I'm suppose to have a privacy policy posted on my blogs because I run ads by Google. The Adsense ads are the ones you see on my sidebars or at the tops of my garden blogs. I'm required to post something along the lines of " I use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit my blogs. 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. " In addition to that I would like it to be known that I don't and will not trade or sell any personal info disclosed to me either when you comment on a garden blog of mine or when send me a message directly--because that's tacky.  Although, if you send me a juicy piece of gossip and I spread it around and someone waterboards or takes my houseplants hostage in an effort to make me give up your name, I just might. Ok?
