Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us.
Sorry if this page is so short, but all that you need to know is that we will never, ever share your contact details with ANY site or organization. We hate SPAM and uninvited sales agents as much as you do.

We didn't find you, you found us.
That's the way it should be, plain and simple. Your information is kept behind lock and key and you can be confident in your information never being shared, sold or redistributed.

We do not actively police the web sites that we host.
Nor are we required to by law under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act

Please take the time to familiarize yourself with this important legislation. Important highlights of this act protect online service providers as well as site owners and operators for publishing "questionable" content provided by third parties.

In Layman's terms, if an arbitrary individual found your website on the Internet, and were to post information, for example, on your public forums, and that content was deemed against the law, you cannot be held accountable or penalized as a site operator or owner. If this important act did not exist, every time a fraudster (or otherwise unscrupulous person) found a way on to your website and posted something that was not supposed to be there, YOU could be held legally responsible and so could your web hosting company. It is obviously impossible to police every page of every website every day, and this legislation protects your freedoms to live your every day life and still be able to operate a website without fear of legal persecution for a simple accident or absence from administration of your website. Imagine going on vacation and returning to find your forums filled with illegal advertisements for illicit drugs or credit card numbers or defaming content. Obviously in due time you would likely remove this content, however without this legislation, you could go to jail, face fines and other penalties for something that was out of your immediate and direct control. Please protect your freedoms and and keep careful eye on future developments on section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.

Please note that Bandus is not qualified to make legal opinions or guidance to the general public or individuals, however this is our current interpretation of Section 230.

We do not censor or remove sites.
Bandus guarantees that we will uphold your rights granted to you under the United States Constitution. Freedom of Speech is paramount and US law still protects your First Amendment Rights. This guarantee ensures your ability to exercise your First Amendment Rights of Freedom of Speech guaranteed under the United States Constitution. It is the end-user's responsibility to ensure they are in compliance with US and or International laws. Your site will never be shut down for content deemed "inappropriate" by Bandus or other third parties or activist groups. Law-enforcement itself is the only entity that could have an impact on your web site status and section 230 of the Communications Decency Act grants Bandus immunity at the federal level from being legally required to monitor, edit, or censor web sites hosted on our interactive computer services.

Privately Registered Domains can shield your identity.
If you would like to learn more on how to anonymously register your domain name to protect your registration information from being publicly disclosed (which is the registry default), we suggest using our "Domains by Proxy" partnership. This allows you to register a name privately so your contact information is not disclosed to public WHOIS databases. Keep your identity private from those who do not need to know your important contact information. Private domain registration information.
