The author of "The French Genealogy Blog", hosted on Typepad.com does not gather, retain, store or use any personal information but for the sole case of responding by e-mail to some of those who leave comments on this blog.

Log Data
The French Genealogy Blog does not collect information that your browser may send when you visit our blog, nor do we use Google Analytics or other third party services that collect, monitor and analyze log data.
Communications
We do not send any newsletters, marketing material or other material, nor do we maintain a mailing list. It is exhausting enough just writing this blog.
Cookies
Cookies are said to be files with small amounts of data, which may include an anonymous unique identifier, but we suspect them of being not as innocuous as their promoters may say. Cookies are sent to your browser from a web site and stored on your computer's hard drive. Unlike many sites, we do not use "cookies" to collect information. The French Genealogy Blog considers cookies to be vile and deserving of a Papal anathema; we recommend that you clear your cache of them and your browser history regularly.
Security
The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Please know that, if you choose to give us your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. We recommend that you always give out the minimum amount of personal information possible, create a separate e-mail to use only for genealogy and that does not identify you personally, trust no one.
