Privacy Policy
Aunty Madder Productions, its employees, and business partners respect your right to privacy. We understand that, as a visitor to Auntymadder.com web site, you prefer to control your own personal information and your preferences regarding the site's handling of that information. For this reason, we may ask you to register or to provide personal information and preferences when you visit certain areas of auntymadder.com, request information, or subscribe (or "opt in") to one of our mailing lists or the Aunty Madder newsletter.
We will protect your personal information that you share with us to assure that you only receive the communications and information you specifically choose and that you will find relevant and useful. You will always have the ability to change your preferences, opt out of our e-mail mailings or the distribution of any newsletters that we offer.
When you provide us with your name (or alias), e-mail address, mailing address, or telephone number, Aunty Madder Productions or affiliated business representatives may use the provided information to alert you to special offers, updated information, new services, or other information related to the products we sell or the services we provide to you. Before we release any such information to third parties, such as other vendors, advertisers, or related businesses, we will always ask for your permission to do so first. This is known as "opting in" to a given promotional or information program.
We respect the rights our customers give us when opting-in to receive e-mail communications from us and we enforce a strict internal policy to preserve the trust you have placed in us. It is our objective to retain the long-term ability to continue to communicate with our customers. Aunty Madder Productions policy is to never intentionally breach that trust.
If you do not want Aunty Madder Productions representatives to contact you, you may "opt out" of this preference at any time, whether you're online or contacting us directly. As part of your preference flexibility, you'll always have the option to opt back in and have Aunty Madder Productions contact you based on your previous or new preferences. For instructions, please see the section "Contact Us," below.
If you choose not to register or provide personal information, you can still visit most Aunty Madder websites; however, you will not have access to areas that require personal identification nor will you be able to order merchandise on-line through our web store.
Personal information that you post to Aunty Madder online forums is accessible by other forum participants.

How auntymadder.com Protects Your Personal Information
Aunty Madder Productions will always protect the personal information that you share with us. Aunty Madder stores information internally in a controlled, secure environment. If, for example, you make a purchase online, we route all transactions through SSL (Secure Socket Layers) and will process your credit card number only to secure your current payment. The SSL transaction does not retain your credit card number subsequent to the transaction at hand and will not use the number for marketing purposes.
We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, including packaging, mailing and delivering purchases, answering customer questions about products or services, sending postal mail and processing event registration. We will only provide those companies the information they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.
If auntymadder.com requests general demographic information, this information is limited to reporting purposes only; members remain anonymous. Phone numbers, e-mail addresses, and postal addresses are never shared for demographic reports with outside entities.
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our website.

We will provide you with important news about security from time to time as part of our ongoing commitment to your peace of mind when you do business with us or visit our websites.
