We at MadeIt, Inc. ("MadeIt," we" or "us") have created this privacy policy ("Policy") to describe how we collect use and share your personal information when you interact with us through our Web site www.madeit.com (the "Site"). This privacy policy does not govern our use of any information you provide to us when you call us, write to us, or communicate with us in any manner other than through our Web site.
We reserve the right to change the provisions of this Policy at any time by posting the revised Policy on the Web site and indicating on the Policy the date it was last updated.

What is Personal Information? As used in this Policy, the term "personal information" means information that specifically identifies an individual, such as your name, address, telephone number or email address, or that is associated with an identifiable person (such as demographic information or information about a person's activities when such information is linked to personally identifying information). Personal information does not include aggregate information, which is data we collect about the use of the Web site or categories of such users, from which any personal information has been removed. Aggregate data helps us understand trends and our users' needs so that we can better consider new features or otherwise tailor our Site. This Policy does not apply to and in no way restricts or limits our collection and use of aggregate information. Demographic information, such as your age, geographic area and personal preferences is treated as personal information under this Policy only if it is linked to personally identifiable information such as your name and email address.
