Our Super Duper Privacy Policy

If you give us your email address (for promotions or copies of the CPUSecurity newsletter) we WILL NOT send you spam. Never ever. Your e-mail address will not be rented, sold, traded or passed on to any dodgy, creepy spammers or spammers pretending to be marketers. It's not going to happen. You have our word.

If you give us your e-mail address it will be processed through a double opt-in process which means that you'll have to confirm your e-mail address with us *twice* before you receive any e-mail from us. There is no e-mail address elf that gives us your address. Really. If you wind up getting e-mail from us or copies of our newsletter then simply unsubscribe. We don't want to be bothering you and it saves us some bandwidth. We all win!

We will promote various merchants and vendors of security related or just plain old useful products on this site. Some of these vendors use cookies to track customer orders from this site. These cookies are not placed on your computer by www.cpusecurity.com but by the vendor or merchant themselves.

We take the security of the site seriously so do our best to make sure the site is on properly secured servers that won't get hacked or knocked offline by a heavy rainstorm.

The servers do collect certain statistical data on visitors to the CPUSecurity.com. This is just standard data as provided by most web analytics packages. What we see are things like IP address, OS, browser type and country of origin. Most of it is pretty boring to be honest but our web servers collect it anyway. We've tried asking them nicely not to but they don't seem to listen. Computers eh? Tsk.
