I've looked at the page for subscribing to the LCN newsletter. I do not see any indication of a privacy policy that would suggest that your e-mail address, for example, would not be shared or sold. This is something I like to see whenever I give out personal information on the internet. Here is a good example of such a statement: http://www.privacyalliance.org/about/privacypolicy.shtml This is certainly not to suggest that Accutrack will use our personal information in any adverse way or without permission, nor that any business without such a statement is apt to do so. I bring this up only to take advantage of an opportunity to increase awareness of internet privacy issues that should concern us more these days. A quick web search for "internet privacy" will lead you to a surprising amount of information on the topic.
