I just clicked the Devnet button, filled out my info and cannot see the forums. Is there a wait time before Participation?

I think you might have forgotten to submit your details as you are still showing up as L1 in the system.

I can't seem to find any legal information on what egosoft is allowed to do with your contact info, when joining devnet?

Dragoongfa · Post by **Dragoongfa** » Sat, 21. Feb 09, 17:26

Egosoft does nothing with the contact details, they are in there just in case they need to contact a L3 user outside of the site.

I believe under UK law (Data Protection Act) they are not allowed to pass on your details to a third party without your prior consent and I believe are required to treat it as confidential information (so are required to protect the information appropriatly)...

Essentially the data protection act means they can't use your data for anything other than that which you have agreed.

In other words, they can't sell it off to others for marketing unless you have agreed (seen all those "allow special partners to contact you about promotions and offers" on forms these days?).

The UK legislation (which doesn't cover Egosoft) is designed to meet the requirements of the European data protection legislation, so I imagine Germany has something similar. The basic premise is that companies cannot use your personal data for purposes other than the one you gave them the details for. This doesn't stop an organisation from passing your details on to another company, provided that that company is carrying out appropriate work for the company you gave your details to. The second company must also be bound by the same rules governing the use of the personal data. If that isn't complicated enough, you then have to work out why you're giving your data to the company. If you're buying something, then it's obviously so they can send you the goods (and maybe pass details on to a credit card company, if you pay with one); in other cases it might not be so clear.

What it comes down to is: Are you happy that you know what the company is going to do with your data?; Are you happy for them to do it?; Do you trust the company to keep within the legislation? If the answer to any of these questions is no, don't give them any personal data.

I think that if Egosoft were in the habit of giving the details you provided to other companies, somebody L3 or above would have noticed by now!

An extremely limited group of people. Forum moderators and even most of the site admins do not have access. Only those involved in managing DevNet membership and administering the DevNet database are able to access the data, and even they will only access it when they have a genuine need to do so.

I can see L3 on the side of the site but I cannot find any new forums (other than now I can see all the diff language forums).

Carlo the Curious · Post by **Carlo the Curious** » Mon, 23. Feb 09, 10:30

The L3+ forums should be down the bottom of the index. Failing that, there's a direct link to the beta forum at the bottom of page 1.

I can't find the L3 section of the forums in the index, however the direct link works.

StormMagi · Post by **StormMagi** » Tue, 24. Feb 09, 00:26

It is showing up now, I am guessing it just needed some time to work through the system.

neiko · Post by **neiko** » Thu, 26. Feb 09, 10:22

still not working for me... ( I see that I'm a LvL3 but cannot see the forum)

Post by **CBJ** » Thu, 26. Feb 09, 10:31

All the settings are correct. Give it a few hours, and also try logging out and back in again.

neiko · Post by **neiko** » Thu, 26. Feb 09, 10:37
