I am not a lawyer, nor do I claim to be.

What you will find here is plain, easy to understand English. At least, I hope that it is.

Privacy

My policy is simple: I will not give away or make money from your private information, such as your E-Mail address if you choose to Contact BV. The only disclosure exception would be a legal authority, meaning local, State, US Federal Court, foreign office or other official directs it. I have absolutely no idea why they would do such a thing… so your privacy is safe with Black Viper.

I may take selected quotes from an E-Mail that was directed into my inbox and re-post it on my domain. However, without your permission, I will not say “where” or “whom” that quote came from. This is to protect the innocent as well as the guilty.

Access logs are no longer maintained by me… as in, I do not log visit requests.

Cookies might be set in the browser via WordPress JavaScript (assuming I failed to delete the files before uploading), however, the server does not read that information. Meaning… they are not used by me for any tracking purposes as I could not care less about what you do.

If you are so generous as to give money or items via PayPal, the information collected by these services and publicly viewed is beyond my control and cannot be protected by me. However, any personal data that is viewed by me and under my control will not be shared with anyone else. The only disclosure exception would be a legal authority, meaning local, State, US Federal Court, foreign office or other official directs it. I have absolutely no idea why they would so such a thing… so your privacy is safe with Black Viper.
