Privacy, Security, & eCommerce Policies

Privacy

I will not provide your email address to any advertiser or data broker. Your address will not be provided to anyone who is not an employee (contract or direct) of Ask Leo! and/or Puget Sound Software, LLC unless I have your permission or am required to do so by law, with the exception of the details in Registration, below.

If you buy anything from us, the information you provide is also kept confidential and shared only with those services used as required to process your payment and purchase.

Registration and Personal Information

  • Free subscribers: I do not collect personal information unless you choose to subscribe to my mailings, in which case you must of course provide an email address for delivery of such mailings and, optionally, your name. To protect me, I keep a permanent record of such subscription requests. Free subscriptions are processed by a third-party “Email Service Provider” to distribute the newsletters, which has its own privacy policy. Once you “unsubscribe,” the subscription record I have access to on that provider’s site is deleted within one year, and usually much sooner. If you prefer it to be deleted sooner you can contact me with the request, which must specify the exact email address used or I won’t be able to find it.
  • Submitted Comments: All comments, whether sent by email or posted on this site or any of my other sites, become the property of Ask Leo! and Puget Sound Software, LLC and may be published. Comments will be published at my sole discretion. Once published, any editing of comments shall be at my sole discretion, including removing comments for any reason. I ask that you include your first name and general location with your comment, and these may be added by me if you fail to do so. Publication in my newsletters may include your first name and location, but will not include your email address, and may (or may not) be edited for length or clarity. Comments on the site will be removed in the case of spam, off-topic posts, “flaming,” invasion of others’ privacy or other legal reasons, or if they do not materially contribute to the discussion at hand.

Terms of Service

Our email newsletters and notifications are offered without charge for your personal use. In return for your free subscription, you agree to abide by the terms of the copyright notice, and you agree that you are responsible for maintaining your own subscription(s), including changing your own address or stopping your subscription when you choose. Unsubscribe links are included in every issue.

Underage Subscribers/COPA Information

Our publications are designed for adults and well-educated, older teens. Kids under 13 discovered on the distribution will be deleted.

Cookies

My sites — and any advertisers who make the free services possible — may use cookies or “trackers” to get statistics on who sees what ads, whether you click on the ads, etc. My sites also use cookies to (for instance) stop showing you “hovering” subscription forms when you dismiss them. I have no way to personally identify any specific person from these cookies.

Third-party advertising companies may also use cookies to serve ads. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of specific interest to you, and their privacy policies apply.

Affiliate Relationships

You should assume that any links on this site, or in emailed newsletters, is to a site that has an affiliate relationship and/or another material connection to the providers of goods and services mentioned, and I may be compensated when you purchase from such a provider, which does not change the price you pay. You should always perform due diligence before buying goods or services from anyone — via the Internet or offline.
