Motoblast, LLC is the sole owner of the information collected on 1800Message.com. Motoblast, LLC may collect personally identifiable information from our users at several different points on our Web site.

We use this information for billing purposes and to fill your orders. If we have trouble processing an order, we will use this information to contact you.

Social Security Numbers

Surveys or Contests
From time-to-time we may provide you the opportunity to participate in contests or surveys on our site. If you participate, we will request certain personally identifiable information from you. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. The requested information typically includes contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code).

We use this information to notify contest winners and award prizes, to monitor site traffic or personalize the site, to send participants an email newsletter.

We may use a third party service provider to conduct these surveys or contests; that company will be prohibited from using our users’ personally identifiable information for any other purpose. We will not share the personally identifiable information you provide through a contest or survey with other third parties unless we give you prior notice and choice.

Your friend may contact us at info@1800message.com to request that we remove this information from our database.
