Well, there is a bunch of legalese below. I have not had time to read it. I doubt I will read it anytime soon. I don't know if it's reasonable or not. Personally, I would ignore it.

See what I'm saying?
Here's my take, I will not sell your email addresses (unless they offer me millions, then, all bets are off). I don't care if you use fake names, fake zipcode, fake everything. All you need is a working email address (and love, of course). If you're worried about giving out your email, create a new one, it takes about 3 minutes nowdays. It's a pain in the neck to check multiple email accounts though. And your gonna end up with 500 email address if you take that tack.
I will do everything in my power to not expose email addresses on the site. If you ever see someone's email exposed, let us know at admin@fenderavenue.com so we can jump to action and figure out what the sam hell happened and get it fixed.
If you click the little “Remember Login” option, I'm sure it's going to drop a cookie. There may be cookies in other parts of the site, I have no idea. All I can tell you is this site is not part of the all-encompassing new world order which is tracking your every move (I swear).
Have fun.
Yours truly,
