If you have forgotten your password, our super stealthy gnomes can setup a new one for you and will deliver it directly to your inbox.
The Starting Tavern collects personal information in the following ways:
1. Account Sign Up
When a new account is created, we ask the user to supply a firstname, password, and e-mail address. The email is provided by the user and is the primary means of identifying the user throughout the site. The password is considered sensitive personal information and is kept securely and as it is encrypted it can never be shared with third parties. The e-mail address is considered sensitive personal information and is used as detailed below.
2. Campaign Invitations
When a user sends invitations to join a campaign, we ask for the e-mail address of the invitee. This e-mail address is never shared with third parties.
3. Automated Tracking
The Starting Tavern automatically receives and records certain "traffic data" on our server's logs from your browser including, but not limited to, your ip address, operating system, The Starting Tavern cookie information, and the page you requested.
The Starting Tavern uses any information voluntarily given by our users to enhance their experience in our sites, whether to provide interactive or personalized elements on the sites or to better prepare future content based on the interests of our users.
As stated above, we use information that users voluntarily provide in order to send out electronic newsletters and to enable users to participate in campaigns and game content generation. The Starting Tavern never shares e-mail addresses with any third parties, including advertisers, sponsors or partners.
We use return email addresses to answer the email we receive. Such addresses are not used for any other purpose and are not shared with outside parties.
We use "traffic data" to determine which areas of our sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you. We track search terms entered in Search function as one of many measures of what interests our users, but we don't track which terms a particular user enters.
Advertisements shown to you may be related to textual information, such as metadata and notes, associated with the photo you are seeing, or the search term you entered.
Finally, we never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.
We may place a text file called a "cookie" in the browser files of your computer. The cookie itself does not contain Personal Information although it will enable us to relate your use of this site to information that you have specifically and knowingly provided. But the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. The Starting Tavern uses cookies to provide the "remember me" functionality upon login.
You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If you've set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning message with each cookie. You do not need to have cookies turned on to use this site.
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. We periodically review our security procedures, and only authorized individuals have access to the information provided by our users.
Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. Consistent with the Federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly request personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13, and no part of our website is structured to attract anyone under 13.
The Starting Tavern may disclose your personal information in order to comply with applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of our users or the public.
1. The Starting Tavern provides the ability to opt-out of e-mail newsletters by updating the user's profile and choosing not to receive e-mail updates.
You can access all your personally identifiable information that we collect online and maintain by using your username and password to log onto the website http://www.startingtavern.com or by contacting us at privacy@startingtavern.com We use this procedure to better safeguard your information.

To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections.
