Terms & Conditions

Terms & Conditions:  Don't hack my website, because I don't know enough code to hack yours in revenge.  Be nice, or at least respectful, to everyone who crosses your path. Stop looking at computer screens all the time and try to take a walk in the sun at least a few times a week.  Really - why are you here reading my terms & conditions when you could be doing something far more joyful and useful with your life?

This website is for the personal and professional use of Celeste Diaz Ferraro. I don't collect any personal information about YOU on this site, however, I do use Google Analytics to track the location and time that visitors arrive at my site, because I'm just darned curious who is interested in my work and who might be checking up on me. To the best of my knowledge, no other information beyond that is tracked, but I am not a Google genius so if they are collecting other information, I really wouldn't know. Google says they try not to be evil, but heck, they're a huge commercial entity making billions of dollars a year, so they are probably doing something I wouldn't approve of anyway.  But how are we going to live without them at this point?   I don't archive or store any information that might be collected via Google. Blame them if you are creeped out by surveillance. If you would like MY personal information, please feel free to contact me via any of the mechanisms in the contact section, and I would be happy to share it with you.  You can also download a copy of my CV and get it there as well.  Have a great day!
