Privacy Policy
The protection of your personal data online is of the utmost importance to us. This means that everything you share with us remains strictly private — we do not share or sell information to third parties. Furthermore, we only use the data for its intended purposes.
This statement only addresses activities carried out from our servers.
Other sites (in particular those for which this Website has links and the third-party sites or services to which www.softboardcenter.com is connected) may have their own privacy policy, independent of us.
Each of these has separate privacy and data collection practices, independent of Softboard Center. Softboard Center accepts no responsibility for these independent policies and actions and is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of said websites.
Please be aware that whenever you voluntarily and publicly provide personal data on an online service or website (for example on forums, by email or in chat areas), this information may be collected and used by others.
Thus, if you post personal data online in a publicly accessible area, you may receive unsolicited messages from third parties. Furthermore, although we do everything in our power to protect your personal data, Softboard Center cannot guarantee the security of the information you transmit to us; you do so at your own risk. It is your sole responsibility to keep your passwords and/or any information relating to your account confidential.
Please exercise caution and responsibility when online.
Softboard Center will not disclose any information about anyone without prior consent, unless required by applicable law or legal procedure.
