Privacy Policy

Sorry about the formal tone of this — My understanding is that Google won’t rate the site or index it without a privacy policy, so here it is… 

What information do we collect?

You may visit our site anonymously.  On pages and pages where comments are allowed, you may be asked to enter your name or e-mail address. If you subscribe to any of our newsletters or contact us via our contact form, we will have access to your name and email address.

We may contract with third-party service providers to assist us in better understanding our site visitors. These service providers are not permitted to use the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve our business.  Google Analytics collects data to tell us information about where our visitors come from, how long they stay on the site, but we do not receive any personal information from Google. 

Google, as a third party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on the site. Google’s use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to you on your visits to this and other sites on the Internet. We have no access to this information. Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy.

We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others rights, property, or safety.
