If you're getting spam e-mails about a product whose ad you looked at or about other products related to sites you look at (diet ads because you look at SparkPeople, scammy "charity" ads because you look at religious or charity sites, etc), have someone help you scan your computer for spyware. SparkPeople doesn't give out your e-mail, but if you picked up a virus somewhere, it can find your e-mail and then monitor your interests to target you with the spam that you'd be most likely to fall for. And think about getting ad-blocker software, so you won't see any outside ads to click on.

SP does not share your email address with their advertisers.

Thanks for your interest in helping us improve the quality of our advertising! While we don't necessarily endorse every product that is advertised on our website, we do our best to block ads that are misleading, unsafe, offensive or contradictory to our medically-accepted recommendations for healthy living and weight loss.

With over 100 million page views per month, it is impossible for our small team to catch all these "bad ads" before they happen. Our members are an important part of the SparkPeople movement and we rely on them to help track down and block inappropriate ads, so we really appreciate it when members take the time to alert us about them so that we can remove them from the site for good.

Be well,
Kelly

These ads are definately getting out of hand! I was told once that SP has no control over the advertisements! How ridiculous is that!
I keep getting emails from an advertisement that I accidently clicked on thinking it was a SP article...I did not give them my email address....so I can only believe that SP gave it!

I believe that you clicked on an advertisement and it added it to your tracker. (but you have to click the button to ad it to your tracker, it isn't automatic) You will simply have to remove the item and it probably isn't added for more than a few days.

Be well,
Kelly

Glucerna is entered into my nutrition tracker every day automatically. How can I stop this?
