my "office" (read as place where all the interns lounge around when not forced to work) is in the same room as the data servers for the company. I can tell you that the telemarketers at the company have access to all the data on it. I've seen the customer profiles, by customer I mean the companies that buy the info. I've talked with the people who administer the polls. They don't just sell it to whomever. sure, they know what kind of toothpaste you use, but really, do you care that they know? dunkman ----------------------------------------- ----------
they're not a "supercompany" out to sell your info to the highest bidder.
at least as far as I know...I'm just a lowly IT intern...but they're so hyped about security it's not even funny (the door to the snack room has a card reader)
