USA Patriot Act
On December 13th 2003 US President George W. Bush signed into law portions of the expanded USA Patriot Act (Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2004). The Act included a simple, yet insidious, redefinition of "financial institution," which previously referred to banks, but now includes stockbrokers, car dealerships, casinos, credit card companies, insurance agencies, jewelers, airlines, the U.S. Post Office, and any other business "whose cash transactions have a high degree of usefulness in criminal, tax, or regulatory matters."
In other words...
........even though I claim that you have privacy, the US Federal government can demand that I supply your information to them at any time, without a warrant, and that I cannot tell you or I will face criminal prosecution (yes, those are really the rules).
Actually, if you read the law you have no privacy.
I just wanted to make sure that you were aware of it and that I have no control over it at all.
But besides that,
I will continue to do all I can to protect your privacy in every other way. I will not spam you or give anyone else the means to spam you. I will not sell or otherwise share your information with anyone. Ever. I will not fuck with your information. I will not use your information for anything other than this webstore. The end.
