PRIVACY POLICY

Below see our Privacy Policy for this site from our own lawyers as well as from the hyenas at Google.

Privacy Policy
We do not currently do pop-ups and do not give a rat’s ass about your personal information. In short, we don’t sell your info which amounts to your e-mail address from some comment or subscription registration, which is closed, by the way, because too many scammers use it to try and compromise the site.

This may change. One never knows. Besides, we just aren’t set up to harvest e-mails and sell them to Russian and Asian gangsters selling porn, viagra, and horse tranquilizers.

Confidentiality and Transmissions over the Internet
The transmission of data or information (including communications by e-mail) over the Internet or other publicly accessible networks is not secure, and is subject to possible loss, interception or alteration while in transit.

Accordingly, do not assume any liability for any damage you may experience or costs you may incur as a result of any transmissions over the Internet or other publicly accessible networks, such as transmissions involving the exchange of e-mail with us (including those that may contain your personal information). We don’t control the Internet or how it works. So we make no efforts to safeguard the privacy of the information you provide us, period. End of that discussion.

Read this one carefully:

UNLESS YOU CLEARLY MARK YOUR COMMUNICATIONS TO THIS SITE OR EDITOR AS CONFIDENTIAL, OR SIGN OUR NON DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT (NDN)

All submissions to this website, or to its editor in any capacity, via email or any other means, becomes our property to make life easier. You accept this and live with it. It’s too much work otherwise. In no event will the information you provide to us be deemed to be confidential, create any fiduciary obligations to you on our part, or result in any liability to you on our part in the event that such information is inadvertently released by us or accessed by third parties without our consent.

Because we are as poor as church mice and have no other means of support other from time to time serving Google Ads on this site so we could grovel and grasp at the measly click-thru payouts from Google that wouldn’t cover one Wednesday nite bar tab, please be aware of Google’s Privacy Policy, which we also post here:
