 Privacy Policy 

In an ideal world, every website would respect their visitor's privacy and personal information. Unfortunately, it seems that more and more sites see dollar signs when they look at their users' personal information. Here at PCQandA, we believe that users' (and their data) should be treated the same way that we would want ours treated. That means that we won't sell your data to anyone. This means that we won't sell your e-mail address to spammers. While our web server tracks certain information when you visit the site, for example what type of browser you use and what pages on the site you look at, this information is only used in aggregate. (For example, browser information can be useful to figure out what technologies our users' browsers could handle.) This information is shared with PCQandA staff.

Advertising

PCQandA is a free web site. To pay the bills, we accept donations and sell ads. While ads are a necessary evil, Here too we set restrictions based on what annoys us about advertising on the Internet. We will not accept pop-up ads (or pop-unders or "pop-ins"). Ads on PCQandA cannot contain sound. And you certainly won't be seeing Gator attempting to install itself onto your computer from PCQandA!
