This privacy policy applies ONLY to
things on SphynxCat's Real Vampires Support Page.
I have to say this because many of my links lead to other people's sites,
and I have no control over their content or privacy policies.
E-MAILING ME THROUGH THE FEEDBACK FORM
The feedback form is a third-party tool through Bravenet - please also see the Bravenet privacy policy link below.
I tend to save e-mails (but not always), especially the complimentary ones,
however nothing is sold or traded to any third party. If you want me to delete
your feedback after I've read/responded to it, all you have to do is tell
me in the body of the message and I will be happy to do so.
If your feedback includes a question about something
I cannot answer, I may forward your e-mail to the one or two people I think
might have the answers that I don't. I'll be honest, in the time I've had
the site up (since 1999), I've done that exactly once, and only because the
person seemed to need the info ASAP. My normal response is to point people
sending me feedback to the respective person or website I feel could help
them.
I will answer your question to the best of my ability,
but I do not guarantee I'll be able to solve your particular problem(s).
For legal reasons, all answers are "for entertainment purposes only."
I
reserve the right to publish frequently asked questions in one or more collected lists
with no names (and likewise no personally identifying information) attached. I further reserve the right to choose whether the question is appropriate,
deserving of an answer, and the right to edit or modify it for editorial clarity
and grammatical correctness, if published.
TELL-A-FRIEND SCRIPT
This feature has been removed due to spammers taking advantage of it.
VIEWING THIS SITE
I, personally, collect NO personally identifying information
from anyone simply viewing this site, regardless of browser, nor do I solicit
information from anyone simply viewing this site. The Hitbox and Bravenet
counters collect information (see their sections below) but I do not believe
it is personally identifying, judging by what I've seen on the stats.
I encourage parents to take an active role in protecting
the privacy and security of their children, and to prevent the inappropriate
use of information about their children. I recognize that censoring software
is in common use, however I, as always, consider it a poor substitute for
what should be appropriate parental supervision of internet use and involvement
in their child's life.
SPAM
I do not send out unsolicited commercial e-mails, or
"spam". I have an opt-in list, located at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sphynxcat_news,
which I use to keep subscribers updated to major changes. Opt-out instructions
are on the list's main page, as well as each e-mail that gets sent out. I
may occasionally invite people to join the list, but I do not automatically
subscribe them.
THE FOLLOWING THIRD-PARTY SERVICES ARE ALSO IN USE

site analytics needs.

ring" service)
