I collect limited personal information about who you are and where you are, as well as technical data about how you are accessing this site. This personal information can be deleted or edited by you at anytime, except for anonymized information stored by third-party services that is impossible for me to delete. I work hard to keep your information private, however, because the Internet can never be completely secure, you give me your info at your own risk. If I have a security breach, I will email you within 72 hours of identification of a breach.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12 month period.

You will not be discriminated against if you exercise your rights to access and/or delete your data.
I do not sell any personal information to any parties, and have not in the past 12 months.
I engage third parties to perform functions and provide services to me, including hosting, email, product downloads and website analytics.
