Privacy Policy

Ah, privacy, there’s so little of it these days, especially in the digital maze that is the Internet. But while you’re visiting my cozy online space, I want you to know that your privacy is important to me. No one likes having their email in-box stuffed with unwanted junk, so I’m going to care for the information you give me and will only use it as it was intended. So here’s my site’s privacy policy:

This website is committed to protecting any personal information you choose to share. When you use the contact form or otherwise communicate with me, your name, email address, and any additional details you provide are collected solely for the purpose of responding to your inquiries and improving your experience on the site.

I don’t sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to outside parties except as required by law. All personal data is stored securely and only accessible by authorized personnel. You have the right to request access to, update, or delete your information at any time by contacting me.

When you sign up for my newsletter, your email address will be stored on Substack.

Cookies are used on this site to make sure the integrity of the registration process and to personalize the site. A cookie is a tiny text file placed on your hard disk by a Web page server, not, alas, the gooey double chocolate kind still warm from the oven. Cookies can’t be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. This website may use cookies to enhance user experience, analyze site traffic, and personalize content. By continuing to use this site, you consent to our use of cookies in accordance with this policy. Links to external sites are provided for your convenience, but I’m not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Many Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of this or other Web sites you visit.

The only sure thing about this fast-moving world is that change will happen. I may occasionally update this privacy statement. When I do, changes will be posted on this page. I encourage you to periodically review this privacy statement to stay up to date about how I’m helping to protect the personal information I collect. 

While I love traveling abroad, I live in the United States, and that’s where this site is hosted. If you’re accessing the site from outside the United States, by providing your information to the site, you’re agreeing to the transfer of your information to the United States for processing and maintenance in accordance with this Privacy Notice. You’re also consenting to the application of United States law in all matters concerning the site.

If you have any questions or concerns about how your information is handled, please feel free to reach out using the contact form.
