Information posted in public areas may be visible to:

  • Other Waypoint Tavern members;

  • IP address;
  • Browser user-agent information;

  • Security;
  • Investigating policy violations; and
  • Maintaining discussion history.

Comments and associated metadata may be retained for extended periods or indefinitely where reasonably necessary to preserve discussion context, identify follow-up comments, moderate the community, or prevent abuse.


9. Gravatar and Profile Images

Waypoint Tavern may use Gravatar or WordPress functionality that interacts with Gravatar to display profile images.

If Gravatar functionality is enabled, an anonymized value created from your email address, commonly called a hash, may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine whether your email address has an associated Gravatar.

If a Gravatar is associated with your email address, your profile image may become publicly visible with your profile, comments, posts, or other activity.

Gravatar is operated by Automattic and is subject to Automattic’s own privacy practices.


10. MediaVerse — Messaging, Media, Galleries, and Social Feeds

Waypoint Tavern may use MediaVerse to provide features including:

  • Direct messaging;
  • Media uploads;
  • Galleries;
  • Social feeds;
  • Member activity;
  • Images;
  • Files;
  • Reactions; and
  • Other social interactions.

When you use these features, we may process information including:

  • Messages you send and receive;
  • Message participants;
  • Message dates and timestamps;
  • Images and media you upload;
  • Uploaded-file information;
  • Galleries you create;
  • Social-feed posts;
  • Comments;
  • Reactions;
  • Activity records; and
  • Technical information necessary to operate or secure these features.

11. Private Messages

Private or direct messages are not intended to be publicly visible.

However, messages may be stored on Waypoint Tavern’s systems so that messaging functionality can operate.

Authorized administrators may access or disclose private messages where reasonably necessary to:

  • Investigate reported harassment;
  • Investigate threats or abuse;
  • Investigate fraud;
  • Investigate spam;
  • Investigate security incidents;
  • Enforce our Terms and Conditions;
  • Diagnose serious technical problems;
  • Protect Waypoint Tavern or its members;
  • Respond to valid legal process; or
  • Comply with applicable law.

Recipients of messages may independently:

  • Save messages;
  • Copy messages;
  • Screenshot messages;
  • Forward messages; or
  • Disclose messages to others.

For this reason, you should not send passwords, financial credentials, highly sensitive personal information, trade secrets, or other information that cannot safely be disclosed to the recipient.


12. Uploaded Media and Location Information

If you upload photographs or images to Waypoint Tavern, those files may contain metadata.

Image files can contain EXIF information such as:

  • Device information;
  • Camera information;
  • Date;
  • Time; and
  • GPS location data.

Visitors or members who can access an original image may potentially download the image and extract metadata contained within it.

We recommend removing GPS or other sensitive location metadata from images before uploading them if you do not want that information disclosed.

You are responsible for reviewing files before making them publicly available.


13. Jetonomy — Forums, Discussions, and Q&A

Waypoint Tavern may use Jetonomy to provide:

  • Forum-style discussions;
  • Questions and answers;
  • Threaded replies;
  • Votes;
  • Mentions;
  • Subscriptions;
  • Notifications; and
  • Other discussion features.

When you use these features, we may store:

  • Discussions you create;
  • Questions you ask;
  • Answers you provide;
  • Replies;
  • Votes or feedback;
  • Mentions;
  • Subscription information;
  • Notification preferences;
  • Dates and timestamps;
  • Account information associated with contributions; and
  • Moderation information.

Public forum and discussion content should be considered public information.

Do not post confidential project information, passwords, private source code, trade secrets, personal information, or other sensitive material in public discussions.

Forum discussions may also appear elsewhere on Waypoint Tavern, including community feeds or search results.


14. Gamification — Points, Badges, Levels, and Leaderboards

Waypoint Tavern may use gamification features to recognize participation and achievements.

These systems may process information about your activity in order to award or calculate:

  • Points;
  • Badges;
  • Achievements;
  • Levels;
  • Ranks; and
  • Leaderboard positions.

Activities affecting gamification may include:

  • Posting;
  • Commenting;
  • Participating in discussions;
  • Completing courses;
  • Completing lessons;
  • Earning certificates;
  • Participating in other configured community activities; and
  • Reaching configured milestones.

Certain achievements, badges, levels, point totals, or leaderboard positions may be displayed publicly or to other members.

Gamification records may remain associated with your account while active and may later be deleted, retained, or anonymized according to our retention practices.


15. Career Board — Jobs and Applications

Waypoint Tavern may operate a Career Board that allows members, developers, studios, project owners, or other organizations to publish opportunities and receive applications.

Information provided through a job application may include:

  • Your name;
  • Username;
  • Email address;
  • Profile information;
  • Skills;
  • Professional experience;
  • Employment history;
  • Portfolio information;
  • Website links;
  • Résumé or CV;
  • Cover letter;
  • Application responses;
  • Availability;
  • Communications concerning the opportunity;
  • Application status; and
  • Other information you voluntarily submit.

16. Information Shared With Job Posters

When you intentionally apply for an opportunity, the information you submit may be made available to the person or organization responsible for that listing.

This may include:

  • Employers;
  • Game studios;
  • Project owners;
  • Recruiters;
  • Development teams; or
  • Other members seeking collaborators or workers.

Do not submit information in an application that you do not want the recipient to receive.

Once an independent employer, recruiter, or project owner legitimately receives your information, that party may independently retain or use it as permitted by applicable law.

Waypoint Tavern does not control an independent third party’s handling of information after that party legitimately receives it.

People or organizations posting opportunities are responsible for complying with applicable:

  • Employment laws;
  • Privacy laws;
  • Anti-discrimination laws;
  • Data-protection requirements; and
  • Other applicable legal obligations.

Waypoint Tavern does not sell applicant information merely because a member applies for a position.


17. Sensitive Employment Information

Members should not request or publicly post highly sensitive information unless there is a legitimate and lawful reason to do so.

This includes information such as:

  • Passwords;
  • Authentication codes;
  • Banking passwords;
  • Full financial account credentials;
  • Social Security numbers;
  • Government identification numbers; or
  • Similar highly sensitive information.

Applicants should exercise reasonable caution when responding to employment or collaboration opportunities.

  • Courses;
  • Lessons;
  • Quizzes;
  • Course progress tracking;

  • Course completion;
  • Certificates; and
  • Educational achievements.

When you use these features, information associated with your learning activity may include:

  • Progress through a course;
  • Lesson completion;
  • Quiz responses;
  • Quiz scores;
  • Course completion status;
  • Certificates earned;
  • Dates and timestamps; and
  • Course-related notifications.

Certain educational achievements may be displayed publicly or to other community members.

For example, completion of a course or earning a certificate may appear as community activity or an achievement associated with your account.

Certificates may also include public verification functionality where that feature is enabled.


19. Listora — Directory Listings

Waypoint Tavern may use Listora to allow members to create and manage directory listings.

Directories may be used for purposes such as locating:

  • Game developers;
  • Programmers;
  • Artists;
  • Musicians;
  • Writers;
  • Designers;
  • Studios;
  • Development teams;
  • Projects;
  • Services;
  • Collaboration opportunities; or
  • Other community resources.

Information you voluntarily include in a listing may include:

  • Listing title;
  • Description;
  • Member name;
  • Business or studio name;
  • Profile information;
  • Images;
  • Portfolio materials;
  • Websites;
  • Social links;
  • Skills;
  • Services offered;
  • Project information;
  • Contact information; and
  • Other information you intentionally include.

20. Public Directory Information

Directory listings are generally designed to help people discover members, projects, businesses, services, and opportunities.

Information intentionally placed in a public directory listing should therefore be considered public.

Depending upon the configuration of Waypoint Tavern, directory listings may be:

  • Visible to members;
  • Visible to non-members;
  • Accessible through public links; and
  • Indexed by search engines.

Do not include a private home address, private telephone number, private email address, or other sensitive information in a public listing unless you intentionally want that information disclosed.


21. Information Shared Between Community Features

Waypoint Tavern’s community features are integrated.

Information generated through one feature may therefore appear elsewhere on Waypoint Tavern when that is part of the normal operation of the community.

Examples include:

  • A forum discussion appearing in a community activity feed;
  • Forum content appearing in site search results;
  • A course completion appearing in a community feed;
  • An earned certificate appearing as an achievement;
  • Gamification activity resulting in a badge appearing on your profile;
  • A directory listing linking to your member profile;
  • A job listing identifying the member or organization that created it; and
  • Notifications from multiple community features appearing in a central notification area.

Information is not necessarily private merely because it originated in one particular feature.

Where a feature specifically treats information as private, such as direct messaging, we do not intentionally publish that information to public community areas.


22. Creative Projects and Collaboration

Waypoint Tavern exists in part to help:

  • Programmers;
  • Artists;
  • Musicians;
  • Writers;
  • Designers;
  • Developers;
  • Producers;
  • Testers; and
  • Other creators

find one another and collaborate.

Members may voluntarily share information concerning creative projects, including:

  • Project names;
  • Game concepts;
  • Screenshots;
  • Artwork;
  • Music;
  • Development information;
  • Team information;
  • Collaboration opportunities;
  • Portfolio materials;
  • Project needs;
  • Skills sought; and
  • Other creative information.

Waypoint Tavern does not automatically treat project information as confidential merely because a project is unreleased.

If information constitutes a trade secret, confidential business information, unreleased intellectual property, or other material that should remain confidential, you should carefully consider whether to disclose it through the Site.

Collaborators should consider using appropriate confidentiality or nondisclosure agreements when necessary.


23. Artificial Intelligence and Privacy

Waypoint Tavern expressly permits the use of artificial intelligence throughout the game-development and creative process.

This includes AI-generated or AI-assisted:

  • Code;
  • Programming;
  • Artwork;
  • Graphics;
  • Animation;
  • Music;
  • Sound;
  • Writing;
  • Dialogue;
  • Game design;
  • Research;
  • Brainstorming;
  • Prototyping;
  • Documentation;
  • Development assistance; and
  • Other legitimate creative or technical uses.

The fact that Waypoint Tavern permits AI use does not change the privacy responsibilities of members.

Members may not improperly use AI tools to disclose another person’s private information through Waypoint Tavern.

If a member independently submits information to a third-party AI service, that third party’s handling of the information is governed by its own privacy policy and terms.

Waypoint Tavern is not responsible for the privacy practices of independent AI tools used directly by members.


24. Technical Information

When you access Waypoint Tavern, our servers, hosting provider, WordPress installation, community software, plugins, or security systems may automatically receive technical information such as:

  • IP address;
  • Browser type;
  • Browser user-agent;
  • Device type;
  • Operating system;
  • Date and time of access;
  • Requested pages;
  • Referring pages;
  • Login attempts;
  • Session information;
  • Error information; and
  • Other technical information normally transmitted when accessing a website.

We may use this information to:

If you leave a comment, you may be given the option to save information such as your:

  • Name;
  • Email address; and
  • Website

in cookies.

These cookies are provided for convenience so that you do not need to re-enter the same information when leaving another comment.

These cookies may remain for approximately one year.


27. Login Cookies

When you visit a WordPress login page, the Site may set a temporary cookie to determine whether your browser accepts cookies.

This cookie contains no personal profile information and is normally discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, cookies may be created to:

  • Maintain your authenticated session;
  • Remember login information; and
  • Remember display preferences.

Standard WordPress login cookies generally last approximately two days.

If you select “Remember Me,” your login may persist for approximately two weeks.

28. Publishing Cookies

If you edit or publish supported website content, WordPress may save an additional cookie indicating the ID of the content that was edited.

This cookie does not itself contain personal profile information and normally expires after approximately one day.


29. Additional Cookies

WordPress plugins, community features, and other services used by Waypoint Tavern may create cookies where necessary for their functionality.

Where legally required, Waypoint Tavern may provide additional information or choices concerning non-essential cookies.

Most browsers allow you to restrict or delete cookies.

Disabling necessary cookies may prevent:

  • Login;
  • Account functionality;
  • Preferences;
  • Community features; or
  • Other portions of the Site

from operating correctly.


30. Embedded Content From Other Websites

Waypoint Tavern pages, profiles, discussions, posts, or other content may contain embedded material from external services.

Examples include:

  • Videos;
  • Images;
  • Music players;
  • Social-media posts;
  • Game pages;
  • Code repositories;
  • Articles;
  • Portfolio services; and
  • Other external content.

Embedded content may behave as though you directly visited the external website.

The external provider may:

  • Receive your IP address;
  • Use cookies;
  • Collect device or browser information;
  • Monitor your interaction with embedded content; or
  • Associate activity with an account you maintain with that service.

Such activities are controlled by the third party and are governed by that third party’s own privacy policy.

Waypoint Tavern does not sell members’ personal information merely because they use the Community.

Information may be disclosed in the circumstances described below.


33. Other Members and the Public

Information you intentionally publish in public areas may be available to:

  • Members;

  • Employer;
  • Recruiter;
  • Studio;
  • Project owner;
  • Team; or
  • Member.

This disclosure occurs because you have chosen to submit information to that recipient.

Depending upon the Site’s configuration, these may include providers of:

  • Website hosting;
  • Database hosting;

37. Business Transfers

If Waypoint Tavern or substantially all relevant assets associated with the Community are sold, transferred, reorganized, or merged into another entity, information associated with operation of the Community may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.


38. Password Resets

If you request a password reset, technical information such as the IP address associated with the request may be included in or associated with the password-reset process for security purposes.


39. Automated Spam and Security Detection

Comments, registrations, login attempts, messages, or other activity may be processed by automated security or spam-prevention systems.

Such systems may analyze information including:

  • IP addresses;
  • Email addresses;
  • Browser information;
  • User-agent information;
  • Comment content;
  • Login behavior;
  • Account activity; and
  • Other technical indicators.

This processing may be used to distinguish legitimate activity from:

  • Spam;
  • Bots;
  • Fraud;
  • Malicious activity; and
  • Attempted account compromise.

40. How Long We Retain Information

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for:

  • The purpose for which it was collected;
  • Operation of the Community;
  • Security;
  • Moderation;
  • Fraud prevention;
  • Dispute resolution; and
  • Applicable legal obligations.

Different categories of information may be retained for different periods.


41. Account Information

Account and profile information may generally be retained while your account remains active.

Following account deletion, associated information may be:

  • Deleted;
  • Anonymized; or
  • Retained

where reasonably necessary for administrative, legal, moderation, security, fraud-prevention, or dispute-resolution purposes.


42. Comments, Posts, and Community Content

Comments, posts, discussions, and associated metadata may be retained for extended periods or indefinitely where necessary to:

  • Preserve conversations;
  • Maintain community context;
  • Prevent broken discussion threads;
  • Maintain moderation records;
  • Investigate abuse; or
  • Protect the Site.

Deleting your account may therefore not automatically remove every:

  • Post;
  • Comment;
  • Quotation;
  • Reply;
  • Mention; or
  • Reference associated with your account.

43. Messages

Private messages may be retained while needed to provide messaging functionality.

Certain message-related records may be retained where reasonably necessary for:

  • Abuse investigations;
  • Security;
  • Legal compliance; or
  • Dispute resolution.

44. Job Applications

Job-application information may be retained while reasonably necessary to operate the application system or provide access to submitted applications.

Recipients of applications may independently retain information they legitimately received, subject to their own legal obligations.


45. Course and Gamification Records

Course progress, achievements, badges, certificates, points, or related records may be retained while associated with an active account.

Certain records may be retained or anonymized after account deletion where reasonably necessary to preserve issued certificates, community history, or system integrity.


46. Security Records

Security logs and records concerning:

  • Abuse;
  • Fraud;
  • Suspensions;
  • Account restrictions;
  • Terms violations;
  • Security incidents; or

may be retained for a reasonable period where necessary to protect the Community.

Depending upon available functionality and applicable law, you may request:

  • Access to personal information associated with your account;

Deletion rights are not absolute.

We may retain information where reasonably necessary or legally permitted for purposes including:

  • Security;
  • Fraud prevention;
  • Legal compliance;
  • Recordkeeping;
  • Protecting the rights of others;
  • Establishing or defending legal claims;
  • Maintaining moderation history; or
  • Other lawful purposes.

We also cannot remove copies of information independently retained by other people after they legitimately obtained that information.


50. Data Export

If you maintain an account or have submitted information to the Site, you may be able to request an exported copy of certain personal information associated with you.

The exact content of an export may depend upon the technical capabilities of the Site and applicable law.

Remember that another member may independently retain information you intentionally send to that person, including:

  • Messages;
  • Job applications;
  • Project files;
  • Collaboration materials; and
  • Other communications.

53. Data Security

We take reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information maintained through Waypoint Tavern.

These measures may include protections provided through:

  • WordPress;
  • Hosting infrastructure;
  • Account authentication;
  • Security software;
  • Plugins;
  • Server configuration;
  • Access controls;
  • Backups; and
  • Other security mechanisms.

However, no website, database, network, computer system, or method of Internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You are responsible for protecting your account credentials.

Use a strong, unique password and do not share it with others.

If you believe your account has been compromised, contact us promptly.


54. Security Incidents and Data Breaches

If we discover a security incident involving personal information, we may:

  • Investigate the incident;
  • Attempt to contain it;
  • Secure affected systems;
  • Take corrective action; and
  • Provide notifications where required by applicable law.

Members should report suspected security vulnerabilities rather than attempting to exploit them.

Security concerns may be reported to:

[SECURITY EMAIL ADDRESS]


55. Third-Party Websites and Services

Waypoint Tavern members may link to:

  • External websites;
  • Game storefronts;
  • Code repositories;
  • Portfolio sites;
  • Social networks;
  • AI tools;
