Right to Change Policy
As MadPals is constantly innovating and enhancing the type of services it provides to its users, this Privacy Statement will also continue to change to match the services and features we make available. As such, we reserve the right to change this statement to match the services we provide. If we make any material change to this statement, we will change the date at the top of this statement to reflect the effective date of the change. When you visit our site or use our services and site features, we encourage you to check the date of this Privacy Statement to ensure you are aware of any updates. However, regardless of how this Privacy Statement may change or evolve over time, MadPals will not collect or maintain your private and personally identifiable information without your consent. Further, if you consent to give us your personal information, we will keep it confidential and will not sell, license or disclose your personal information to any third party without your consent, unless we are compelled to do so under the law or to comply with court order.

Types of Information We Collect
Generally, you are free to browse the MadPals site without submitting any personal information. We do not collect any of your personal information (such as a name, address or email address) when you visit the MadPals, unless you register or have registered to use our message boards, or otherwise agree to submit to us such information.

Information Automatically Logged
We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our Web site.

Password Encryption
Please note that registration in our message boards require that you specify a password for your use.
