This "No Spyware / No Adware Policy" describes our practices with regard to how we operate this site and what, if any, information we collect when you or your computer interacts with our Web site.

The Freewebs web publishing system contains no spyware or adware of any kind and we apply this policy strictly against our user sites.

The United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) defines spyware as "software that aids in gathering information about a person or organization without their consent, or asserts control over a computer without the consumer's knowledge."

FreeWebs is an entirely internet-based application and requires no downloading of software or other programs or applications that could pose a threat to your system. FreeWebs is entirely permission-based and conforms to all government regulations and industry best practices.

There are basically three major types of spyware and FreeWebs has a strict policy against them all:

Adware collects information about your web browsing habits in order to display strategic ads on your web browser, or imbeds ads directly into your existing software without your permission.

Key Loggers trap keystrokes to capture information such as user names, passwords, and critical financial information like credit-card numbers.

Trojan horses are destructive programs that masquerade as helpful ones on your computer. Once a trojan horse is allowed into your system, it can maliciously harm your system. An example would be a program that pops up countless ads claiming to help you get rid of popups and computer viruses.

FreeWebs maintains a strict policy against all types of spyware including these three major types strictly enforces this policy on our users. If you find any FreeWebs user violating this policy at any time, please contact our Support department and we will take swift action.
