smileycentral.com Safe?

Time to explain spyware. Everything is called spyware if it tracks what you do. Often times, a company needs to track for statistical purposes and its not a bad thing and is normally anonymous. What is important is two things.

1: Does the company have a privacy policy. In this case, it does: http://www.funwebproducts.com/privacy/

2: Do you trust this companies privacy policy? Most are legit, but theres a few snakes out there.

We had some concerns about that as an ad here, but we run it because we believe it to be safe. Some of those smilies are awesome and I got a kick out of it myself.

 

Im saying that you should look for a privacy policy and always read it. In this case, reading that privacy policy, I would have no problem with it.
