PCNet-Online is committed to safeguarding visitor/member privacy.

- We do not collect personal data. Non-personal statistical information and IP addresses are collected via the normal course of web server operation. While this information is entirely non-personal it is not shared with any third party.

- The only area where you can (optionally) supply your email address is the message area. If you provide it there:

- We will not contact you without your explicit permission via you volunteering your email address in the message area and then only to alert you to major system issues. In 20 plus years we've never done that but hey, it's a computer thing and it's going to break and if it's serious we'll give you a heads up. Your email address will NEVER be provided to anyone else or any third party. May spammers receive as many spam messages as all of us do...the rats.

- Likewise the message area is the only place on PCNet where you can set up a password (again, this is only an option). No PCNet employee can view or retrieve your message area password.
