Collection of Information
OpenFence collects personal information when you sign-up to participate in a neighborhood eNewsletter, subscribe to the neighborhood eNewsletter and/or participate in advertising opportunites.

Our web logs collect standard web log entries for each page served, including your IP address, page URL, and timestamp. These logs help us to diagnose problems with our server and to otherwise provide our service to you.

Editorial Oversite
OpenFence is intended to be public forum allowing individuals to express themselves freely regarding issues that have relevance to our communities. Our hope to help evolve a system that can strike a balance between positive and negative public commentary and we encourage the users to try to find balance in their usage of this system. Users that try to monopolize this forum with consistant negative commentary will be asked to moderate their tone. OpenFence reserves the right to remove commentary or to terminate or suspend access to any user at any time for publishing information that it deems innappropriate or inconsistent with its vision.  OpenFence, at its sole discretion, can terminate the accounts of, and refuse service to, any User who knowingly violates this Agreement.
