Privacy Policy and Terms of Use Welcome to KevinABarnes.com, the website of Kevin A. Barnes. (Never would have guessed, huh?) What information do we collect and how do we use it? You may browse this website without identifying yourself or providing any personally identifiable information about yourself. When you interact with KevinABarnes.com through your computer or mobile device, however, the website’s server does record certain non-identifying site usage data, such as the number of visits to website pages. Cookies are text files that are stored in the internet browser or by the internet browser on the user’s computer or mobile device. Simply put, the KevinABarnes.com website does not use cookies for any reason. No Google Analytics. No advertising trackers (if fact, no advertising, period.) No “save your preferences” requests. Absolutely no cookies downloaded or stored on your computer or other device. This refusal to use cookies means that you are not being tracked and that this website is in full compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In the unlikely event that this site’s refusal to use cookies changes in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated to reflect that fact. If you elect to submit comments to KevinABarnes.com, sign up for email newsletters, or submit a contact form through this ssite, you may be asked to provide personal information that may include items such as name, address, city, state, zip, phone number and email address. We may use this information to communicate with you by email or post from time to time. The staff of KevinABarnes.com keep all names, addresses, and all other personal information supplied by site visitors strictly confidential. Please keep in mind, however, that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online, e.g. on message boards, through email, or in chat areas, that information is publicly visible and may be collected and used by others. Do we share your information? Simply put, “No,” we do not sell, rent or otherwise share your personally identifiable information under any circumstances, except as compelled by law. The only times we may disclose personally identifiable information are if we are required to do so by law AND we in good faith believe that such action is necessary to [A] comply with the law or with legal process; [B] protect and defend our rights and property; [C] protect against misuse or unauthorized use of the Site; or [D] protect the personal safety or property of our users or the public. If we are required by law to disclose any information that you have submitted, we first will attempt to provide you with notice (unless we are prohibited) that a request for your information has been made in order to give you an opportunity to object to the disclosure. We will attempt to provide this notice by email, if you have given us an email address, or by postal mail if you have entered a postal address. If you do not challenge the disclosure request, we may be legally required to turn over your information. In addition, we will independently object to any and all requests for access to information about users of KevinABarnes.com that we believe to be improper. The bottom line is that we are willing and prepared to spend a long time rotting in jail before we hand over your email address or other personal information to anyone. Do you know of any other websites that are willing to go to those lengths to protect your personally identifiable information?
