Economic Development Services, Inc is the enterprise behind a network of websites covered by these privacy policy statements and the accompanying .network disclaimer.

It is our policy to operate a network of websites as a true online information service dedicated to global enterprise and economic development. The websites are not monitored in any way that allows you to unwittingly reveal personal personal information.

It is our policy to not demand the identities of email inquirers. CLICK HERE to see that we allow you to contact us anonymously by substituting the general identity of a location for anything else that you might be inclined to put in the subject line. We provide instructions for organizing an email subject that requires beginning with the word from followed by a colon. Emails from addresses that we've not heard from before come to use in bulk. Our procedure is to organize bulk email so that we see all of those together where instructions have been followed. These are our top priority for opening. Other emails received in bulk are assigned a low priority and are likely not to be opened at all.

It is our policy to provide a nonpartisan service online. We believe that our search promise clearly indicates that we take this approach. We offer opportunities for participation in the The Network by resource and service providers engaged in enterprise and economic development around the world. Participation means that contact data and/or useful links are published in .network websites, which is an advantage. The fact that we offer the Global Registry of Contacts verifies our nonpartisan stance. In all of this, however, there is no gathering of names and addresses for any other purpose than to serve users. We do not compile and sell, for example, direct marketing lists.

The ability to skillfully handle confidentiality stems from over 40 years of experience in the business of enterprise and economic development. We've been tried and tested time and again without incident. We know exactly what to do in acting with discretion.

It is our policy to not stand between .network users and those with whom they attempt to make contact or between them and resources we provide online.

It is our policy not to sell lists of contacts as indicated above. We do provide contact data as a service, for example, of the Site Selection Directory.

These privacy policies does not apply to the following:

information added to or taken from the Global Registry of Contacts*

information gleaned from promotional or advertising materials

information freely accessible through search engines*

encounters with cyberthugs

information provided to us on business cards*

information from public sources, such as libraries

an event of conflict as described in our disclaimer*

* It is our policy to honor requests from .network participants and applicants for records in the Global Registry of Contacts to withhold the publication or distribution of specified information. Also, we will give consideration to requests for removal of certain publicly available information or links published in our websites, but only in cases where some form of cooperation exists between the requesting party and us and only if we are convinced that acting upon the request serves the interests of .network users

Situations that would cause us to withdraw our offers to honor requests to withhold publication or distribution of information are described in our disclaimer.
