== Summary ==

If you only read the AVR TV website, no more information is collected than is typically collected in server logs by web sites in general.

If you comment on AVR TV productions, you are ”’publishing”’ every word you post publicly. If you write something, assume that it will be retained forever. This includes articles, user pages and talk pages. Some limited exceptions are described below.

=== Identification of an author ===

When you post comments on the AVR TV site, you must submit a name and an email address.
Your comments will be identified by the name you provide. This may be your real name if you so choose, or you may choose to publish under a pseudonym.

Your email address will in general NEVER be publicly released or shared. Exceptions can be made under certain circumstances (see below).

When posting comments, your IP address will not be available to the public except in cases of abuse, including vandalism of a wiki page by you or by another user with the same IP address. In all cases, your IP address will be stored on our servers and can be seen by server administrators.
Your IP address, and its connection to any names that share it may be released under certain circumstances (see below).

== Private logging ==

Every time you visit a web page, you send a lot of information to the web server. Most web servers routinely maintain access logs with a portion of this information, which can be used to get an overall picture of what pages are popular, what other sites link to this one, and what web browsers people are using. It is not the intention of the AVR TV project to use this information to keep track of legitimate users.

Log data may be examined by developers in the course of solving technical problems and in tracking down badly-behaved web spiders that overwhelm the site. IP addresses of users, derived either from those logs or from records in the database are frequently used to correlate nicknames and network addresses of edits in investigating abuse of the site, including vandalism, harassment of other users, or disruption of the site.

=== Policy on release of data derived from page logs ===

It is the policy of the AVR TV site that personally identifiable data collected in the server logs, or through database records, may be released by the system administrators in the following situations:

1. In response to a valid subpoena or other compulsory request from law enforcement
2. With permission of the affected user
3. To the administrator of the AVR TV website, or his designee, when necessary for investigation of abuse complaints.
4. Where the information pertains to page views generated by a spider or bot and its dissemination is necessary to illustrate or resolve technical issues.
5. Where the user has been vandalising articles or persistently behaving in a disruptive way, data may be released to assist in the targeting of IP blocks, or to assist in the formulation of a complaint to relevant Internet Service Providers
6. Where it is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of the AVR TV website, its users or the public.

The AVR TV website policy does not permit public distribution of such information under any circumstances, except as described above.

== Sharing information with third parties ==

Except where otherwise specified, all text submitted to this website is available for reuse.

We will not sell or share private information, such as email addresses, with third parties, unless you agree to release this information, or it is required by law to release the information.

== User data ==

Data on users, such as the times at which they posted comments, are publicly available in aggregated comment lists published on each “topic”, a topic being created for each podcast released on this site.

== Deletion of content ==

Information can be permanently deleted by people with access to the servers, but there is no guarantee whether or not this will happen except in response to legal action.
