MADD is committed to safeguarding our users’ online privacy and recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy of personal information, particularly that of children. MADD takes all required steps to protect the privacy and safety of children in accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”). MADD does not knowingly collect or solicit any information from anyone under the age of 13 or knowingly allow such persons to register as users.

Your Security
MADD cares about the security of your information, and uses commercially reasonable physical, administrative, and technological safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of all information collected through MADD’s Websites. Such security safeguards are intended to be appropriate to the sensitivity of the Personal Information collected. For example, MADD employs internal access controls to ensure that the only parties who see your information are those with a need to do so in order to perform their official duties. MADD also uses technical controls to secure the information that we collect online, including but not limited to the use of Secure Socket Layer (SSL), encryption, firewalls, and password protections.
Secure Socket Layer (SSL). In particular, the MADD Websites have industry standard high encryption security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control and all online order information is transmitted using Secure Socket Layer (“SSL”) technology. SSL encrypts your order information to avoid the decoding of that information by anyone other than MADD.
However, no security system is impenetrable and we cannot guarantee the security of our systems 100%. In the event that any information under our control is compromised as a result of a breach of security, MADD will take reasonable steps to investigate the situation and where appropriate, notify those individuals whose information may have been compromised and take other steps, in accordance with any applicable laws and regulations.

MADD may send e-mail notices, newsletters or website updates informing you of volunteer opportunities, development campaigns or updates regarding MADD’s latest efforts.
