From Ellen Lindner - I'm fanatical about protecting your privacy.  I never see your financial information, since it is handled entirely offsite, at PayPal's secure online site. 

In order to process your newsletter requests, I need to collect your email address. However, I will never share it. For purchases, I am required by current web standards to collect your contact information. However, I do not save this information! I keep it only long enough to ensure that your order has been processed correctly.

Students enrolled in online classes will be invited to a Yahoo group as our show and tell and discussion forum. (This is optional in most classes.) Participants in that group will find that their email addresses are visible to the other class participants.
