Absolutely Protecting the Rights of Our Visitors |
![]() ![]() ![]() Privacy FIRST? Yes, FIRST . . . I feel so strongly about privacy rights that EVERYTHING about the design and technology of this site, from the time its first pixel was displayed, has been designed around respecting the rights of our visitors your rights. But, frankly, just speaking those words doesn't mean very much, since that's pretty much what every sleeze-bag company on the Internet will tell you even those that are currently under Federal indictment for deliberate and repeated privacy violation and abuse. So I have broken it down, detailing our specific conduct, so you can see EXACTLY what WE mean when WE say that we care more about your privacy and security than anything else: |
![]() | eCommerce![]() ![]()
|
![]() | Personal Information![]() ![]() ![]() Some things are NOT for sale your trust in us is one of them. |
![]() | Cookies
|
|
![]() | Advertisements![]() ![]() ![]() But, independent of that, no force on Earth could make me place a reference to an off-site advertising server on this site. The fact is, advertisements are a HUGE security and privacy risk. You will never find one here. No way. |
![]() | Web Bugs![]() ![]() |
![]() | Server Logs![]() ![]() ![]() There is no record that anyone who visits our web site has done so, nor what they did or where they went while they were here.
|
![]() | Your IP Address![]() ![]() Our Internet security testing ShieldsUP! facility does an excellent job of determining your machine's current IP address, but it is NEVER stored or recorded in any fashion. (Not even logged by our web server, see above.) ![]() In order to keep the count of this site's visitors as fair and accurate as possible, a visitor's IP address is placed into a "most recently used" (MRU) list so that if the same IP requests another test soon after the last one (such as pressing the browser's refresh button) the Shields Tested counter will not be redundantly incremented. Once an IP "ages", it falls off the end of the MRU list and is never considered again.

You may address any eMail to us for our immediate attention to: . Thank you for your interest in these tricky but important issues. Perhaps we can work together to raise the standard of privacy on the Internet. It is certainly worth a try! |
