We collect this information for several purposes:

To help prevent fraud and abuse.

Additionally, We collect information from you when you register on our site, place an order, respond to a survey or fill out a form.

When registering on our site, submitting a form and ordering you may be asked to enter your: name, e-mail address, mailing address, phone number or credit card information. You may, however, visit our site anonymously without logging in to an account.

We may, from time to time, release non-personally-identifying information in aggregate form (for instance, by publishing trends in site usage) to explain our reasoning in making decisions. We will not release individual information, only aggregate information.

How do we protect your information?

No data transmission over the Internet can ever be guaranteed to be 100% secure. You use this service at your own risk. However, we do take steps to ensure security on our systems.

Your account information is password-protected. We recommend that you choose a strong and secure password that you are not using on any other service, and that you change your password at regular intervals.

Any information that you provide to us via the Megaplex Portal site (https://megaplexcon.org) is encrypted during transit using industry standard SSL based encryption. This includes any information that you provide to complete a registration for the Megaplex convention.

If we learn of a system security breach, we will notify you electronically so you can take appropriate steps to protect yourself. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing. To receive free written notice, you should contact us at megaplex@megaplexcon.org.
