Just visiting a website leaves a trail of information or “digital footprint” about you. Sometimes this footprint is vague and preserves your anonymity and other times it is tied specifically to you and your real life identity. Almost all websites today collect data about visitors, and this website is no different. It is our belief that you deserve to know how we handle your information. Consequently, the Privacy Policy set out here is a disclosure concerning our intent with your data. It is not a legally binding contract. It is a statement of intent made in good faith. We reserve the right to change, modify or update this policy at any time without notice. Any substantial changes in the way we use your personal information will be posted on this website.
If you are unsure what something means, please ask. Contact information is available at the bottom of this page.
