Okeydokey folks, I have just titivated my Privacy Policy to suit (I hope) these confounded changes. It's probably a great idea I did that anyway as I noted quite a few other changes necessary.

In the confusion of getting this page done at the beginning of bootcamp I neglected to change certain words. Words such as going from we to I, our to my etc. After all I am not a two person website nor a company. Well I used Kyle's template, changed all that and modified it to suit me. (Oh and my site.)

I also on the advice of others who posted here gone to google A and left the 26 week retention as is.

To help out any people that haven't done the page changes yet, here is mine to give you a helping guide. So I hope it helps you.

By the way, please let me know if I stuffed up anywhere!
