When I learned that there’s a scroll of legalese about three miles long that’s supposed to go on one’s Privacy Policy page, I froze.

In fact all the rules and regs and warnings made me a little nauseous. I almost came to the conclusion that, you know what, f– the website.

If it’s that damn complicated and dangerous to have someplace to store and share my words, I’m just not interested. I’ll just take the thing down.

Then, I went for a walk, meditated, had a glass of wine and a cookie (that’s what we’re talking about here, right? Cookie policy?), took some deep breaths.

Then I came up with this:

If you give me your first name and email address so I can mail you fun and interesting stuff, it is stored on a very reputable and secure email service provider platform called MailChimp. You can read their privacy policies HERE.

I also use a service called hCaptcha that helps determine if folks contacting me are real humans or bots. I chose a company that does not sell visitor’s personal information You can read their privacy policy HERE.

That is all.

Thank you for trusting me with contact information. I will never share it with anyone. Ever.
