Introduction
The site owner takes your right to privacy seriously, and wants you to feel comfortable using this web site. This privacy policy deals with personally-identifiable information (referred to as "data" below) that may be collected by this site. This policy does not apply to other entities that are not owned or controlled by the site owner, nor does it apply to persons that are not employees or agents of the site owner, or that are not under the site owner’s control. Please take time to read this site’s Terms of use.
Collection of data
Submitting an enquiry or comment to a post requires a valid e-mail address and a name. You are also required to provide phone number as a secondary means to contact you. You are not required to provide other information if you do not want to. Please be aware that the e-mail address you provide and any other information you enter may render you personally identifiable, and may possibly be displayed on this web site intentionally (depending on the way in which the site is configured) or unintentionally (subsequent to a successful act of intrusion by a third party). As on many web sites, the site owner may also automatically receive general information that is contained in server log files, such as your IP address, and cookie information. Information about how advertising may be served on this site (if it is indeed the site owner’s policy to display advertising) is set forth below.
Use of data
In the future, data may be used to customize and improve your user experience on this site. Efforts will be made to prevent your data being made available to third parties unless (i) provided for otherwise in this Privacy Statement; (ii) your consent is obtained, such as when you choose to opt-in or opt-out for the sharing of data; (iii) a service provided on our site requires interaction with a third party, or is provided by a third party, such as an application service provider; (iv) pursuant to legal action or law enforcement; (v) it is found that your use of this site violates the site owner’s policy, terms of service, or other usage guidelines, or if it is deemed reasonably necessary by the site owner to protect the site owner’s legal rights and/or property; or (vi) this site is purchased by a third party, in which case that third party will be able to use the data in the same manner as set forth in this policy. In the event you choose to use links displayed on this web site to visit other web sites, you are advised to read the privacy policies published on those sites.

However, the parties providing the advertising do not have access to this site’s cookies. These parties usually use non-personally-identifiable or anonymous codes to obtain information about your visits to this site. You can visit the Network Advertising Initiative if you want to find out more information about this practice, and to learn about your options.

You may request to update the information you provided, by submitting a request on the contact page. You can also request that your details be deleted;.

No Guarantees
While this privacy policy states standards for maintenance of data, and while efforts will be made to meet the said standards, the site owner is not in a position to guarantee compliance with these standards.
