I submitted this as feedback (http://feedback.fanime.com) but I feel like it needs to be said in the open here as well.
Fanime, please post your privacy policy regarding what you do with our personal information -- like our name, address, birth date, and email. I did at-con registration and the staff that assisted me saved all of that information in your computer. You don't need any of that for at-con registration -- not even our birth date since we still have to show our ID to enter those panels. I asked him what Fanime was doing with all of that info and he said it was for your records but was unable provide further details. (I did not expect a lowly volunteer to know the answer anyway.) I said I didn't want my info saved and he said it was required and saved it anyway.
This is very bad. There is too much identity theft and hacking going on nowadays. Please reconsider taking all of this information for at-con registration. At the very minimum, you should be disclosing what you are doing with this information, who it is being shared with, and how we can opt out.
