The EU’s General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) take effect on May
25th, 2018. I agree with the spirit of these regulations and am willing to support
all laws that enable internet users to remain sovereign individuals. I aspire to
embrace privacy by design and, whenever possible, to not collect and store
personally identifiable information. I only collect information that helps me
deliver a better service and experience for you when browsing this site, reading
my content, and engaging with my products.
At any time, you are free to ask me to unsubscribe you from my email
newsletter or request your information to be exported and sent to you for
review. Just reply to the email in question and include ‘GDPR’ in the subject
line, as well as the specifics of your request. I’m here to help.

otherwise handle your Personally Identifiable Information in accordance with

California Online Privacy Protection Act
CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and
online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond
California to require a person or company in the United States (and conceivably
the world) that operates websites collecting personally identifiable information
from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website
stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals with whom
it is being shared, and to comply with this policy.

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)
When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under 13,
the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control.
The Federal Trade Commission, the nation’s consumer protection agency,
enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and
online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online.
We do not specifically market to children under 13.
Fair Information Practices
The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in
the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in
the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the
Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is
critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal
information.
In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following
responsive action, should a data breach occur:
We will notify the users via email within 7 business days. We also agree to the
individual redress principle, which requires that individuals have a right to
pursue legally enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail
to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have
enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to
courts or a government agency to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance
by data processors.
CAN SPAM Act
The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email,
establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to
