PRIVACY POLICY
The privacy of our users is important to us; therefore, we do our very best to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Union. Our server is located in Germany, EU. If you have suggestions on how we can improve, we would be pleased to receive your feedback.
- PDRoms supports and recommends HTTPS.
- We collect server data locally. IP addresses are stored for a period of two months for the sole purpose of blocking malicious or suspicious actions, thereby protecting our server and the data of our users.
- We use the existing Spamhaus Block List (“SBL”) to pre-block access to our servers. If we detect a spammer ourselves, we block the IP address locally and do not submit it back to the SBL.
- We use the existing Spamhaus Exploits Block List (“XBL”) to pre-block access to our servers. If we detect malicious activity ourselves, we block the IP address locally and do not submit it back to the XBL.
- Sharing buttons for social media platforms are inactive unless explicitly clicked.
- Embedded media will load data from external servers to enable playback. This applies to media linked to YouTube, Vimeo, SoundCloud, etc. API pre-loading is reduced to an absolute minimum.
CONTENT
All downloads on PDRoms are free software or former commercial software legalised for free use by their authors, published under various licenses.
Our archive also includes fan games. Please note that these projects are usually developed without the explicit permission of the respective copyright holders. While they are created by enthusiasts for the community, we understand that the existence of these games may cause concern for some copyright owners or individuals.
We try our absolute best to keep this website as clean and legally compliant as possible; however, given the nature of community submissions, sometimes these measures might not be enough. To the best knowledge of our staff, PDRoms does not intentionally contain any commercially copyrighted material that does not meet ‘fair use’ legal terms, including, but not limited to, commercial ROMs. It is not our intention to promote piracy or to reduce revenue for companies that produce games.
Should there be an oversight and unauthorized or contested material is identified on our server, please contact the webmaster via e-mail immediately. Any such material will be removed as soon as possible. All trademarks belong to their respective owners.
This site may contain adult-content homebrew software, but such items are not publicly visible or illustrated, and cannot be downloaded. They remain locally stored exclusively to keep the archive complete. This site is intended for mature audiences who are not offended by casual, opinionated remarks by the staff in news postings or by anyone posting in the comments section.
REFERRALS AND LINKS
Please exercise caution when following older external links on this website. As this project is decades old, some linked content is no longer valid. Over the years, external pages or domains may have been expired, sold, or restructured by third parties for entirely different, or potentially questionable, purposes.
While our team carefully checked each external page to avoid illegal or inappropriate content at the time of the original posting, we cannot control subsequent changes to external domains. Please let us know via e-mail if you spot any broken or compromised links so that we can remove them immediately.
COPYRIGHT
Our authors intend not to use any copyrighted material for publication or, where this is not possible, to indicate the copyright of the respective object. The copyright for such material remains with its original author.
Material created by our authors is copyrighted by PDRoms – please give credit where due! Automated parsing and publishing of our news or RSS content is not permitted without prior written consent.
LEGAL VALIDITY
If sections or individual terms of this statement are not legal or correct, the content and validity of the remaining parts remain unaffected by this fact.
