Roland,
My point is I gave this email address to Broder and only to Broder. It was
created just for them to use and no one else has it except them. I just went to
their website. Their privacy policy says this:
Broder is very sensitive to the privacy concerns of the visitors to its site on
the Internet. As a general policy, no personal information is automatically
collected from visitors to the site. However, certain non-personal information
of visitors is recorded by the standard operation of Broder Internet servers.
This information is primarily used to provide an enhanced online experience for
the visitor. Information tracked includes the type of operating system in use
(e.g., Macintosh, Windows) and the type of browser being used by the visitor
(e.g., Netscape, Internet Explorer, etc.). Other uses of this information
include internal review of the number of visitors to the site but only in an
aggregate and non-personally identifiable form. E-mail addresses and other
personally identifiable information such as a first and last name, home or
other physical address, and telephone number, about visitors to this site are
known only when voluntarily submitted, for example via registration for
purchasing privileges, content submissions, suggestions or participation of
visitors in any available online interactive activities. Unless otherwise
disclosed during the collection, personally identifiable information that may
be collected in connection with visitors to this site is retained by Broder and
is not sold, transferred or otherwise disclosed outside the company, except
where disclosure is required by law. This information may be used for any of
the following purposes: (1) to help Broder better understand visitors' use of
our site; (2) to fulfill orders; (3) to respond to specific requests from our
visitors;(4) to provide any necessary notices to our visitors or their parent
or guardians, where necessary; (5) to protect the security or integrity of our
site when necessary.
They say they don't sell it or release it to anyone else. Why am I receiving
emails that has nothing to do with the embroidery industry?
A phone number is public information, just open a phonebook. That email address
I gave them was only given to Broder and no one else.

databank companies that do
nothing but have people going through phone numbers and catching
'new' numbers all day long to add to spam phone calls? Probably same
companies looking for new email addresses...because as soon as you
get a new email, it MUST be registered in a database to be activated!
I spent last year remodeling a mobile home for my son-as soon as we
bought it, I had a phone installed for us to use while working-no
cell phone service there. The phone was activated at 9 am or so in
the morning-before mid afternoon, I was ALREADY getting 'buy this'
phone calls every hour!
We complained to the phone company about releasing our new number-and
they explained they had no control over it...how these companies have
access to the 'registry' of all phone numbers and instantly know any
new number! So I have no doubt it exists for email spammers.
My internet server has a great filter system...catches 99% of the
garbage...but also stops a lot of the amayausers forwards...at least
I can access the 'storage bin' of the spam and click on these to get
them.
