1. Privacy Policy

The issue of personal privacy is important to me. Yours and my privacy is one of my main principles of communication.

You should never have to ask that any personal identifiable information be kept in confidence. That should be explicitly understood to be inherent in all cases. In our crowded and hurried world it is all too easy for personal information to be shared with little thought to consequences.

Without reading any further, you can be assured all precautions are being, and will be taken, to protect your information. The web is by nature very sharing. No absolute guarantees can be promised, but we will do our best to maintain confidentiality.
