ONLINE PRIVACY POLICY for www.jimsayers.com – Revised August 27, 2020

Preamble:

I do not like the fact that we need Privacy Policies, but I do occasionally read them. I also understand that, due to the nature of the Internet, there is little, if any, privacy actually left. Nevertheless, I view privacy as a right that all of us have. However, the legal types, and the operators of the Internet, insist that a Privacy Policies be available for every website. Accordingly, the following lawyer induced PRIVACY POLICY applies to my website.

-Jim
