We may occasionally send bulk e-mails about Nerd on the Street, or matters relating to our content, to our members. These bulk e-mails can be opted out of on your profile page. We will not send bulk e-mails (or allow others to send bulk e-mails) which we believe would be considered spam.
We will not share private details other than what can be seen in the forum profile and public postings unless legally required to do so.
The staff reserve the right to read any Private Topics and posts placed on this website. Any form of conversation made through this website should be considered viewable by staff. All private-posts and posts, whether 'deleted' or not, are stored on the server and may be reviewed if we feel we have cause for an investigation. If you do want to keep something private, do not use our services for transmitting it. Situations involving investigations can be anything at our discretion (for example, to investigate specific incidents of our services being used for harassment).
