Attention: Roll20 is no longer maintaining this document on the community wiki. For the most up-to-date information please visit this page on our help center for assistance: Here.

Contents

English, not Legalese

Most Terms of Service and Privacy Policy documents are unreadable. They are written by lawyers and for lawyers, and in our opinion are not very effective.

Because we believe in establishing long-term relationships with our customers, we decided to use plain English instead, to make our terms as clear as possible.

Please don’t forget that we are real people: take a look at our about page to get to know us a little. We are not perfect, but we’re trying our hardest, because we genuinely care about your success.

When you read Orr Group or "we" below, it refers to The Orr Group, LLC, its affiliates, and agents.

Should you have other questions or concerns about this document, please send us an e-mail at team@roll20.net.

Using Roll20 means accepting these terms

By accessing or using Roll20 in any way, whether you have created your own Roll20 account or are invited to view someone’s private content on Roll20 (such as joining a game as a player), or are just browsing around, you agree to and are bound by the terms and conditions written in this document.

If you do not agree to all of the terms and conditions contained in this document, do not access Roll20.

This is a living document

This is a living document. With your help, we want to make it the best in the industry. If you read something that rubs you the wrong way, or if you think of something that should be added, please get in touch! We’re all ears! Contact us through our web form and we’ll chat.

We don’t amend this document for any particular customer, but if your changes apply to all of our customers, we’ll be happy to update it for everyone. Scroll to the bottom to see the history so far. We will likely improve this document over time. By continuing to use the site, you will implicitly accept the changes we make. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated document to this site and updating the “Document History” section below. Your access and use of Roll20 is always subject to the most current version of this document.

Breach of Terms

If you breach any of the terms and conditions in this document, your authorization to access or use Roll20 automatically terminates. Any materials downloaded or printed from Roll20 in violation of the Terms of Service must be immediately destroyed.

We may block, restrict, disable, suspend or terminate your access to all or part of Roll20 at any time in our sole discretion, without prior notice or liability to you.

If you think we removed your access by mistake, let us know and we’ll give you our reasoning. We also have a quick way to restore access without losing any of your data.

Support

Support for Roll20 is provided via our Community Forums. We also provide a Help and Documentation Site with guides and screencasts that provide instruction on performing common tasks.

Access to your data

What personal data do you collect and why?

When you use Roll20, we may ask that you provide us with certain personally identifiable information so we can provide and support Roll20, which includes: • Name (including Display Name) • E-mail address

We do not collect Credit Card information directly. See Who can see my credit card number? below.

We use return e-mail addresses to answer the e-mail we receive. Such addresses are not used for any other purpose and are not shared with outside parties. We may also collect information that your browser automatically sends when you visit the Roll20 site or when you use Roll20, such as your IP address, “cookie information, and the pages you visit. We use this information to gather general statistics on your usage and for abuse prevention. Your internet browser must be enabled to accept cookies from roll20.net in order for you to use Roll20. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies, but you can change your settings to notify you when a cookie is being set or updated, or to block cookies altogether. For more information about cookies, see the Unofficial Cookie FAQ at cookiecentral.com. You can opt out of certain internet advertising through the Network Advertising Initiative’s (NAI) Opt Out Tool (http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices) and in the EU at http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. We, and third-party vendors acting on our behalf use web tools like first-party and third-party cookies, tracking pixels, and scripting techniques to gather and store anonymous analytics and statistics about the Roll20 and how it is being used so we can improve it.

California Disclosures

The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 ("CCPA") requires us to provide additional privacy-related information and rights to residents of California. The section above What personal information do we collect and why? lists the categories of personal information we have collected and used from and about California residents in the preceding 12 months.

The section below How is my data shared? lists who we have shared personal information with in the preceding 12 months for the following purposes: 1) to provide and improve the Roll20 site and products; 2) to communicate with you for Roll20 support, including with helpdesk tickets; 3) for payment processing; 4) for security and compliance reasons, including monitoring forum posts, in-game chat logs, private messages and wish lists; and 5) to meet our legal requirements. The personal information we collect, use and share correspond with the following categories of personal information provided under the CCPA:

• Identifiers including name, username, IP address, email address and account number; • Information that identifies or is capable of being associated with under the California Customer Records statute (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.80(e)); • Commercial information about Roll20 products purchased and Paizo products purchased (if you connect your Paizo account to Roll20); • Internet and network activity information; and • Inferences drawn from any of your personal information collected reflecting your preferences and profile.

Subject to certain exceptions, California residents have the right to: (i) request access to your personal information; and (ii) request deletion of your personal information. If you want to exercise your CCPA rights, please visit our web form or contact us and include “CCPA Request” in the subject line of your email at:

Attn: Data Protection Officer Jeffrey Lamb team@roll20.net

We try to respond to all requests within 10 days. To protect your privacy, we may need additional information so we can verify your identity before fulfilling your request. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights.

Who can see my password?

No-one. We never store your password unencrypted, so no-one can read it.

It is your sole responsibility to keep your email, password and other sensitive information confidential. If you become aware of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security, you shall notify Orr Group immediately.

If you forget your password, we send you a secure link via email that lets you reset it.

Who can see my credit card number?

No-one at Orr Group. We use the very trustworthy and secure Stripe payment service. Read about their security measures on the Stripe Terms of Service (in short, they encrypt your credit card info using industry-standard practices).

Our Commitment to Children’s Privacy

Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. For that reason, minors in the US who are under 13 and minors in the EU who are under 16 cannot use Roll20. If you are a minor, you can only use Roll20 with your parents or guardians. We never collect or maintain information at our website from those we actually know are minors. If we learn that a minor has provided personal information to us without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information.

How can I access or correct my information?

You can access all your personally identifiable information that we collect online and maintain by logging in to Roll20 and visiting the My Account page.

Who can access my campaigns and other content?

By default, all campaigns and other assets that you create or upload to Roll20 are private. However, if you invite players to join your game, or choose to share your campaigns with other Roll20 users, then they will have access to view those specific campaigns and any assets used in those campaigns. Any assets that you upload to the Roll20 Marketplace will also be made public under the license that you select when the asset is submitted.

What are the guidelines Orr Group follows when accessing my data?

• We restrict who at Orr Group can access customer data on as needed basis.

• We only do it in response to a customer support question, or to look at issues affecting the entire Roll20 application.

• We only do it in order to debug and fix the issue.

• We never make changes to anything unless explicitly requested by a user.

• We never ever ever share what we see with other customers or the general public.

• We might give access to US authorities if requested in writing. We’ll try not to, but we don’t have the resources to fight the government. We’ll also keep the account owner informed as much as we can if this happens.

How is my data protected from another customer’s data?

All of our customers’ data resides in the same database. We use software best practices to guarantee that only people who you designate as viewers of your data can access it. In other words, we segment our customer data via software. We do our best and are very confident we’re doing a good job at it, but, like every other web app that hosts their customers data on the same database, cannot guarantee that a sophisticated hacker cannot access other people’s data. If you believe that your data is no longer secure, please contact us immediately.

How is my data stored?

Your personal information may be transferred, stored and processed in the United States or any other country where we or our service providers maintain facilities.

Your acceptance of the Privacy Policy creates your consent to the transfer, storage and processing of your personal information across countries and to and from the third parties with whom we share that personal information.

How is my data shared?

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to others and have not done so in the past 12 months. We share personal information with others only in the following ways: 1) if we are required by law, such as protect or rights and/or property, to prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing, and to protect the personal safety of users or the public; 2) with our third-party service providers to perform tasks on our behalf, including hosting, database, network, payment processing, and relate services to support Roll20; and 3) if we sell all or part of our business, make a transfer pursuant to a merger, or are involved in a bankruptcy. If we want to share your personal information for another purpose not covered by this Privacy Policy, then we will provide you with notice explaining this new sharing and obtain your consent (if applicable) prior to doing so.

Intellectual Property Rights

Who owns Orr Group materials?

Orr Group materials are all the information, data, documents (e.g. white papers, press releases, datasheets, FAQs, etc.), communications, downloads, files, text, images, photographs, graphics, videos, webcasts, publications, content, tools, resources, software, code, programs and products on Roll20 produced by Orr Group.

You agree that you will not decompile, reverse engineer or otherwise attempt to discover the source code of the software. Any copying or redistribution of the software is prohibited, including any copying or reproduction of the software to any other server or location for further reproduction, redistribution or use on a service bureau basis. Any unauthorized use, copying or distribution of the software is expressly prohibited by law, and may result in severe civil and criminal penalties. Violators will be prosecuted to the maximum extent possible.

The trademarks, logos and service marks displayed on this Site are the property of The Orr Group, LLC or other third parties. You are not permitted to use them without the prior written consent of The Orr Group, LLC or such third party that may own the Marks. Roll20 and the Roll20 logo are trademarks of The Orr Group, LLC.

  • Orr Group materials may not be modified or altered in any way.
  • Orr Group materials on Roll20 may not be distributed or sold, rented, leased, licensed or otherwise made available to others.
  • You may not remove any copyright or other proprietary notices contained in the Orr Group materials.
  • You may not copy or distribute any graphics in the Orr Group materials apart from their accompanying text.
  • You will not quote or display Orr Group materials, or any portions thereof, out of context.
  • Orr Group reserves the right to revoke the authorization to view, download and print the Orr Group materials available via Roll20 at any time, and any such use shall be discontinued immediately upon notice from Orr Group.
  • The rights granted to you constitute a license and not a transfer of title.
  • Any Orr Group materials made available only upon payment of a fee may only be viewed, downloaded and printed subject to your payment of such fee.

Who owns the IP of my campaigns and uploaded content?

Orr Group does not claim intellectual property rights over campaigns or uploaded content on Roll20.

We leave it to each Roll20 user to decide who should own the IP of the materials created using their Roll20 account.

Content that you upload to the Roll20 Marketplace remains the IP of the original creator, and becomes subject to the additional terms found in the Marketplace End User Licese Agreement (EULA).

You acknowledge and agree that Roll20 has no liability of any kind should anyone you granted access to your content modify, destroy, corrupt, copy or distribute it, or violate the Terms of Service or other limitations that you may impose on the use of your shared content.

Orr Group does not pre-screen user materials that users provide or otherwise submit via Roll20; however, Orr Group may remove any posted or submitted user materials from Roll20 for any reason without notice in its sole discretion. By posting or submitting your user materials, you represent and warrant that you own or otherwise control all of the intellectual property rights and other rights to your user materials as described in these Terms of Service, including all the rights necessary for you to post or submit your user materials.

In addition, by posting or otherwise submitting your user materials that contain images, photographs, pictures, videos, webcasts or that are otherwise graphical in whole or in part (“Images”), you represent and warrant that: (a) you own the copyright in such Images, or that you have obtained all necessary license(s) from the copyright owner(s) of such Images to use such Images, or portions thereof, in keeping with your use in connection with Roll20 and as otherwise permitted by these Terms of Service; (b) you have the rights necessary to grant the licenses and sublicenses described in these Terms of Service; and (c) you have received consent from any and all persons depicted in such Images to use the Images as set forth in these Terms of Service, including the distribution, public display, public performance and reproduction of such Images.

You are solely and entirely responsible for all of your user materials that you post or otherwise submit via Roll20. You shall assume all risks associated with the use of your user materials including any reliance on the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of your user materials. Orr Group does not guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of your user materials. You acknowledge and agree that by accessing or using Roll20, you may be exposed to user materials from others that are offensive, indecent or otherwise objectionable.

Who owns the IP of the images and sounds that I include in my campaigns via the Art Library, Marketplace, and Jukebox tools?

The tokens, map tiles, sounds, and other art assets that you include in your campaigns via the Art Library, Marketplace, and Jukebox tools are the intellectual property of the providers of the assets. For more information on the assets included in Roll20, and their providers, see the Acknowledgements page and/or the individual asset page on the Marketplace. We have licensed these assets to allow you to use them to create non-commercial works in a personal setting. If you wish to re-distribute any campaigns you create on Roll20 that include assets from any of these providers outside of this intended purpose or outside of the Roll20 service, you must contact the provider(s) to license them directly. Orr Group is not responsible for your use of the assets in any way that violates the rights of the providers. In addition, assets included from the Roll20 Marketplace are subject to the additional terms in the Marketplace End User Licese Agreement (EULA).

Art that you include in your campaign via the web search and Jukebox features come from a variety of websites across the Internet. We do our best to only include assets that can be used by you for non-commercial works in a personal setting, but the licensing of each asset may vary. We provide a credit, including a clickable link, above each art asset so that you can see where it is from and under what license it is released. You are solely responsible for any infringement of the rights of others that may occur by using these assets in your materials on Roll20.

Reliability

Do you guarantee that Roll20 will be accessible at all times?

In short, we do not. Like all other cloud-based applications, we are vulnerable to the inherent unreliability of the Internet.

We monitor Roll20 closely and have set up automated alarms to be notified (via email and SMS) when the Roll20 service is under stress, so that we can deal with the issue before it becomes a problem that might impact customer access.

You can see for yourself how we’re doing on this front over the last 30 days by looking at our Status Page.

You acknowledge and agree that Orr Group shall not be liable for any failure to store or retrieve your materials on Roll20 at any time.

Play Nice Clauses

Use of Roll20

You agree that you shall not:

  • Collect, harvest, mine or engage in any other activity to obtain e-mail addresses, phone numbers, personal information or any other information about others.
  • Use or attempt to gain access to or use another’s user or company account, password, data, or computer systems or networks connected to any Roll20 server, whether through hacking, password mining or any other means.
  • Access or attempt to access any material that you are not authorized to access.
  • Make available any files containing materials where you do not own or control, or have not received the necessary licenses to, all intellectual property rights, rights of privacy and publicity and all other rights in and to such materials.
  • Use any materials in any manner that infringes any intellectual property rights or other rights of any party.
  • Create, facilitate, or participate in any games intended primarily to disseminate copyrighted material.
