Information Collection, Use & Sharing
This website only collects information that you supply voluntarily via comments to blog posts, messages sent from the Contact page, or other direct contact from you, such as name, email address, and free-text comments. This website does not specifically request credit card numbers, social security number, date of birth, address, or any other sensitive forms of personally identifiable information.
Information you submit may pass through automated third-party data analysis systems for the purpose of identifying “spam” and prevent abuse of this website. I will not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your information to any outside party, except as legally required to comply with requests from law enforcement.
Information you supply will be used only to enhance the experience on the website for you and other visitors and will not be used to contact you except as necessary to respond to comments posted to blog entries or messages sent to me via email.
Your Access to and Control Over Information
This website does not offer functionality for visitors to create an individual account or personal profile, and thus, you will not have the ability to directly view and manage the data you have submitted.

- See what data I have about you, if any.
