GDPR Compliance
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.

CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy.

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.

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.
