DRN's Privacy Policy

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: roosteater---------------------

I've reviewed DRN's privacy policy, but it's not entirely clear. Specifically, I'd like to know whether DRN sells or shares its members' email or other contact information with outside marketing/spam companies.

No accusations being made. I've been receiving a ton of solicitation emails lately at the email address that I use here. I use that particular address here and possibly one or two other places at the most.

Maybe Okie or someone could clarify the privacy policy and whether any information is sold to or shared with outside marketing companies? Thanks.

It's not coming from a list given out here.  Okie has the best "net" virtues that I've seen anywhere.  You are better off spending some time looking into places that you have left your DRN address.... and then there is always the spammers that can pick up on the fact that STM/LTM have @DRN addresses.

I get NO junk mail at my DRN address and more than I can count at my work address.

Definitely a legitimate concern, roost, but I'm with Twinnie on this one. I receive absolutely no spam at the addy supplied to DRN.

Hey Roosteater, Okie is very serious about keeping our info private. If you have purchased something through DRN's store, the company that handles the processing of those orders MIGHT be selling your information. Okie would have no control over that. I hope that helps answer your question.


Posted by: roosteater---------------------

The question has been answered. Thank you. I didn't think there would be any issues with DRN sharing this information, however, I sought simple clarification. I very well could have asked the question via email to Okie directly, but the topic is relevant to all of us, so I asked it here.

I'm contacting the other places where I've used that address as well.

Thanks again.

DRN has not and will not sell, lend or otherwise allow ANYONE the use of the member database. The "store" does not use the information either. If you have a spam problem, I assure you, it didn't come from here.

The ONLY way an email from DRN can get "farmed" is if you post it in the body of a thread, which is the case with any site. The spammers have bots that look for emails across the entire web by scanning pages for the email format "something@something.something".

Thanks for the reassurrance Okie. Course most of us wouldn't doubt you

I haven't been getting ANY email at my dirtrider.net addy since the new system went up


Posted by: roosteater---------------------

Okie....thank you for your timely and straightforward response. (Also...thanks Rich...you know why.)

I hadn't yet subscribed to DRN, although I've been a registered member since 1999. What just transpired and the respectful way in which it was handled by both Rich and Okie inspired me to finally subscribe.

I never get any spam from the 2 email addy I use at DRN. I have a generic email I use for everything else that gets spammed like crazy. Try going to a work from home web site just once and you'll know what I mean.

Okie deserves a pat on the back for his policies. :thumb:

Is that serious, Brian? Maybe you should have that looked at?

You might want to hold off on the patting until you get the golf clap taken care of or it could seriously affect your putter.

Take this advice seriously. I'd listen to whatever "VD" has to say about golf clap.
