Proxy Services Proxy connection logs are kept that enable our management team to monitor bandwidth usage and the number of page views. This information is only used by our staff so that we can continue to provide top quality service. Without knowing which proxy machines have high server loads, or which network segments are being consumed, we would not be able to add a server or allocate more bandwidth where it is needed. These logs are kept and compiled into a database program that enable our staff to compare connections and bandwidth against past months. This and all other information gathered by our servers, is kept private and is not released to the public or sold to any third party. SPAM LockDown Corp. Offers services such as virtual hosting, proxy, co-location, etc. You cannot use these or other LockDown services for any kind of illegal activity or SPAM. Our penalty for spam abuse is $25.00 per message and your account will be terminated. Note: In addition, some states have anti spam laws that allow the person receiving the message to sue the owner of the equipment for up to $500.00 per message. In these cases LockDown Corp. will turn over your personal information on request. i.e. If it was found that a bulk mailing was sent out from you and your account with us was terminated for this reason, your information would be provided to the person or organization requesting it from any state with an anti spam law.
