Summary

I created this site, in large part, to escape the gross disregard of user privacy exhibited by the large companies that dominate the modern web. I wanted to maintain the privacy and control of my email and other web services. I wanted to retain the ownership, rights and privileges to my photos, videos and other content. I wanted to be able to share content without exposing my friends, family and associates to broad violations of privacy and the very real dangers that come with it. With these goals in mind, I collect and/or store only the bare minimum of data necessary to make the site function.
