1. Introduction
If you only read the content of Spiritual Warriors Today website, no more
information is collected than is typically collected in server logs by web sites
in general.
If you contribute to the Spiritual Warriors Today!, you are publishing every
word you post publicly. If you write something, assume that it will be retained
forever. This includes biographies and articles posted on the blog. Some limited
exceptions are described below.
2. Publishing on Spiritual Warriors Today and public data
When you submit a biography, feedback or blog posting to any page in Spiritual
Warriors Today you are publishing a document. This is a public act, and you are
identified publicly with that submission as its author.
a) Identification of an author
When you publish to Spiritual Warriors Today you will need to be logged in.
If you are logged in, you will be identified by your user name. This may be your
real name if you so choose, or you may choose to publish under a pseudonym,
whatever user name you selected when you created your account.
When using a pseudonym, your IP address will not be available to the public
except in cases of abuse, including vandalism of Spiritual Warriors Today pages
by you or by another user with the same IP address. In all cases, your IP
address will be stored on the Spiritual Warriors Today servers and can be seen
by Spiritual Warriors Today's server administrators and by users who have been
granted access. Your IP address, and its connection to any usernames that share
it may be released under certain circumstances (see below).
If you use a company mail server from home or telecommute and use a DSL or cable
Internet connection, it is likely to be very easy for your employer to identify
your IP address and find all of your IP based Spiritual Warriors Today project
contributions. Using a user name is a better way of preserving your privacy in
this situation. However, remember to log out or disconnect yourself after each
session using a pseudonym on a shared computer, to avoid allowing others to use
your identity.
b) Cookies
Spiritual Warriors Today will set a temporary session cookie (PHPSESSID)
whenever you visit the site. If you do not intend to ever log in, you may deny
this cookie, but you cannot log in without it. It will be deleted when you close
your browser session.
More cookies may be set when you log in, to avoid typing in your user name (or
optionally password) on your next visit. These last up to 30 days. You may clear
these cookies after use if you are using a public machine and don't wish to
expose your username to future users of the machine. (If so, clear the browser
cache as well.)
c) Passwords
Many aspects of the Spiritual Warriors Today’s community interactions depend on
the reputation and respect that is built up through a history of valued
contributions. User passwords are the only guarantee of the integrity of a
user's edit history. All users are encouraged to select strong passwords and to
never share them. No one shall knowingly expose the password of another user to
public release either directly or indirectly.
3. Private logging
Every time you visit a web page, you send a lot of information to the web
server. Most web servers routinely maintain access logs with a portion of this
information, which can be used to get an overall picture of what pages are
popular, what other sites link to this one, and what web browsers people are
using. It is not the intention of the Spiritual Warriors Today to use this
information to keep track of legitimate users.
These logs are used to produce research statistics; the raw log data is not made
public, and is normally discarded after about two weeks.
Log data may be examined by developers in the course of solving technical
problems and in tracking down badly-behaved web spiders that overwhelm the site.
IP addresses of users, derived either from those logs or from records in the
database are frequently used to correlate usernames and network addresses of
edits in investigating abuse of the Spiritual Warriors Today! including the
suspected use of malicious "sockpuppets" (duplicate accounts), vandalism,
harassment of other users, or disruption of the website Spiritual Warriors
Today.
a) Policy on release of data derived from page logs
It is the policy of Spiritual Warriors Today! that personally identifiable data
collected in the server logs, or through records in the database via the
CheckUser feature, may be released by the system administrators or users with
CheckUser access, in the following situations:
- In response to a valid subpoena or other compulsory request from law
enforcement
- With permission of the affected user
- To the CEO or Spiritual Warriors Today!, his/her legal counsel, or his/her
designee, when necessary for investigation of abuse complaints.
- Where the information pertains to page views generated by a spider or bot
and its dissemination is necessary to illustrate or resolve technical issues.
- Where the user has been vandalizing articles or persistently behaving in a
disruptive way, data may be released to assist in the targeting of IP blocks,
or to assist in the formulation of a complaint to relevant Internet Service
Providers
- Where it is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property or safety
of Spiritual Warriors Today, its users or the public.
Spiritual Warriors Today! media policy does not permit public distribution of
such information under any circumstances, except as described above.
4. Sharing information with third parties

information, or it is required by law to release the information.

information you provide. This information may be available to anyone with access

exposed to any other subscriber. The list archives of most of Spiritual Warriors
Today’s mailing lists are public, and your address may find itself quoted in
messages. The list archives are also archived by Gmane and other services. Mails
are usually not deleted or modified, but it may be done in extreme cases.
c) Information email addresses
Submitting a request through the contact form http://www.Spiritualwarriorstoday.com/contact_us.php
may result in your mail being forwarded to a team of volunteers trusted by
Spiritual Warriors Today to use a ticket system to view them and answer your
request. Mail sent to the system is not publicly visible, but is visible to the
group of Spiritual Warriors Today volunteers. By sending a mail to one of these
addresses, your address may become public within this group. The ticket system
team may discuss the contents of your mail with other contributors in order to
best answer your query.
7. User data
Data on users, such as the times at which they edited and the number of edits
they have made are not publicly available but are visible to a group of trusted
Spiritual Warriors Today volunteers.
a) Removal of user accounts
Once created, user accounts will not be removed. It may be possible for a
username to be changed. Spiritual Warriors Today does not guarantee that a name
will be changed on request.
Whether specific user information is deleted is dependant on the deletion
policies of the project that contains the information.
8. Deletion of content
Removing text from Spiritual Warriors Today projects does not permanently delete
it. In normal articles, a group of trusted Spiritual Warriors Today volunteers
can look at a previous version and see what was there. If an article is
"deleted", any user with "administrator" access on Spiritual Warriors Today,
meaning almost anyone trusted not to abuse the deletion capability, can see what
was deleted. Information can be permanently deleted by those people with access
to the servers, but there is no guarantee this will happen except in response to
legal action.
