contact & giveaway forms
If you choose to use a contact or giveaway form on the site, you may be asked for data such as email address, name, or mailing address in the event you win the contest. This information will only be kept as long as deemed necessary by the site administrator. At the close of a giveaway or contest, any related personal data will be deleted.
Contact form information will only be retained as long as necessary. Because a follow up may be necessary, the site administrator will be responsible for deciding how long it is necessary to retain such information.
If you use a contact form to sign up for a wait list or email list to be notified for when a product goes live, your name and email address will be retained up to three weeks after the product goes live. This is so that we may be sure to notify you of the available product, as per your request.
