Privacy Policy
- Thorn Valley maintainers may collect anonymous usage statistics and logs for system administration and demographic purposes for the intent of providing better service. In practice, I (Simon) only pay attention to how much monthly bandwidth the site is using; I don't really care about how individual users use the site.
- To the best of my (Simon's) knowledge, Thorn Valley does not store cookies or collect personally-identifiable information, and does not transmit information to third-parties.
- Thorn Valley is expressly anti-spam. We will not send unsolicited bulk email to any email addresses we collect, nor will we sell these addresses to any third parties.
- Any information or comments freely given or posted on the forum is the property and responsibility of its author. Thorn Valley maintainers cannot be held responsible for their content or any subsequent violations of privacy due to their content. (For example, if you post your phone number, you cannot hold Thorn Valley maintainers responsible for any calls you may receive.) We reserve the right to delete or block any postings, and the authors of any content may request its removal.
