Privacy Rules
From HOL Wiki
Private information is anything that makes you personally identifiable. Anything that can connect your HOL identity to your real life identity is strictly forbidden in the HOL Forum and all HOL Areas (including house common rooms).
This includes, but is not limited to:
- your home or street address
- your telephone number (mobile or home)
- full name or address of your school
This is for your own safety. Do not reveal any private information in a place that can be accessed by anyone who is capable of doing a Google Search and sneaks onto HOL as a guest. The administrators and moderators do their best to watch out for everyone's safety--no personal information (real name, address, etc.) is stored anywhere online or offline. Do not post it in the forums or reveal it to anyone who asks you for it. This includes ANY contact information--if a moderator notices this information, it will be deleted immediately, and you will lose house points. If these acts are repeated, the student will be expelled for their own safety. It is also strictly forbidden to post such information of a third party!
There is no "HOL meeting service" or an "HOL dating service" for obvious reasons. All official HOL meetings or parties will have at least one Head Office member in attendance, and he or she will make sure that anyone underage has parental permission to attend the meeting.
Other recommendations for your own safety and privacy:
- you are encouraged to use a web-based email address for HOL (Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc., not your ISP's email address)
- you should use an HOL Identity (an HOL-Name), not your full real name, for this school. If you signed up for HOL with your real name by accident, you should change your HOL-Name by sending an email to the Headmaster.
