We will never knowingly sell, give away, or share your email or other identification information without your explicit permission.
That being said, this is the internet and there are things we can not control. First, to generate revenue we are currently utilizing the Google Adsense program which makes use of cookies. This is the same program used by most websites used the same way they seem to use it. Therefore, nothing really new here.
The language Google gives (Which they get from the Network Advertising Initiative site is as follows:
- Google, as a third party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on your site.
- Google’s use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to your users based on their visit to your sites and other sites on the Internet.
- Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy.
We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our website. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies, click here.
Google’s privacy policy can be found here.
We also use the Feedburner service to manage RSS and Email feeds. This is done to help simplify your experience and utilize the resources of a large company to protect your information. Feedburner does not have the right to use or sell your information in any way without your permission.
Google has recently changed their advertising program to include more of your surfing behavior as part of their ad selection process. We will be evaluating this program as it rolls out to understand it’s impact on privacy. Currently it looks like this program is making use of information Google is gathering from all ad sense (and non-adsense enabled) sites unless you opt out at GOOGLE.S web site.
