Form Submission Protection (Mollom)

We use a third-party spam protection company known as Mollom to protect information submitted via forms on this site. This section of our privacy policy explains how Mollom BVBA ("Mollom") processes your personal data. Please read it carefully, as it specifies which rights you have and how you can exercise your rights.

Mollom's web service

Mollom operates a web service that tries to determine the quality of messages posted to a website, and particularly tries to determine whether these messages are to be considered as unsolicited messages (also called "spam"). Nowadays, websites that allow visitors to contribute or post comments (such as blogs, discussion forums, wikis, etc.) are flooded with inappropriate commercial messages that are distracting for all visitors, and are sometimes even highly illegal. These commercial messages are often uploaded in an automatic way. Mollom's service screens messages before they are posted to the website.

How it works

When you post a message on a website that uses Mollom's service (called "the website" in the remainder of this text), the website's server will first send your message – as well as some information about your identity (such as your IP address, name or nickname, e-mail address and OpenID) – to Mollom's server. Mollom's server will then compare your message and your identity details with all elements in their database, and perform several complex statistical computations in order to assess the quality of your message (e.g., spam, abuse, etc.).

If Mollom's server then determines that the content of your message is of insufficient quality or constitutes spam or abuse, it will inform the website thereof. The website server may then decide to reject your message, or to provide you with an additional question to find out whether you are in fact a human being, and not a machine trying to send out as much commercial communications as possible. Please note that it is sometimes possible that Mollom's server wrongfully determines the actual quality of the content of your message, or wrongfully considers your message as spam or abuse.

What Mollom stores about you

Mollom stores all information provided to them by the website. This will include, in particular, the following personal data about you (to the extent effectively provided to them by the website): the content of your message, your name or nickname, IP address, user ID, OpenID, e-mail address, URL of your website, and the date and time you post a message.

How long Mollom stores this data

Your data is stored in Mollom's databases for, at most, two months. After this period of two months, Mollom can continue to store your data in anonymized way for a period of two years.

How Mollom uses your personal data

Mollom uses your personal data to assess the quality of your message, and to find out whether your message constitutes spam, by comparing your data with all other data of all other users in their databases. Afterwards, Mollom also uses your personal data to make similar assessments for all other websites that use their service, as the more information we store in our database, the better they can assess whether a message is genuine.

While Mollom sometimes provides statistical information (trends, numbers, etc.) generated from their databases to third parties, please rest assured that you cannot be identified on the basis of this statistical information.

Note that Mollom hates spam as much as you do – in fact, their service is specifically targeted at removing spam. So, Mollom will never provide your email address to third parties, and they will never send any spam ourselves to you. In most cases, they will not even be aware of your e-mail address.

Also note that Mollom can provide access to your personal data in case of illegal or abusive use, or in case they receive orders from a competent legal authority.

How Mollom protects you

Mollom is bound by the strict rules of Belgian and European data protection legislation, which prevents them from making unlawful use of your personal data. Please note that the website's operator may be bound by other rules, depending on his jurisdiction.

Your rights with Mollom

You have the right to gain access to, correct and/or remove all personal data Mollom stores about you on their servers. All this is provided to you free of charge. In order to exercise your rights, please contact Mollom.
