Too long: didn’t read

I don’t collect any personal information unless you contact me and offer it.

My web host and Google, and probably lots of other companies, collect traffic information and probably put cookies on your computer. I don’t have any control over that, but I can see the information if I go and look.

All external links were safe when I made them. I cannot control what other sites do once you’ve clicked and moved to them.

The rest of it is boilerplate, but you really should look if you are concerned about privacy and security.
