Information which you DO deliberately supply ...

Finishing.com isn't just a reference site, it it also a meeting place of warm aloha & camaraderie. So if you CHOOSE to submit a public posting, we require and print your name, city, & state -- like a newspaper or magazine would. We ask that it be your real name, but sometimes we don't know whether it actually is. We will delete your last name upon request. We will also delete your entire posting is requested (but you might be unwelcome to post in the future since this drill holes in our site and insults the responders who helped you).
If you do a posting here, we also require your e-mail address. We don't publish it, but use it to advise you of responses to your posting; and we capture your IP address as a guard against spoofing (a poster claiming to be one of our other posters).

If you are seeking a supplier, you can CHOOSE to post an RFP/RFQ and we'll pass along the contact information you supply to suppliers who wish to respond to it. When we do so, we attach the following instruction--

-------
PRIVACY NOTICE: This contact info is forwarded to you under the terms agreed to by the inquirer who provided it. You may respond to THIS SPECIFIC INQUIRY but you may not add this contact information to any database, send any unsolicited offerings of any type to the inquirer, nor pass this contact info to any third party.

Complaints:

If you feel that anyone has spammed you through info available from this site, or you wish to delete a posting you made here, or you have any other privacy concerns, please let us know. Thanks!
