Comments are welcome but we ask that you not provide any private or sensitive information outside of the basic fields in the registration and log-in forms.

As the Website owner, the Company may collect non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, which may include the date and time of each visitor request. Our interest in collecting such non-personally identifying information would be to better appreciate and understand user activities involving the Website.
When users choose to register, donate, purchase Products or make certain other requests (which could involve support or other requests), the Company may obtain personally-identifying information. ("Personal Information"). The amount and type of such information obtained would depend on the nature of the transaction or interaction. As noted, we might require Users who wish to access parts of the Website to provide their valid personal name and email address.

The security of your Personal Information is important to us, and we will use it only to carry out the capabilities of the Website, the transactions facilitated by the Website, and the dissemination of information about, and distribution and sale of, such other goods and services offered by Marcal Studios LLC from time to time.

There is currently no advertising on the website, therefore no advertising or other third party partners to whom we would provide your Personal Information.

While we strive to use reasonable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its security.






Those users who donate to the Website or purchase Products may be asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. At present, it is expected that the normal transactions will involve e-commerce processing and will be handled by a reputable third party vendor under their own industry-standard procedures.
