Our Privacy and Other Policies
We're rabid about privacy. We hate it when people violate our privacy, and as
a result, we wouldn't dream of violating yours.
To that end, we promise that:
We don't use cookies. Not now. Not ever.
We don't collect or save any information about our visitors that can be
connected to a specific person, except for those people who subscribe to our
mailing lists
or our
Introduction to Sourdough
pamphlets.
Beyond our privacy policies:
We're child and family friendly. We carefully monitor our content and our
links to assure that neither are offensive. We screen our advertisers (if any)
to make sure they are child and family friendly as well. (However, we can not
follow all their links, nor do we have control over their privacy policies.)
We only discriminate against rude people. And as soon as they stop being rude,
we stop discriminating against them.
Deep linking:
Sure. Go ahead and do it. Our policy is to avoid changing our file names. In
those cases where we feel it necessary, we leave the old file in place as a
redirector to the new one, so your viewers will still see something. Feel free
to save pointers to your favorite recipes here. We'll try real hard (with no
promises) to keep them around as long as we're on the Internet.
Copyright issues:
We take copyrights seriously. All the material on the Sourdough Home web page
is copyrighted by the owner of the site, Mike Avery. We hope you will use our
material to further your baking endeavors. However, if you want to use it for
anything other than your own baking, please send me a note through our
"Contact Us"
page. Permission will be routinely granted for non-commercial, credited, use
of our material.
Some of the recipes on this site have been modified from other published works.
In all cases, we have given credit where credit is due and encourage our
readers to purchase these wonderful resources. We believe our use of these
materials falls into the category of "fair use." If you are the copyright
holder of these materials and you do not agree, please drop us an email through
our
"Contact Us"
page and we will stop using your material at once. (Even if it's obvious that
you
don't know what the phrase "fair use" means, as has happened with the attorney
for a famous French bakery who insisted we remove all references to that bakery
from our site. So, they lost the pointers that helped publicise their bakery
too. Be careful what you wish for, as my mom used to tell me.)
