Privacy Policy
We have always been close followers of online privacy issues
and wouldn't want anyone knowing more about us than we think they should.
It seemed that almost everyone we spoke to had the same opinion about
this. Why then were no companies taking a different stance about legal
implications and spuriously vetting their marketing services to check
that they conformed to tight standards; protecting consumer privacy while
also getting the best long term deal for marketers.
We worked on defining just what was and what wasn't a direct infringement
of personal privacy. Sure there will still be voices of dissent about anything
online marketers do, but at least we know that we are doing our best to
balance the equation by not using practices that we wouldn't like used
on us personally.
Online privacy advocates also needed to be assured that we were going to
live up to our claims, so we have created as transparent a service as possible
and contacted the main proponents before going ahead to make sure they
agreed with our perspective.
We are totally against the use of Adware/Spyware or any secretive activity
aimed at gathering information surreptitiously about users habits, or that
intrudes
on what we view as a person's private space. We do however believe that
individual websites that clearly tell their users about activities on the
site that
will be used for marketing purposes have a right to do so.
In our opinion it's about the right to have a choice in the matter.
