I want to thank the person who brought this to my attention.
Another board has accused us of reading your Personal Messages. First, let me say a few things about your privacy. We are firmly committed to protecting your privacy at all costs. We will not knowingly give out and private information. We have taken great pains here to lock out email harvesters and to ensure this software is the most secure fishing site anywhere. We have daily backups, built-in virus protection, SQL injection protection and many other features which protect you the members.
Now, every single database driven message board on earth has one thing in common. All the text is stored in a database. It has to be somewhere so you can read it. There is no built in feature to read your messages. We certainly could go into the database and read them. They are encrypted and you would need to know the encryption code. So even if someone got into the data, they would also need to know the md5 and salt we use.
Every other message board does not encrypt the text. It is a simple matter of making a SQL query to the appropriate places.
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
You have my word and that of all involved that it does not and will not happen. We would only supply this information under court order.
Anyone telling you that Invision has built in PM readers for moderators or admins is telling you a lie. Invision offers free trial versions of this software, download one and look for yourself.
We will be publishing an official privacy policy for everyone's protection.
