Security Of Data

The security of your data is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While I strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, I cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Service Providers

Let’s be honest here – it’s WordPress – this is totally farmed out to them and their provision of service. So, I employ third party companies and individuals to facilitate this Service (“Service Providers”), to provide the blog hosting on my behalf, to perform blog-related services or to assist us in analyzing how my blog is used.

These third parties have access to your Personal Data only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

Links To Other Sites

My blog contains links to other sites that are not operated by me. If you click on a third party link, you will be directed to that third party’s site. I suggest you review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.

I have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services.

Children’s Privacy

My blog does not address anyone under the age of 18 (“Children”).

I do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 18. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your Children has provided me with Personal Data, please contact me as necessary.
