Protect Yourself Against Internet Fraud And Spam

At ILME, we do not collect email addresses nor store them in any fashion. We do not sell nor distribute email addresses or share private information about any individual. We hold your privacy as a trust.

We do not gather nor store any information about any visitor beyond the usual site maintenance of any legitimate website.

We welcome your prayer requests and want to assure you that people are praying for your requests. We know that sometimes you would like a reply to your request and we'd love to reply to you but need your email address so we can do that. At the same time, we'd like to offer some common sense helps to protect your email address from spam.

We do not sell any email addresses from those who submit prayer requests to our site to any 3rd party. However, saying that, spammers (advertisers) send 'robots' to guestbooks and message boards, snooping for email addresses that they in turn sell to advertisers. There are also unscrupulous people and even cults who visit websites, especially prayer pages, to gather addresses and to answer prayer requests as if they represent the website. Just for your information. If you receive any answer to your prayer request on the I Lift My Eyes - Christian Prayer Warriors,Praying For Others & Submit Prayer Requests website that is not from us we can not verify the doctrine nor the heart intent of the sender.

Most websites have no way of stopping these annoying robot critters from scooping up email addresses. I use a method to help stop some of these harvesters from taking addresses from my site

To help protect your personal email address, here are some ideas.

Consider getting an Gmail or Hotmail free email address and use this address for submitting prayer requests, talking in chat rooms, message boards, prayer boards, online shopping, etc. When it gets too full of spam, just create a new address. That way, your personal email address won't be the target of the spam robots. Consider the Yahoo or hotmail accounts as disposable addresses. Every year, or when you notice a sharp increase in junk mail arriving in those email boxes, just abandon them and start a new email address. Never give out your permanent, personal email address to anyone that you don't personally know.

Replace the @ in your email address for the word -AT-, such as prayerneeded-AT-hotmail.com the robots don't recognize the word -AT- as email but most people will realize -AT- equals @. This will only work if you leave your address in the BODY of your message and not in the spot set aside for email. If a site insists you leave your email address and you don't quite trust the site or their privacy policy is too hard to understand, place a fake address such as anon@anon.org .
