Do not sign in, do not subscribe, do not leave comments, just go.
If you decide to stay, then what you see below is a Privacy Policy template provided by WordPress – Thank you! It hase been filled in to the best of my ability and is accurate to the best of our knowledge.

Who we share your data with
Maria & I are extremely selfish – we don’t share your data with anyone… at least, not deliberately!!

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators (that’s me) can also see and edit that information.

You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service; Akismet.
