Your Contact Information
Participants’ contact information, if submitted (i.e., through our Facebook account, Contact Us, or through the website’s comment section) will not be shared with anyone nor it will be used for spamming. If applicable, it is recommended only to put information that you’re comfortable to submit. We are NOT in the business of asking financial-related information (e.g., credit card, and bank account), physical address, legal name, pieces of information in your UMID, and referral-related matters. When you see these nature of emails stating that it’s from us, it is highly recommended to avoid clicking any links; never reply; mark it as spam, or delete it and perform measures to block it reaching to your inbox. However, there might be some instances for us to communicate with some selected participants in regards to improving the site and its contents initially through our Facebook account or when someone sends us a message through our contact us. Interested donors are also welcome by starting donors are also welcome by starting to click on the “donate” button which might happen in the future depending on the project’s development. As of now, we choose not to receive any financial donations yet. Also, visitors could also expect us initiating fundraising activities in the future through selling gods, but only as someone visits the website, and NOT through email.
Comments, Sharing, and other related activities.
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Any information you disclose in your public activities along with your screen name or ID, or any image or photo becomes public and may be used for the purposes that are outside the scope of our terms and conditions by third-party participants. We are not responsible for the personal information you choose to submit in the course of your public activities or submissions. In addition, the administrators of this site might decide to study the participants’ comments to (i) stay relevant, (ii) gather sentiments, (iii) provide us an idea on who might receive an invitation to contribute or to be as our partner, (iv) improve the site in general and its contents, or (v) be more helpful to its readers in the future.
We may use the name you provide for your social media accounts to verify legit accounts and to discourage the appearance of comments from the socialbots and trolls. We will respect the choices you make to limit sharing or visibility settings in your social media account. We would rather have no comments if all is left out there are fake accounts, bots, trolls, and alike.
We are not responsible with your public activities using this site, and you agree that such sharing will be deemed to have been done by you when sharing or recommending links to content.
Comments made using Facebook comment plugin are public, and others can trace your profile information once the comment is posted. Please take measures to protect it or manage the privacy settings of your Facebook account.
We would appreciate if someone shared posts from this site, it would help inspire us and maybe continue to receive the feeling of being wanted. However, participants should also be aware that social media accounts can detect someone’s internet activities through sharing and liking, while hopefully, keeping your privacy. Again, we recommend managing/updating your privacy settings to avoid unwelcome guests peaking on your accounts.
