PRIVACY AND CONTENT STATEMENT

This Page Last Updated:  January 5, 2006


We will never sell your name and/or e-mail address or give them to any individual, group, or company.  Period.  No salesman or sponsor will reach you when you contact us via the Internet.

If you do request to be contacted and we cannot answer your question(s) ourselves, we will forward your e-mail to specific person(s) in the Phoenix Bonsai Society ONLY.  For contacts outside of the club, you will be sent either a web address or phone number for you to then follow up with.

We do not use cookies or any other means to keep track of or find out about specific visitors to our site.

Our statistics gathered via the LinkExchange Visitior Counter and Webtrends Analysis Reports are nonpersonal counts and pages visited only.  We do not have any way of contacting or tracking specific visitors unless either they give us a name on an e-mail which they send us or they download and then mail to us one of the two order blanks currently on this site.

You will be included on the mailing list for our semi-annual newsletter, Fujii Notes, only if you specifically request to be.

If you contact one of our sources or visit one of the links from our site, you will be directly dealing with that group.

We do not necessarily recommend or promote any of the advertisers who appear at the top of the Site Search Engine Results Page(s).

If you ever have an unpleasant experience dealing with one of our sources or other links, please let us know so we can investigate. 

We will always ask for your permission to reprint or quote from e-mail correspondence which you send us should we wish to include your thoughts on one or more of our pages.

This site will not knowingly include any text and/or graphics or link to any site which features nudity, violence, disrespect for humans or other life forms, sexual content, drug use, or other unlawful or "Adult Only" activity. 

Any historical material directly quoted which is detemined to imply any of the above will be indicated with "[sic]" following the mention.  This is standard academic shorthand for "believe or not, that's what it actually says" (definition courtesy of the late Alan Watts).  So far, we have not had to edit out any offending text or graphics from historical material.

In the Boldly Grow sections which list TV, film, and video game protrayals of bonsai and the related arts, adult or otherwise non-child-appropriate listings which we are aware of will always be marked with a note in bold reddish print warning viewers that there is non-family content elsewhere in the show or episode.

This web site has a fine reputation to maintain as a respected and multi-cultural educational site.  We will do everything we can to so maintain that.  If you ever feel that there is inappropriate material here, please contact us at rjb@phoenixbonsai.com.

Thank you.
