Privacy Policy

This forum is already GDPR compliant as you verified your email address and agreed to have your log-in data including email saved and used for future reference when you joined. By maintaining your membership in this forum, you give us permission to save your contact details. You can opt out of this at any time and delete your details but the content you have posted may or may not be deleted, depending on how it fits within discussion threads. Any retained content will be anonymised.

By using the forum you agree to your details being held by the forum for the purpose of providing you with forum access and thread subscriptions/reminders or whatever. We might use your email address and other identifying content shared by you and/or other users to get in touch outside of IB if there was an issue with something you had posted, but that has never happened and hopefully will never happen.

How your data is used

Impact Bumpers does not trade, sell or use your data for anything other than forum use. We don't market to you and we don't allow anyone else to market to you, hence there are no trade ads. We do have some traders on here but they are part of the community and recommended by the users. The board and its members are not for sale and we will not exploit you. That goes both ways, as you may not exploit anyone else on here either, so do not share pics that you do not have the copyright to and no sexist imagery or improper posts will be permitted.

Show respect to be respected

All are welcome to this forum including junior IBers and female enthusiasts, so keep that in mind when you are sharing your wisdom. The world is not all men of a certain age and Google shares much of what you write on here in the public domain. If anything kicks off as a result, you will own whatever you post and you can't edit it. Play nicely and no problem 🌈

The forum guidelines are here. Anyone who does not wish to abide by these terms should drop me an email so I can delete their account.

hCaptcha

We use the hCaptcha anti-bot service (hereinafter "hCaptcha") on our website. This service is provided by Intuition Machines, Inc., a Delaware US Corporation ("IMI"). hCaptcha is used to check whether the data entered on our website (such as on a login page or contact form) has been entered by a human or by an automated program. To do this, hCaptcha analyzes the behavior of the website or mobile app visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the website or mobile app visitor enters a part of the website or app with hCaptcha enabled. For the analysis, hCaptcha evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, how long the visitor has been on the website or app, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis will be forwarded to IMI. hCaptcha analysis in the "invisible mode" may take place completely in the background. Website or app visitors are not advised that such an analysis is taking place if the user is not shown a challenge. Data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (DSGVO): the website or mobile app operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its site from abusive automated crawling and spam. IMI acts as a "data processor" acting on behalf of its customers as defined under the GDPR, and a "service provider" for the purposes of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). For more information about hCaptcha and IMI's privacy policy and terms of use, please visit the following links: https://www.hcaptcha.com/privacy and https://www.hcaptcha.com/terms.
