- Getting Started
It requires just 3 simple steps to get started with VirWoX:
- Register using the Registration page.
- Login within 24 hours, using the temporary password sent to you by email.
- Change your password using the Change Settings page. Please choose a strong password.
You then have an active VirWoX account. Typically you will then want to deposit money in one currency, place exchange orders, and withdraw money in some other currency.
- Security and Privacy
At VirWoX, we take security and privacy seriously. The service is designed, developed, and operated by Virtual World Services GmbH, a real-world company founded in Austria specifically for the purpose of conducting business in virtual worlds and running services like VirWoX. You can find contact details here.While it is part of our security policy not to reveal too many details about it, we would like to share some important aspects with you. Please also consult the section on Terminals for additional security information related to our terminals.
Protection of Passwords
The single most important thing you need to remember is to choose a strong password and keep it secure. Good passwords are:
- At least 8 characters long
- A combination of characters (uppercase and lowercase) and numbers that is hard to guess.
- Different from other passwords. In particular, you should not use your SL password for VirWoX also. This ensures that even if someone is able to steal you SL account, they cannot access your VirWoX money.
- Not written down. Should you forget your password, you can have it reset and a new password sent to your email address. It is therefore important that you use your real email address and keep it current. Note that we also do not store your password in clear text, so we cannot tell you what it is either.
Privacy
We need some personal information (such as your Name) in order to transfer real-world money to bank accounts. Also, we receive similar personal information when you transfer money using PayPal or Skrill (no bank account or credit card numbers). We will take all reasonable efforts to keep this personal information safe, and will not sell or give such information to third parties, except if requested by public authorities. This does not apply to anonymous data for statistical purposes. We do not store any credit card information.
