Brad’s Reader Privacy Policy

How I have managed to run this blog since December 2006 and never have a privacy policy is beyond me. In fact, it never really occurred to me that I needed one until just recently. This is just a blog where people read my posts, maybe leave a comment or two, and if you really like me, subscribe to my newsletter. I’m not exactly collecting valuable data that I’m going to use in nefarious ways. (or am I?)

Yet the powers-that-be will beg to differ. So I have written this privacy policy in hopes to alleviate any fears that this blog is harmful to your computer, finances, privacy, love life, etc. I make no promises about this blog adversely affecting your mental health though.

Here it goes:

1. Leaving a comment or subscribing to my newsletter requires you give your email address. Your email address stays 100% confidential. I never sell, rent, or give away your email to any third party for any reason. If you leave a comment, I might send you a quick thank-you note via email, but that’s about it.

2. I do use third-party advertising on this blog (mainly Amazon.com and Google Adsense). They both utilize cookies and collect non-personal identifying information about you.

We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our website. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies, click here.

3. Google will be implementing "interest based" advertising that will allow Google to serve ads that are based on your interests. Please read more about the program here.

4. Please read Amazon’s privacy policy.

5. Additional cookies may be used and non-personal identifying information collected for the purposes site statistics, so I can better improve this blog by know where visitors are coming from, the posts they are reading, time spent on site, and the number of pages readers visit during their session at Brad’s Reader.

Please note that these site statistic programs, and even leaving a comment, allows me to see your IP address, although I don’t do anything with it.
