On the 14th August 2011, Voodoo SL will discontinue storing IP addresses in our database and will decommission existing IP address data, due to popular demand of Second Life residents.
We have always been within Linden Labs Terms of Service and have never used any exploits in the Second Life system to gather data. Any IP address information revealed to us, was done so by a user intentionally visiting our website which is explicitly allowed as per Section 4.3 of Linden Labs Terms of Service which is quoted below.
The Service may contain links to or otherwise allow connections to third-party websites, servers, and online services or environments that are not owned or controlled by Linden Lab. You agree that Linden Lab is not responsible or liable for the Content, policies, or practices of any third-party websites, servers, or online services or environments. Please consult any applicable terms of use and privacy policies provided by the third party for such websites, servers, or online services or environments.
In an effort to improve awareness we have recently introduced a detailed Voodoo Terms of Service document and clear warnings, before a user can give away any IP address information.
All our data is kept strictly confidential and used to enforce fair play in our Voodoo Sploder and other games and contests and is never disclosed.
This blog will be used to make detailed documentation of the exact changes we make to the system to give maximum transparency during the process. I will add screenshots, diagrams and technical specifications to expel any myths around the changes we are making.
