It has been our policy, since our group was founded in 2004, to never sell personally identifying information about our members and friends.

DemocraciaParticipativa.net does not collect personally identifying information, except with your specific knowledge and consent.

If you've been spammed by e-mail, and you think 'democraciaparticipativa.net' or 'participatorydemocracy.net' did it, please read this:

We did not spam you. ‘democraciaparticipativa.net' and ‘participatorydemocracy.net’ are legitimate domains of DemocraciaParticipativa.net, a non-profit organization. We did not send the spam, nor was it relayed through our site. DemocraciaParticipativa.net has no connection to the outfits which spammed you.

Although the sender may have used "democraciaparticipativa.net" or “participatorydemocracy.net” in his spam, take a look at the message header. It will clearly show that our domain (IP address: 207.218.208.7) was not involved in the transmission of the spam in any way. The spammer(s) use different IP addresses; some are in the "12.64.xxx.xxx" range (which points to someone in the AT&T dial-in network) or the " 32.102.xxx.xxx" range (somewhere in the IBM Global Services network). IP addresses are very difficult to forge in e-mail... However, domain names are easy to forge.

A check of their domain via WHOIS (http://www.networksolutions.com/whois/index.jhtml)  or via a Website such as http://www.swhois.com will confirm this.
