No records on individuals, comprehensive or otherwise, will be collated and retained by Veil unless express permission is sought in special circumstances (such as building a portfolio of work for consideration should an individual be considered for a permanent position within Veil).
No user or individual’s information, data, or metadata will be sold or otherwise distributed to third parties. Circumstances may arise wherein Veil is compelled to provide such information by law if under extreme duress, at which point it becomes a legal matter subject to law.
Users are reminded that while Veil will adhere to the terms outlined above, Veil project cannot guarantee third parties will not garner such information for their own purposes, nor will Veil project be held responsible in such cases. It remains each user’s responsibility to manage what information they share in publicly visible channels such as forums, messageboards, and other such platforms.
