TDPRI is hosted on some server somewhere, and has a business relationship with some service provider for web hosting, internet connection, and so on.
Given that the period of privacy in private life is pretty much a thing of the past, it occurs to me to ask of the admins:
1. To whom, if anyone, does TDPRI sell data?
2. Whether or not TDPRI sells data, what external entities are taking data from TDPRI with or without (hard to answer that last one) its knowledge?
My presumption here is that Big Business Brother is spying on all of us all the time, and I'm curious about who's spying on us in TDPRI.

We operate a very large server at a webhost in Quebec Canada. We simply lease the server. The webhost is one of the largest in the world and they provide the access to the internet backbone.
We own and control our data 100% and never have and nor have we any plans to ever sell our data to any third party company. "Forever" is a very long time, so I'm not going to say "never" about a future that I can't foresee.
All major and minor search engines "spider" our server 24-hours a day for search engine inclusions of all of our content. This includes all photos, all member profiles and all posts. We do not receive one penny for this information. We are not selling it, they take the publicly available info and index it.
I have no idea what your sensitivities are, but as a business we aren't selling your info to anyone.
We have a Privacy Policy that states this and you'll find a link to it on the bottom of every page: http://www.tdpri.com/privacy.htm

Simple.... If you do not want your info on the net.... Don't put it there and while you are at it, throw away your Kroger, CVS, and other rewards cards... and ya might want to cut up your debit card too.....
The TDPRI sells nothing. They say that and I trust that.
