Thanks for visiting the website of the Superficials.  If you’re here, and you’re viewing this, we’ll assume that you’ve used the site, and you want to continue to use the site, but you’re worried about giving us information about you.  In the words of that great writer, Douglas Adams:  Don’t Panic. 

Here’s what we use personal information we collect from this site for without asking your permission:  Practically nothing.  We do keep up with how many people have been here, and we try to keep up with whether or not you’ve been here before.  Why?  We like to know how many fans we have checking out the website.  It makes us feel good to know that you fans are out there and checking us out.  The record labels also like to know how many of you out there are checking us out.  And you do want us to get signed to a label, right?

If you sign up for our newsletter, on the other hand, we will be sending you occasional emails, known affectionately enough as newsletters.  You did ask for them, right?  We probably will send you other things you might like to know- when our next concert is, for example, or when we have some cool new swag for you.  If you get tired of it, that’s cool; just opt out.

If you want to know the more techie, legalese stuff about our site’s privacy policy, our webmaster has been kind enough to put the following together for you:
