Special Information Processing

When you post a message on our website, we send your information as well as some information about your identity (such as your IP address, name or nickname, e-mail address and OpenID) – to the server of a spam filtering service we use. Their server will then compare your message and your identity details with all elements in their database, and perform several complex statistical computations in order to assess the quality of your message (e.g., spam, abuse, etc.). If their server then determines that the content of your message is of insufficient quality or constitutes spam or abuse, it will inform our website thereof. Our server may then decide to reject your message, or to provide you with an additional question to find out whether you are in fact a human being, and not a machine trying to send out as much commercial communications as possible. Please note that it is sometimes possible that our service provider wrongfully determines the actual quality of the content of your message, or wrongfully considers your message as spam or abuse. The service we use will store all information provided to them by our website. This will include, in particular, the following personal data about you (to the extent effectively we provided to them): the content of your message, your name or nickname, IP address, user ID, OpenID, e-mail address, URL of your website, and the date and time you post a message. Your data is stored in our service providers databases for at most two months. After this period of two months, they can continue to store your data in anonymized way for a period of two years. Our service provider will use your personal data to assess the quality of your message, and to find out whether your message constitutes spam, by comparing your data with all other data of all other users in their databases. Afterwards, they also use your personal data to make similar assessments for all other websites that use their service, as the more information they store in their database, the better they can assess whether a message is genuine. While they sometimes provide statistical information (trends, numbers, etc.) generated from their databases to third parties, please rest assured that your personal information cannot be identified on the basis of this statistical information. Note that we hate spam as much as you do – in fact, we use this service as it is specifically targeted at removing spam. Neither we nor our service provider will ever provide your email address to any third parties, and neither they or we will never send any spam to you. Please note that access to the information provided to our service provider can be provided in the case of illegal or abusive use, or in case they receive orders from a competent legal authority.
