INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE
AboutMarissa.com collects some anonymous information that cannot be traced back to a specific individual (when that person is not signed in with an account).

Such information could include your name, postal address, phone number, email address, date of birth, marital status, other demographic information, or credit card information. AboutMarissa.com limits the personal information it collects to that which is reasonable under the circumstances, and we only collect your personal information with your consent.
We use your personal information for the purposes we state or imply when it is collected, and we may otherwise use your personal information where permissible by law, for example to respond to an emergency, or in the course of an investigation into illegal behavior.
