      It's a matter of not overly reading into "We Care About Your Privacy". What they mean, in caring, is that they care a lot if you manage to maintain any. Once you understand that it all makes perfect sense.

        Maybe they just mean they won't share the information with other people.

          This was somewhere in the text and they can be 99% correct until they go out of business, their hardware may end up sold without the data deleted. I've heard someone acquired a workstation that had an old MS Access database with around 5000 SSNs, names and addresses. So I wouldn't bet a buck on this

              Privacy won't put food on the table but money will. It's what we all care about.

                  The problem is not your systems...

                  M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
