Cookies are Small Bits of Tracking Data
Cookies are stored on your computer (or computerized device) in order to allow us to enhance the website with personal messages and interactive features. While this is meant for future improvements, I hope to enhance your web surfing experience on the site as soon as possible.

Interacting with the Website
The Newsletter
Soon, you will have the opportunity to sign-up for a low volume (1 to 2 messages per month) email based newsletter. If you do sign-up for this newsletter, you realize and agree to my maintaining the necessary registration information on my server in order to maintain and administer your membership and newsletter emails.
Third Party Software Application
This is an example of an enhancement to the website by adding a third party web application script. An exclusive membership area and an interactive dialog forum are other examples of planned site enhancements that rely on third party software.
Although I have no control over third party programming, I do research the available selections and try to choose the safest software solution. These scripts enhance the user experience of the website.
Contact: Interacting with Me
Should the opportunity to contact me through this website's online contact form (found in the footer of every page or by using the dedicated contact page) move you to do so, you understand and acknowledge that I will have and keep your personal contact information within my network in order to communicate with you effectively.
Domain Name Negotiation and Sales
Should we agree to a price and initiate the sale of a domain name, I may become privy to even more personal information, such as your registrar.
Your Personal Data is Private
I will protect your personal information and data as well as I can by keeping it within my network. It is not shared with, rented, loaned or given to any third parties outside my network and remains your personal information that I have been entrusted with.
My network is defined as my professional and personal computers, my business and home, and any staff that is employed by me whom is deemed capable and entrusted to handle accounts on my behalf.
I do not spam. I personally feel that spam has no positive purpose and think it should be oputlawed.
I keep as little of your personal data as possible.
Security
For the purposes of security, I store as little information about you as I possibly can, maintaining only the vital bits of information to keep membership registrations and newsletters active and the lines of communication open.
Reputable Third Party Broker Agents and Escrow Services
If we do enter an agreement to do a domain name deal, it will be handled by an approved, reputable authority in the business, such as Sedo or Escrow.com. This protects both of us, as it keeps each party's personal and financial information separate and private from each other.
Data Security
To safeguard your personal information, it is not shared with anyone outside my network. Should you not want to share your personal information with me and my authorized agents any longer, I will be happy to delete it upon request with proof of ownership.
Please do remember that as a matter of security, no financial information or transactions are initiated, transpire or are completed here. All financial data is the responsibility of the banks, financial institutions and escrow services that are entrusted with that responsibility.
Data Loss
I am not responsible for maintaining your personal information and data. Certainly I will attempt to keep it available should we be interacting with each other in any way. However, should I have no need for it, I may delete all your personal information and data without notice, whether you have a relationship with me or the website, or not.
I also maintain the right, at my sole discretion, to delete personal data and refuse service to anyone causing more problems than solutions when dealing with online community issues. Sometimes banning a user may become necessary.
I am simply retaining retaining my right to delete any data I choose, and furthermore, I am not responsible for said data that may be lost due to catostrophic data loss, accident, nefarious circumstances, or acts of God.
