A privacy statement - according to various global regulatory boards I require to have a privacy statement for folks to look at.  This sets out the terms and conditions of signing up for membership or subscribing to the website mailing list.

​

What information do I collect?

When signing up for membership, this site collects the email address provided.  When establishing membership in the Forum, the email address is stored as well as a username if chosen.  Anyone who contacts me or has contacted me via the 'contact form' is stored as a 'contact' and the email given, any name if given, and the country of the user's ip address is stored in a contacts list.

​

When subscribing to the Mailing List, the visitor is agreeing to the collection of their email address and the name they provide to be stored as a contact; and acknowledging agreement to receiving blog updates and the occasional notice of website activity.

​

Purchases made using Paypal buttons are handled via the Paypal platform, financial data is secured via Paypal security protocols and I do not receive any access to that information.  I receive postal address info as provided by the buyer.

​

This information is collected through your use of the site, and is information you provide voluntarily.  Your information is contained within secured networks, in this case maintained by Wix.com.

​

What cookies does this site use?

I do not make active use of Google Analytics, however this site's engine uses cookies to provide statistics on site activity.  Visitor activity is logged as it is for any other platform like Youtube.  Personal data is not collected for this.

Privacy is Important to Me

I do not share contact information; or use any contact information given to me other than for the purpose of communicating with the one who contacted.  All contact information is stored in the website dashboard format, not off site.
