Hello, my name is Paul Clarke and I run the website. I thought you might like to know about our privacy policy. Gary is in the speaking, training and consulting business and uses the internet as a tool to connect with past and future clients, program participants, peers and Encore! Encore! staff. Gary is not in the business of collecting and selling lists of names and e-mail addresses. We do not collect personally identifiable information about visitors to the Encore! Encore! site, and will not, at any time, begin that practice. 

You should know that almost all internet traffic is recorded by someone, typically by the company that hosts the site. Our service provider collects the domain from which you are logged in.  Knowing where our visitors are from and what they are searching for is helpful to us as we continue to upgrade the site. Like I said, every site does or has the capacity to do this, but not everyone is up front about it.

Many companies fail to tell you what information is being collected, and reserve the right to change their practices, after they have your personal data, and after you have the chance to opt out. I want you to know that we do not, and will not, collect personally identifiable information about you unless you choose to send it to us. Period.

If you have any questions about this policy, please send me a message at:
