A short, plain-English privacy notice for ptfarmada.com.
For personal data that PTF Armada decides how and why to process through ptfarmada.com and its community email, the data controller is PTF Armada, an independent, non-commercial Star Trek Online player community administered from the United Kingdom. Privacy enquiries and data-protection requests can be sent to contact@ptfarmada.com.
PTF Armada has not appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO). Privacy enquiries and data-protection requests are handled through contact@ptfarmada.com.
Public browsing does not require you to create an account or provide a name. Ordinary technical request data may be processed when the site is used, such as IP address, browser or device information, requested pages, timestamps and security logs. If you email PTF Armada, your email address, message and any information you choose to include are processed so we can deal with the enquiry. Authorised administrators may also have authentication identifiers processed by Google Firebase when using the private Admin area.
The limited processing above is used to deliver and secure the website, keep public fleet information working, diagnose faults, administer authorised access and respond to messages. Where UK data-protection law applies, the legal basis is normally PTF Armada's legitimate interests in operating, protecting and administering the community website and handling communications. We do not use personal data from this website for advertising or behavioural profiling.
We share personal data only with recipients needed to operate the relevant service. The recipients or categories of recipients of personal data are: Cloudflare, for DNS, website delivery, security and email routing; Google services, for authorised Firebase administration and the dedicated community email destination; and Discord, when the public site requests invite information. PTF Armada does not sell personal data and does not disclose website data to advertisers or data brokers. Each provider handles information under its own service and data-protection terms.
Cloudflare, Google and Discord operate internationally, so limited information may be processed outside the United Kingdom. Where UK rules on restricted international transfers apply, the relevant provider's transfer safeguards and contractual arrangements apply.
PTF Armada does not maintain its own visitor analytics database. Website and security logs held by service providers are kept according to the providers' operational retention settings. Email correspondence and administrative records are kept only for as long as reasonably needed to deal with the enquiry, community matter, security issue or legitimate administrative record for which they were received. Information that is no longer needed is not intentionally retained by PTF Armada.
Where UK GDPR rights apply, your data subject rights may include the right of access, the right to rectification, the right to erasure, the right to restrict processing, the right to object to processing and the right to data portability. These rights depend on the circumstances and are not absolute. To exercise a data protection right or make a data-subject request, email contact@ptfarmada.com. You are not required to provide personal data merely to browse the public pages; if you contact us, we need enough information to understand and respond to your request.
If you have a concern about how personal data is handled, please contact PTF Armada first if you are comfortable doing so. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the United Kingdom supervisory authority, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), at ico.org.uk.
PTF Armada does not use this website to make automated decisions about visitors and does not profile visitors for advertising.
