TF983 Privacy Policy

Task Force 983 – Privacy Policy

Issued by Major Callum Stroud, TF983 (Ret.) — Acting Compliance Officer by unfortunate assignment.

1.  Introduction

Right, listen up.

This website exists to share a fictional universe and its associated materials. You’re here to read, not to be surveilled. Still, modern law requires a degree of transparency — so here it is. Straight, clear, and without the usual legal theatrics.

When you visit this site, certain information is collected automatically. None of it is used to track your movements across the globe, read your thoughts, or infiltrate your biscuit tin. It’s simply how websites function.

If you’re comfortable with that, carry on. If not, close the site and pretend you never saw us.

2. What Information is Collected

A. Information You Provide Directly

If you choose to:

the site may collect:

We don’t verify identities. Call yourself “Lord Marmalade III of Wessex” if you like.

B. Information Collected Automatically

When you load a page, the system logs:

  • IP address (scrubbed regulary),
  • brower type,
  • device info,
  • general region (not your street address-calm yourself),
  • pages visited, and time stamps.

This helps keep the site running without bursting into flames. 🔥

C. Cookies

Yes, this website uses cookies. 🍪
No, not the edible kind-ask Pam for those.

Cookies manage:

  • basic site functions,
  • analytics (traffic only, no personal profiles),
  • remembering your preferences if you’ve set any.

You can disable cookies in your browser. The site may sulk, but it will survive.

3. Embedded Content

Posts may include embedded items from external platforms-for example:

  • YouTube,
  • Instagram,
  • social sharing buttons,
  • or image hosting services.

These third parties may collect data as if you visited their site directly. That’s their doing, not ours. Read their policies if you’ve the patience.

4. Analytics

This website may use:

  • Google Analytics,
  • Jetpack Site Stats,
  • or similar, depending on configuration.

These tools provide anonymous, aggregated information. We don’t chase you around the internet. We have better things to do.

5. How Your Data Is Used

Minimalistically and may be used to:

  • respond to your messages,
  • manage website traffic and performance,
  • detect and deter cyber-gremlins,
  • improve content based on reader interest.

It is not sold, traded, bartered, or passed to anyone outside legally required circumstances. TF983 does not fund itself by trafficking in your personal details.

6. How Long Data Is Kept

Only as long as needed.

  • Contact submissions: until addressed, then cleared.
  • Comments (if enabled): remain publically visible unless removed.
  • Server logs: routinely purged.
  • Analytics: retained by their respective tools in compliance with law.

We don’t maintain dossiers. That’s Veyr’s hobby, not ours.

7. Who Has Access

Access is restricted to:

  • the site administrator,
  • essential service providers (hosting, analytics),
  • and legal authorities only if compulsory..

No one on Team 983 sits around reading your IP addresses for entertainment.

8. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights such as:

  • requesting a copy of your data,
  • requesting deletion,
  • requesting correction,
  • withdrawing consent to cookies.

To exercise these rights, contact the administrator via the site’s contact page. Be civil; I respond faster to courtesy.

9. Security Measures

We apply reasonable measures:

  • encrypted connections (HTTPS),
  • routine updates,
  • restricted admin access.

If a breach ever occurs, you’ll be informed promptly — after we stop swearing.

10. Children’s Privacy

This site is not directed at anyone under 16.
If a minor sends information, it will be removed upon discovery. This universe contains adult themes, sarcasm, and the occasional emotionally maladjusted operator.

11. Changes to This Policy

If regulations change, or if Veyr decides to reorganize the world again, this policy may be updated. Revisions will be posted here with a new effective date.

12. Contact

Questions? Concerns? Desire to complain about cookie banners?
Contact the site administrator through the provided email or form.
I’ll respond as soon as operationally feasible — assuming Sean hasn’t unplugged anything.

Effective Date: December 1, 2025
