privacy

RE: privacy, our high-powered legal representation told us to tell you we may need to collect a little bit of data from you, but only to do things like offer you downloads or a subscription to our free newsletter. We won’t send you unsolicited stuff, we won’t sell your information, and of course we’ll stop sending you anything and even get rid of any information we have about you if you ask us. Basically, we don’t have time to invade your privacy for a quick buck, and we have no problem complying with the spirit and substance of the GDPR. If you don’t know what that is already, you can either find out what it is, or don’t worry about it. In either case, we don’t and won’t do anything you wouldn’t want us to do with any data you provide to make the site work for you.
