At Stackmeup.com™, we are committed to maintaining your privacy and your trust.

You can change profile information at any time and how other members and affiliates interact with you.
When you visit Stackmeup.com™ and opt-in, you provide us with two types of information: basic personal information you knowingly choose to disclose to us (your name, your email address, your zip code, your gender, level of education, etc.) and Web Site use information collected by us as you interact with our Web Site.

We collect this information for you so that we can provide you with accurate information, the service overall and offer personalized features. The more information users enter, the more knowledge they receive in return. Our data is always updating itself, and in many sections, it becomes more detailed with every entry. There is an overwhelming amount of information available out there, and we want to help you easily filter that information to become more educated about everything and anything that pertains to your personal success and potential happiness. But again, you can be selective on the site. If you don't want to be featured in the "Top 100 Stackers", then you don't have to. If you wish to share some of your personal accomplishments from your personal profile within our community you can, but can choose which you can keep private. When you update information, we usually keep a backup copy of the prior version for a reasonable period of time to enable reversion to the prior version of that information to save you time an enhance your experience.
