Privacy policy

How Serving East London collects, uses and protects your information.

What we collect

  • Your Discord ID, username, avatar and (if you allow it) email address when you sign in with Discord.
  • The roleplay name, real date of birth and Steam profile link you give us when applying.
  • Game identifiers (Discord, FiveM licence, Steam) and session times when you join our game server.
  • Things you create in the FMS: duty sessions, reports, forum posts, messages and applications.

Why we use it

  • To check you meet our requirements (age, Steam account, GTA V ownership) and approve your whitelist.
  • To give you the right Discord roles and set your nickname to your shoulder number and roleplay name.
  • To run the community: duty records, training, moderation and keeping members safe.

Who can see it

  • Your date of birth and Steam link are visible only to whitelist staff.
  • Moderation records and staff notes are visible only to authorised staff.
  • When you apply, your Discord ID is checked against STORM Systems' community reputation service (through Matrix FMS, which runs this FMS). Only your Discord ID is sent; we receive your reputation score and any deductions.
  • We never sell your data or share it outside the community, except where required by law.

How long we keep it

  • If you leave our Discord your account is deactivated. After 5 days your personal data can be purged; operational records are anonymised.
  • The FMS is backed up every night. Backups are kept for 14 days, so purged data disappears from them after that.
  • Encrypted copies of the backups are also kept with our storage provider, and deleted on the same schedule.
  • You can ask staff to delete your data at any time by opening a ticket.

Serving East London is a fictional roleplay community and is not affiliated with any real emergency service or government body.
