Privacy

Local companies have always sought out the methods to which they can reach their clients by offering the best services, prices and after sales methods in terms of customer requirements and wants.

But of late, there has been a disturbing more than alarming issue that these companies have started to develop by leaving junk mail on your door step. And you thought your Internet service provider was bad. These firms will go to the extent of not only ringing your doorbell to demonstrate their products and services but also to the point of leaving their unwanted pamphlets showcasing their special offers to you without the need to go beyond the borders of your own household.

Such mail, in some terms, can be categorized as somewhat inventive and even to the point of being creative to allow fluid choice at the rest of the customer to just pick up and dial should they be interested in such a thing. But what about the rest of the people who by the very glimps of these trading pamphlets, choose to either shred the into bits and pieces, throw them away or trash them right off.

The point of this all, that a person or a family is no longer protected by the sacred boundaries of his own quarters to have a firm that is trying to illude him into their wonderous web of various products and services and have their own (the individual/family) privacy invaded.

Chosen individuals would most likely not be interested to be indulged into such superficial matters of trade that involves the end-user agreement to be triggered by the time the product/service is delivered.

And that would be just the beginning..
