It is my conviction that privacy is an essential human right, akin to the fundamental right of each of us to be free of unwarranted intrusion into, or interference with, our personal lives. The advent of the information age has thrown this right into bold relief, and I have invested much time and effort into creating a forceful privacy policy for my web site, to enshrine fair, ethical, and trustworthy information practices that protect the integrity of the relationship I share with my site's visitors.
International Standards Although personal and non-profit web sites such as
mine are exempt from many privacy laws, I have voluntarily developed a privacy policy drawn from the most stringent laws and standards from
around the world.
Preserving Your Anonymity You need not reveal any personal information whatsoever to visit my web site, to view any of the pages, or to download any of my files.
Optional and Limited Information Collection My web site offers three optional services: subscribe
to my newsletter; volunteer with one of my
public affairs projects; and contribute
to a project.
Guaranteed Non-Disclosure I will not sell or rent any of your personal information to any third party under any circumstances whatsoever.
Limited Information Retention I will retain your information only to provide you with the services you have requested.
Highest Security Encryption If you choose to contribute
online to support one of my public affairs projects, my site will
assure the security and privacy of your transaction with Secure Socket
Layer (SSL) technologies, including 128bit strong-encryption keys.
Cookies If you subscribe to my newsletter, the subscription process will be assisted by a temporary session cookie, which will be used only for this function and which will delete itself the moment you close your browser window.
No Advertising There is no third-party commercial advertising at my web site, and I will provide no information whatsoever to commercial advertisers about visitors to my site. I may occasionally post buttons or links encouraging you to visit or support charitable or public interest sites.
Safeguarding Information Any personal information you provide to me will be kept in the strictest of confidence and protected online and offline. Information is stored on a password-protected single computer and not on a server.
Changes to this Policy Should it become necessary for me to alter this privacy policy in any substantial way, I will notify you by posting a notice at my web site. Should you object to a proposed change to the privacy policy, you will be at absolute liberty to require me to modify or delete any information I hold from you.
Accountability and Enforcement I have named Oksana Golizyn to act as my web site's independent Chief Privacy Officer. She will monitor the web site's compliance with this policy, conduct random privacy audits, and enforce any remedial action she may deem necessary. If you have any privacy concerns with my site, please feel free to contact Oksana directly. |
