Privacy policy

Introduction

Slashdream ("we", "our" or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, disclose and safeguard your information when you visit our website.

If you have any questions about this privacy policy, or if you wish to exercise your rights regarding your personal data, please reach out by email at privacy@slashdream.net.

Information we collect

Personal information

This website has no account, no form and no comment feature. We receive personal information only if you choose to write to us by email at privacy@slashdream.net. That information may include your name, your email address and whatever else you decide to tell us, and we use it only to answer you.

Automatically collected information

We do not run analytics on this website, and we do not build profiles of our visitors. Like any web server, however, the infrastructure that serves our pages processes technical information about each request in order to deliver the page and to keep the service secure:

• Your IP address
• The page requested, and the date and time of the request
• Browser type and version, and operating system, from the browser's user agent
• The address of the page that referred you, if any

This information is used to operate the website, to detect and address technical problems and to protect against abusive or illegal activity. It is not used for advertising or sold to anyone.

Our logo, icons and the preview image of our pages are loaded from our own assets server (cdn.the-gnou-community.net), so loading a page also sends it the same technical request information. No third-party advertising, analytics or social media services are used.

How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, operate and maintain our website
• Detect, prevent and address technical issues
• Protect against fraudulent or illegal activity
• Answer the messages you send us

Cookies and tracking technologies

We use ONE cookie, strictly necessary for the website to work: it remembers that you have acknowledged our cookie notice.

We do not use:

• Advertising or marketing cookies
• Third-party tracking cookies
• Analytics cookies
• Social media cookies
• Preference or performance cookies
• Session cookies

We do not use any third-party cookies on this website. The cookie is set directly by our website (a first-party cookie) and is not shared with or accessible by any third-party service. Our pages run no scripts at all.

For more detailed information about the cookie, please see our cookie policy.

Data sharing and disclosure

We do not sell, trade or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

• With your consent: we may share information when you give us explicit permission
• For legal reasons: we may disclose information if required by law or in response to valid legal processes
• To protect rights: we may disclose information to protect our rights, property or safety, or that of our users or others
• Service providers: we may share information with trusted service providers who assist us in operating our website, subject to confidentiality agreements

Data security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. These measures include:

• Encryption of data in transit using HTTPS/TLS
• A content security policy that limits what the pages may load
• Access controls on the systems that host the website

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Data retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirements.
