If we change our privacy policy we will place a notice on this page of the site, so that you will be aware of the information we collect about you and how we use it at all times.

Compostinfo does not send out SPAM, (sometimes known as unsolicited emails), nor are our servers being used to send out SPAM. SPAM attributed to Compostinfo.org originates from viruses such as W32.Sobig.F which are mass-mailing worms that send themselves to all the email addresses that they find on a host's system. These emails typically use fake FROM addresses. These addresses are arbitrarily picked from the internet and unfortunately they occasionally use the domain Compostinfo.org. Commercial bulk e-mail organisations (spammers) also use fake FROM address inorder to circumvent anti-spam software. By using this site or submitting your email addresses you accept that there is a possibility that you may receive SPAM, and that at present there is nothing Compostinfo or its ISP can do about this. However, we are maintaining a mis-use log for the domain Compostinfo.org in case it becomes possible in the future to take some action. We would be therefore grateful if you would foreword any offending emails to spamreport@Compostinfo.org.

All disputes arising in connection with this web site shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts. Registered in England and Wales. No. 3231566 Registered Office: |
