Privacy Policy

PRIVACY POLICY

Michele Dunaway (yes, that’s me) operates micheledunaway.com website. And I value your privacy. If you want to hear from me, sign up for my newsletter or follow me on Twitter and Facebook. Otherwise, I believe that your data is yours. The only data I really want from you is data you provide freely. However, some of my security features and stuff that makes my site work may need some of your information, called cookies. I personally prefer Oreos, but my website does not.

So what does that mean? It means that if you choose to come hang out with me here, you agree to the collection and use of information in relation with this policy. The Personal Information that is collected are is used for providing and improving this service. Repeating, I will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy. In fact, I’m grateful to Wayne Stinnett who shared a lot of the wording here with me. Thank you Wayne. (He’s got great murder and mayhem beach reads. Worth checking out, but not yet, you got more to read here.)

Security

We value your trust in providing us your Personal Information, thus we are striving to use commercially acceptable means of protecting it, including an SSL and CleanTalk. But remember that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security. But I’m going to try. I like being safe, and I want you to feel safe coming here too.
