IP Address Location

GEOIP, this looks like interesting technology and your company also looks interesting. Before I go any further with this, to whom does the information collected go? It it recorded, stored, or in any other way manipulated before or after it is delivered to the person requesting it. If the answer is no, then I do think you have found a good way to advertise your company and service. However, quite a few people here have expressed concern many times in the past about programs and services that collect data and keep it for themselves. "The phone home" type of software gets mixed reviews here. Therefore, before grabbing this or recommending that someone else grab this, is any information that is collected by this program transmitted in any way outside of the system that is running this software?

Good enough for me; I have not grabbed it, nor will I do so! Too bad, seems like a good idea, but with a spammer like this it could be something that grabs information, steals it and gets it in the wrong hands. Why take a chance? _________________ Brian Masinick Distros: SimplyMEPIS sidux - no CAPS!, antiX, Debian
