Floodgap Terms of Service and Privacy Policy
This document may be changed at any time without notice
Floodgap.com is happy to serve you a wide variety of unique services, sites and
information resources on the multiple modalities it offers, including Gopher,
HTTP/WWW and others. Floodgap does not run ads on local pages, and all of the
services provided to you are funded by the private owners of this site, as well
as donations of hardware, network services, and location costs. Please respect
the unique and free services it offers by reading and abiding by these strict
terms of service, enforceable by immediate and indefinite address blocking and/or
reporting your system to your upstream service provider for disconnection.
These terms of service are subject to change without notice. In the below terms,
"site" shall indicate any server maintained by Floodgap that offers content,
which may be one or multiple physical machines; these terms of service apply
equally to any of these systems regardless. Your use of this site indicates your
full acceptance of these terms without amendment or limitation. If you do not
agree with these terms, please do not use Floodgap services further.
1. E-mail and contact addresses are provided for your convenience only. Spamming
them would be a really dumb idea, as all spam and other unsolicited
commercial E-mail sent to these addresses will be traced and reported
appropriately.
2. Except where specifically allowed by license in writing, any information this
site may provide is for your private non-commercial use only, and is in no
way to be sold, rented, hired out or collected in aggregate form for any
method of distribution, private or otherwise, without the express written
consent of the administration. This includes but is not limited to: all web
page content, scripts and images; all multimedia content; any and all Gopher
and other file access services. Material may be copyrighted and may have
additional restrictions on its dissemination even if Floodgap permits you to
use it.
If you use software packages offered by Floodgap, regardless of whether they
were authored by Floodgap, allowable usage is entirely determined by the
license within. This may or may not permit commercial use or redistribution,
and you are responsible for complying with the license completely under all
circumstances, whether used commercially or otherwise.
3. Attempting to compromise this site's security (or any of its component
servers) in any way is forbidden, and may be illegal in your jurisdiction.
Attempts are logged, and may be presented to your network administrator
and/or appropriate authorities without warning, even if allegedly committed
without malicious intent.
As a corollary, addresses with defective DNS reverse-lookup may be subject to
temporary ban. This is not only because a faulty reverse lookup interferes
with internal threat detection, but also because a misconfigured DNS server
may generate unacceptable system delays while the site is waiting for a
response. Sorry. Please tell your ISP to fix this if you think your DNS is to
blame.
4. The use of web spiders, web site copy agents, and other robots or robot-like
activity to download and/or copy this site's content is expressly forbidden,
other than specifically permitted robots indexing this site for publicly
available search engines and information resources, the list of which is
privately and exclusively determined by this site's administrators. Please
enjoy this site's content online.
Be forewarned: Floodgap has taken a very hard line against copy agents due to
their irresponsible proliferation. These programs frequently issue rapid-fire
requests which increase peak CPU and network load; multiple local copies make
proper version control impossible; and furthermore, local copies of
copyrighted material may be in violation of the terms Floodgap was granted
for its use. Server logs are routinely scanned for robot- and crawler-like
activity, and such activity may lead to your network address or netblock
being transiently or indefinitely banned from this site without notice. If
you are a robot administrator and your robot has been banned from this site,
it is either overloading this server, or ignoring directives (such as
tags, which are used heavily to cordon off areas). Please correct your
software before you contact the administration.
5. Proxy or gateway services offered by this site, including but not limited to
GopherHTTP and Hytelnet, are not designed to offer you any meaningful
anonymity. You should not assume that your browsing is anonymous when using
these services, and you may be automatically and/or transparently directly
connected to the server site without warning. Furthermore, all use of gateway
and proxy services is fully logged with client address and requests made for
accounting purposes. The use of these proxy or gateway services to defeat,
weaken or otherwise circumvent the Internet usage policies of your client
network or of the remote server site accessed through the proxy or gateway
service is strictly prohibited, and such activity may lead to network address
blocks being transiently or indefinitely banned from this site without
notice. Robots attempting to crawl proxy services, which are clearly marked
with tags to block their indexing, will be banned upon discovery,
indefinitely.
6. Site use is completely at your own risk. No warranty, express or implied, is
issued for any content, including but not limited to programs, images and
documents, that this site may offer. Furthermore, you are granted no
guarantee considering any aspect of said content, including but not limited
to the veracity, utility, resemblance to fact, or situational applicability
thereof.
That said, this site does endeavour to present factual information at all
times. Please report specific enquiries or concerns to the administration.
7. Floodgap.com values your privacy. No personal information is requested of you
to use this site. Web and gopher server logs are only collected for the
purpose of verifying system functionality, contain only the actual request,
the user's IP address and user agent, and are erased every 24 hours. No
cookies are sent and no session ID is assigned. No permanent record of your
activity on Floodgap nor any user profile compiled from your activity on
Floodgap is maintained.
There is no data to provide to any user who requests it under the European
Union General Data Protection Regulation as Floodgap lacks the personal
information to match a specific user to such data, even within the 24-hour
period prior to log erasure. Aggregate counts may be maintained for longer
periods for the purpose of historical access statistics, which also contain
no individual personally identifiable information and have IP addresses and
user agents removed. Such data is not shared with other entities and is not
used for marketing or advertising purposes, and similarly cannot be matched
to any user who may request it under the EU GDPR.
There is no data to be deleted on any user who requests it under the
California Consumer Privacy Act as Floodgap lacks the personal information to
match a specific user to such data, even within the 24-hour period prior to
log erasure. Aggregate counts may be maintained for longer periods for the
purpose of historical access statistics, which also contain no individual
personally identifiable information and have IP addresses and user agents
removed. Such data is not shared with other entities and is not used for
marketing or advertising purposes, and similarly cannot be matched to any
user who may request it to be deleted under the CCPA. Additionally, Floodgap
is not subject to the CCPA even if such information were available, as it
does not have annual gross revenues in excess of $25 million, and as it
neither buys nor sells user information, it therefore necessarily does not
buy or sell the personal information of 50,000 or more consumers or
households nor does it earn more than half its annual revenue from selling
visitors' personal information.
All legal issues regarding the operation of this server shall be adjudicated in
accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States of America,
where the server and Floodgap are physically located.
Specific questions or concerns may be addressed to the site administration at
