Personal privacy is very important to me. I assure you that I will not sell, trade or give away any personal information to third parties. Personal information will only be used for authentic discussion.
Personal Information Given Voluntarily
Visitors can provide personal information in different ways:
- Comments: Leaving a comment on the blog requires an email address, name (real or fake), and a message. Email addresses are not visible to the public and will only be used for communication regarding your comment or question, never spam.
- Direct Communication: If you contact me directly I will not use any of your personal information (including email, phone number, address, etc.) for spam or give your personal information to any third party.
- Joining the Email List: Signing up for my email list requires an email address and optional name. This information is managed by MailChimp.
