Spycleaner Platinum now bundled with WhenU Save
Last Night, May 10, 2006, during a long over due visit to topdownloads.net to look at their spycleaner, they now have a platinum version, so I began the free scan install and got a nice little surprise. The first of the install box's state you either accept WhenU save or cancel the install.
Here is their "See Privacy Policy below about the freeware version"
at spycleaner.net.

Privacy Policy
By downloading SaveNow (the "Software"), you give permission to WhenU.com, Inc. ("WhenU") to display relevant contextual pop-up ads, comparison shopping results and coupons. The Software selects which ads and offers to show you based on several factors, including: Web pages you visit, terms you enter into search engines and other online forms, content of the Web pages you view and your IP address and zip code.
The Software protects your privacy by uploading a database of content in small chunks to your desktop and then determining on your desktop whether to retrieve information from WhenU or third-party servers. To protect your privacy, the same database of content is sent to all desktops. Decisions regarding which ads to retrieve to an individual desktop are all processed on the individual user's desktop - and isolated from WhenU servers. In this way, WhenU is able to deliver to you relevant coupons, information and advertisements without sending all of your browsing activity back to WhenU and without establishing any profile about you (even anonymously) on WhenU servers.
Your privacy is also protected in the following manner:
Your personally-identifiable information is not required in order to use the Software. WhenU does not know your individual identity and does not attempt to discern it in any way.
As you surf the Internet, your "clickstream data" (i.e. a log of all the sites you visit) is not transmitted to WhenU or any third party server.
WhenU does not assemble any personally-identifiable browsing profiles of you or your individual machine.
WhenU does not assemble any anonymous machine-identifiable browsing profile of you or your machine.
WhenU does not track which ads and offers you see as an individual user - all of our analysis and tracking of ads is done in the aggregate.
The Software does send back a limited amount of information from your desktop in order to count the number of users in our network and optimize the performance and relevance of the ads. For example, the Software may send WhenU or a WhenU partner a communication that includes information about the Webpage you were viewing when you saw or clicked on a particular ad, the term you entered into a search engine or online form and/or your IP address or zip code. WhenU has intentionally designed these communications back to WhenU or a WhenU partner to be highly protective of user privacy in the following ways:
Each individual desktop is assigned an anonymous, unique machine ID. This machine ID is used only to enable WhenU to count unique, active desktops in the network. The machine ID is not used to determine which ads to serve individual users or to create browsing profiles of users.
When ads are requested and/or displayed by the Software, impressions and click-throughs, including the factor (e.g., the URL, keyword, search term, zip code or some combination thereof) that caused the ad to be displayed are reported to WhenU. To protect your privacy and prevent WhenU or any third party from assembling individual user profiles or knowing which Websites you visit, your unique machine ID is intentionally excluded from these limited ad-optimization communications sent back to WhenU.
The Software does not place any tracking cookies on your desktop. The Software does occasionally make use of session cookies for the transmission of information between the Software's windows. Session cookies are stored in temporary memory, not retained after the browser is closed, and do not collect information from the user's computer. It is possible that a third party advertising on our network might place a cookie on your desktop. If you wish to opt-out from third party cookies, please click on the following link and follow the instructions: http://www.networkadvertising.org/optout_nonppii.asp.
WhenU is committed to serving highly relevant, contextual pop-up ads, comparison shopping results and coupons, while still providing consumers with industry-leading privacy protection. For any further questions about our privacy policy, please email privacy@whenumail.com or call us toll free at (866) WHENU-11.
WhenU may update this Privacy Policy at any time, however, you will be provided with notice of any material changes to the Software or this Privacy Policy. Updates to this Privacy Policy may be found at http://www.whenu.com/pc_savenow.html and http://www.whenu.com/EULAs/savenow_eula.html.
For any material change to the Software or the privacy protective nature of the Software, WhenU will provide notice and request your permission prior to making such a change.
