Notification of Data Collection + Privacy Policy

New data privacy rules have come into play if you are a visitor that requires GDPR compliance as of May 25, 2018.
If you are in the USA or Canada, this doesn’t apply to you. 
However, the information provided below is indeed applicable to anyone…


Any info you leave on this site is only used to perform the tasks you request it to. I protect your info under password protection, and keep ONLY what is absolutely required to perform the tasks you wish to perform, so your reader experience is a good one. Note that commenting on this site does require you to sign in with your email address or user name, and that information causes your profile information to appear next to your comment - this is the only instance where your personally identifying information is revealed to anyone. By signing in to comment, you accept these terms.


Here, you only get what you opt in for: if you want to sign up for an emailed blog post update because you just want the emailed blog post update, that’s what you’ll get. Everything involved is spelled out before you click SUBMIT so you can make an informed choice. BTW - if you are subscribed to my RSS feed via a third party app, such as Bloglovin', your information is gathered and saved by them, as well - and I have no access to their data. 


Thank-you for your visits, email subscriptions (and optional un-subscriptions too), comments, and for trusting this site to respect and take good care of your info.
