A Personal Note

During the 2018 GDPR rollout, I wrote a famously humorous policy poking fun at the confusing regulations. While a bit of laughter can lighten any situation, this current policy above is the official one I use to ensure your privacy and compliance for everyone’s peace of mind. Thanks for understanding, and for being here!
