signed written request to the fax number disclosed above.
