As you may have noticed on the first page of my blog you get to put your email address and subscribe to get posts by email. Or if you are a WordPress user you see a “follow” button which gets my posts delivered straight to your mail box.
I would like to assure you that I don’t see these email addresses at all. This blog is hosted by WordPress.com and it is governed by their privacy policy http://en.support.wordpress.com/private-user-data/. When you enter your email address to follow my blog it doesn’t come to me but it is fully managed by WordPress.com
You will also notice that on the “contact me” page I ask for your email address. Unlike when you follow my blog, this actually sends your email address to me. I will only use this email address to reply you back. I will not share your email address, add you to a distribution list nor send you unsolicited messages.
