At votexchange2000.com, we have a very simple privacy policy: we don't want your
information for any longer than strictly necessary. We also don't want any
more information than strictly necessary. We
hold these principles dear:
- We do not use cookies. So we have no way to track your behavior or surfing habits.
- We do not log your IP address.
- We will not sell or donate your email address to third parties.
- We do not log your voting preferences in a personally
identifiable manner.
This is what we do:
- We store your email address in a database until a match is found. We purge
your email address as soon as the match is found.
- We log voting preferences in a personally unidentifiable manner for the
sake of statistics gathering alone.
What this means is that we maintain a log of which votes are being traded
for which ones in which state. We do not associate that log with your email
address or IP address. This means that we could not go back and look at the
logs and figure out whom it refers to, we could just add up the votes on a
per-state basis and draw pretty graphs for our own edification and
entertainment.
We respect your privacy and the fact that your voting
preference is a personal issue. We will not do anything to violate that
trust. Indeed we expect that you do what we do when required to give out
our email addresses (when we shop online, for instance). We create a new one at Yahoo or Hotmail or name your favorite free web
email provider here. We supply bogus information about ourselves when
we create that account, and use it for just that one purpose. We stop using
it and forget all about it when the job is done. It's easy and it works.
And we don't get unnecessary spam. We suggest that you do the same. Indeed,
we might be disappointed if you gave us your primary email address.
We have taken every precaution we can think of to insure that your visit to
our site leaves no trace except for the logs that we have already
mentioned. If and when we find that we slipped and that some other trace is
indeed left of your visit, we will immediately close that hole and destroy
the information that was inadvertently collected.
Contact us if you have any
more questions or concerns.
