Mom’s and Dad’s Against Fentanyl (MAD AF)

Last Updated: November 9, 2024

Our Commitment to Your Privacy

At Mom’s and Dad’s Against Fentanyl (MAD AF), we know that trust is everything. When you join our movement to save lives, you’re sharing parts of yourself with us and our community. This privacy policy explains how we protect that trust and your information.

We’re going to be completely transparent about what information we collect, how we use it, and most importantly – how we protect it. This isn’t just another legal document to us. This is our promise to you about how we’ll handle your personal information with the care and respect it deserves.

Who We Are

Mom’s and Dad’s Against Fentanyl (which we call MAD AF) is owned and operated by Get Mad AF Inc. When we say “we,” “us,” or “our” in this policy, we’re referring to both MAD AF and Get Mad AF Inc. This privacy policy covers everything we do, including our main website (getmadaf.com), our online store, our member community, The Sticker Vault, and all our other services.

Information We Collect: The Basics

Let’s talk about what information we collect and why we need it. We never ask for information we don’t need, and we’re always clear about why we’re asking for it.

When You Join Our Community

When you create an account with us, we need some basic information to get you started:

• Your name and email address (so we can communicate with you)
• A password (which we encrypt to keep your account secure)
• Your mailing address (if you order gear or join The Sticker Vault)

We know that some of our members prefer to remain anonymous, especially in our support communities and forums. That’s why we’ve made it possible to participate in many of our community features without sharing your real name.

When You Use Our Websites

When you visit our websites, we automatically collect some technical information that helps us provide a better experience:

• The type of device you’re using
• Your IP address (which helps us understand where our community members are located)
• How you interact with our websites (which pages you visit and what features you use)

This helps us make our websites work better for everyone and understand what resources our community finds most helpful.

When You Purchase From Our Store

If you buy MAD AF gear or join The Sticker Vault, we collect:

• Your shipping address (to send you your items)
• Payment information (though we never store your full credit card numbers)
• Your order history (so we can help with any issues and maintain your Vault collection records)

How We Use Your Information

Everything we do with your information has one goal: supporting our mission to save lives by fighting fentanyl. Here’s how we use the information you share with us:

Running Our Community

We use your information to:

• Keep your account secure
• Send you Weekly Actions that help spread awareness
• Connect you with other community members (only if you choose to participate)

Making Our Services Better

We also use information to:

• Fix problems when things aren’t working right

You can always control what communications you receive from us, and we make it easy to opt out of any messages you don’t want.

When you share information with MAD AF, we protect it like we’d protect our own family’s information. Here’s what that means in practice:

For parents: We encourage you to be involved in your teen’s use of our services and to contact us with any concerns about your child’s privacy.
