Information Collection and Use

Information Collected Upon Registration: When you create or reconfigure an IMARS account, you provide some personal information, such as your username (email address), and password. You will also create a display name. Your display name will be listed publicly on our Services, including on your profile page. Thus, we recommend that you do not use your real name, or any personal information in your display name.

Additional Information: If you email us, we may keep your message, email address and contact information to respond to your request.

Cookies: Like many websites, we use cookies to maintain the user session. A cookie is a small data file that is transferred to your computer's hard disk. Without cookies, you wouldn’t be able to log in. Cookies are not used for any information tracking. Most Internet browsers automatically accept cookies. You can instruct your browser, by changing its settings, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit. However, you won’t be able to log in to IMARS if you disable cookies.

Log Data: Our servers automatically record information ("Log Data") created by your use of the Services. IMARS will log your user profile and in association with the profile information, we will log all of your missions and your mission point results.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

Law and Harm: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Policy, we may preserve or disclose your information if we believe that it is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation or legal request; to protect the safety of any person; to address fraud, security or technical issues; or to protect IMARS's rights or property. However, nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to limit any legal defenses or objections that you may have to a third party’s, including a government’s, request to disclose your information.

Non-Private or Non-Personal Information: We may share or disclose your non-private, aggregated or otherwise non-personal information, such as your mission scores and the mission plans you submit for evaluation.

We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. The most current version of the policy will govern our use of your information and will always be at http://imars.uwo.ca/privacy. If we make a change to this policy that, in our sole discretion, is material, we will notify you via an email to the email address associated with your account. By continuing to access or use the Services after those changes become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Privacy Policy.
