Forums
We use a community type BBS for our
Message Forums.
If you post messages as a guest,
your name and email address is asked for. This information can be viewed by anyone. Your
email address is not required and we recommend not giving it, and using an alias for your
name, if you do not wish this information available to the public.
If you register for the message
forums, other personal information is asked for. This information is viewable by anyone.
Most information is optional and we recommend not giving information you do not want
available to the public. Your email address is required but you can make this private in
your preferences. Your name is required but you may use an alias if you wish.
Any information you give in the
message forums is not used by us. It is used only for the message forum. Some examples are
notifying you through email when you request to be notified of postings.
Chat
BlueSparks has public chat which
asks for your name. Anybody can view this information so BlueSparks recommends using an
Alias when using the chat. The chat is for demostration purposes only for those interested
in downloading the chat program.
External Links
These sites contain links to other
sites. BlueSparks is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of
such Web sites.
Security
These sites have standard security
measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our
control. We cannot be 100% sure that nobody can hack into our server, so BlueSparks
recommends using a free e-mail service, such as hotmail, when submitting your e-mail
address to sites on the Internet.
