Spondo is committed to protecting your privacy, not just because we’ll get in big trouble if we aren’t but also because we know what it’s like to want that kind of security – we wouldn’t want to sign-up with any online service provider who didn’t take privacy seriously either! Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and disclose your information. Read on…
