Privacy Policy


Much of the info under this paragraph is from a template. So don’t worry about the lawyer talk, I’m not collecting or sharing your data for any nefarious reasons. Comments may be shared on the page that you made them. If you wish for me to remove it, please post another comment stating your request and I will oblige the best of my ability. The only other thing I might keep is your email to reply back. And I definitely won’t be sharing or selling it to anyone else (who the hell would I sell it to anyways?!?) I don’t have cookies setup (as far as I know), and only statistics I might have is anonymous page visitation counts. I use Google Site Kit, but again, only for anonymous visit info. -J
