At Sweet Home of Mine I respect my guests and understand that you are concerned about privacy. Therefore, I have posted this Privacy Policy to let you know what kind of information I collect, how it is handled, and with whom it may be shared.
This Privacy Policy may change as I continue to develop my websites, mobile applications and online services or programs (collectively “websites”), so I encourage you to refer to this Policy on an ongoing basis, so that you understand my current Privacy Policy.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
