When registering for an account, Harpodeon asks that you give an email address. This is used purely for alerting you to the progress of your orders (e.g., whether your payment has completed successfully, whether it is pending or declined, etc.) Your email address is not used for any other purpose, nor will it be given or sold to any other parties. Optionally, you may also supply us with a shipping address. This is not necessary unless you wish to purchase a DVD or some other physical product that requires shipping. Baring a valid legal order, your personal information will not be disclosed to anyone outside of Harpodeon.
