Intellectual Property Rights

As OBDeleven asks others to respect OBDeleven' intellectual property rights, OBDeleven respects the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe content located on or linked to by the Website violates your copyright, you are encouraged to notify OBDeleven in accordance with OBDeleven' Digital Millennium Copyright Act Policy. 

OBDeleven may share certain personal data with forum members, such as admins, moderators, and other forum members  (collectively, "Forum Staff"), as set forth in the Privacy Policy. For example, when a user registers or posts to a forum, the user's email address, IP address, and time and date  of the post may be made available to the Forum Staff.

Under the laws of many jurisdictions, Forum Staff who have access to non-public personal data of users share OBDeleven' responsibility to ensure such data remains private and is used, transferred, or disclosed only in accordance with OBDeleven Privacy Policy. Accordingly, Forum Staff should only disclose user personal data to other Forum Staff on a need-to-know basis—for example, if a particular user is banned from the forum, the user’s IP address could be confidentially and securely disclosed to enforce the ban. Forum Staff should never publicly disclose personal data of users—including by posting it to the forum, even if the forum is private—unless the user has already publicly disclosed or expressly consented to disclosure of the data in question. Forum Staff are encouraged to take the proverbial high road in managing user conflicts and should never exploit non-public personal data in resolving such disputes.

If Forum Staff collects any personal data of users (including for analytics purposes) outside of what is collected and provided to them by OBDeleven, then they are responsible for ensuring they obtain the express informed consent of each user prior to doing so. It is up to the Forum Staff to ensure its disclosures, consent mechanism, usage, storing and sharing practices comply with all applicable laws.
