Introduction
From time to time, you will be asked to submit personal information about
yourself (e.g. name and email address etc.) in order to receive or use services
on our website.
By entering your details in the fields requested, you enable Virneth Studios
(Virneth) to

Policy
When you supply any personal information to Virneth we have legal obligations towards you in
the way we deal with that data. We must collect the information fairly, that is,
we must explain how we will use it (see the notices on particular WebPages) and tell you if we want to
pass the information on to anyone else. In general, any information you provide
to Virneth will only be used within Virneth. It
will never be supplied to anyone outside Virneth without first obtaining your
consent, unless we are obliged or permitted by law to disclose it. Also, if you
post or send offensive or inappropriate content anywhere on or to Virneth or
otherwise engage in any disruptive behavior on the Virneth website, and Virneth considers such
behavior to be serious and/or repeated, then Virneth can use whatever information
that is available to it about you to stop such behavior. This may include
informing relevant third parties such as your employer, school or e-mail
provider about the content and your behavior.
We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as you use the
service you have requested, and remove it in the event that the purpose has been
met. We will ensure that all personal information supplied
is held securely, in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.
On occasions your information may be used to allow
Virneth to contact you for "service administration purposes". For example, we may wish to notify you that
a particular service has been suspended for maintenance. We will not contact you
for promotional purposes, such as notifying you of improvements to the service
or new services provided by Virneth unless you specifically
agree to be contacted for such purposes at the time you submit your information
on the site, or at a later time if you sign up specifically to receive such
promotional information.

You have the right to request a copy of the personal information that Virneth holds about you and to have any inaccuracies corrected. (We charge £20 for information requests.) Please address requests to the Data Protection Officer (Email: dpo#virneth.co.uk note - change the # to @).
