Followers.net, Inc. Privacy Policy. top of page
Followers.net, Inc. completely respects your privacy. This document
will outline the policies we have in place to ensure your
satisfaction. Our privacy policy has three parts:

• Unsolicited E-Mail
• Sharing your information
Why /How we use Cookies: top of page
Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored on your
computer by a web site. When you return to that web site, those
pieces of information are sent back to the web server, allowing it
to "remember" certain things from your prior visits. Cookies are
only sent to the web server (or servers) that placed them, and all
cookies have a date to expire. The date is set by the web site, and
when it is reached, the cookie disappears.
Some people feel that these cookies are intrusive and threaten their privacy and security. All users have the ability to prevent cookies from being placed on their computers. However, this causes some legitimate features of certain web sites not to function correctly, such as shopping carts.
In order to provide the best experience and to protect the privacy of our users, this application uses a special cookie called a "Per-session Cookie". These cookies are unique because they will disappear the moment you close your web browser.
Unsolicited E-mail: top of page
Like most people on the Internet, we are annoyed
when we receive unsolicited e-mail, also known as SPAM. As you
know, SPAM is a way of sending a message to many people in a way
that disperses the cost of sending to the receiver.
Many people are now hesitant to give their e-mail addresses to organizations out of fear of receiving SPAM. We want to assure you that we will not violate your trust by sending you junk e-mail or giving / selling your e-mail address to other organizations.
Should you need to contact us, we prefer e-mail whenever possible. We have a form in the contact area of our web site that allows you to give us feedback about our site. Please use this in confidence knowing that we will treat your information with respect and care.
If you provide us with your e-mail address, we will respond to your questions or comments by sending you an e-mail. We may also contact you in the future to make sure that all of your needs have been met, or to let you know when we have enhanced features and offerings.
In the future, we may offer a voluntary subscription to an e-mail newsletter. We will not automatically subscribe you to this without your prior approval.
Sharing your information: top of page
Because we believe that your information is YOUR information, and
therefore private and personal to you, we will not give any of your
information to others, EVER. We will not try to subversively gain
information from you in any way.
Our server collects information about each visit to the web site. This information is important to us, because it allows us to track the popularity of our web site, find areas of the web site people like, and adjust areas of the web site that people find difficult.
We will never try to associate the information in our log files with a particular individual for any reason. We also will not share detailed or raw log data with other organizations in a way that may allow them to associate the data with a particular individual. We feel that doing so violates your privacy and jeopardizes our relationship with you.

Policy on Security and the Protection of Information and the Availability of Service. top of page
Security is an important concern on the Internet. Because there is no face-to-face transaction, it can be hard to know who is actually involved with a transaction over the Internet.
We understand that trust is earned, and once lost is difficult to regain. Therefore we want to assure you that we take the security of your transaction with this website very seriously.
E-commerce transactions are encrypted using the most modern and secure techniques allowed by law. When performing an e-commerce transaction, look for a small lock in the bottom corner of your web browser. If you see this lock, you can be assured that your information is being protected. In order to prevent unauthorized access, we use 128 bit security certificates from Thawte, an internationally recognized secuirty provider.
Transmiting sensitive financial information by email is NEVER done in such a way that can be intercepted and used. If this ever needs to be done, be assurred that your information is encrypted 16 times more securely than current Internet standards.
Protecting the availability of service is an often overlooked security concern. We take numerous actions to avoid these kinds of security violations, often called Denail Of Service (DOS) attacks. We implement all recomended security patches when they become available. This is one of the most effective preventive measures. Additionally, wherever possible, we maintain duplicate service offerings; for example we have 5 redundant connections to the Internet. If one or even two of these connections are disabled, there will barely be an impact on service availability.
If you have concern over our policy on security, please use our form in the contact area of our web site.
