No doubt you have seen a rash of updated privacy policies on websites all over the world the past 30 days or so. This is due to a new law put into affect in the EU popularly known as GDPR.
The purpose of the law is to give Internet users more control over their information and how it is or is not used.
We are pleased to announce no changes to our privacy policy.
We make no changes because MyMerryChristmas.com and associated websites have never collected, sold, shared or used private information for any of our users.
The most complex amount of user information we gather is right here on the forums.
You provide an email address and age-related data that the law requires that we collect.
That information is used for YOU to manage YOUR account and you have the power to add, change or delete that information at any time.
In order for the forums to work as designed we must also have a means of contacting you should the software driving the forum change relative to how your information is stored or used.
In addition, when software is updated for security or other lawful purposes we need to maintain a way to contact you.
That information is never shared, sold, or used for any other purposes -- not even for marketing of MyMerryChristmas.com.
We do make use of "cookies" -- a small bit of computer code that resides on YOUR computer that works in conjunction with the forums to help identify and remember your preferences as you visit the site. The security of those "cookies" is more up to your individual computer settings. Other websites can see that you visit here if they have access to your cookie files.
We do NOT track your Internet activity based on the cookies needed to remember you here on MyMerryChristmas.com. In fact, we do not track your movement, activities or participation on our sites in any way whatsoever.
We encourage you to study the new privacy policies now in place on most websites. We also invite you to ask questions.
We work hard to keep data collection to a minimum, to share it with no one and to secure it with the most advanced technology available to use.
Please be advised there will be occasional updates to our software to help keep us in compliance not only with International law but also our own desires to NOT be a collector, user or abuser of site visitor data.
