This statement sets out my policies relating to the privacy of your personal information: Very briefly, this web site is operated in compliance with the Australian Government's Information Privacy Principles which are outlined at http://www.privacy.gov.au My web site collects the following information from my online visitors: A record of each visit that logs a visitor's IP address, the date and time of their visit, pages accessed and/or documents downloaded, country of origin and the type of browser used (this is the same type of information routinely collected by all web servers around the world). No attempt is or will be made to identify individual users or their browsing activities except in the highly unlikely event of an investigation where a law enforcement agency may exercise a warrant to inspect my service provider's logs. I analyse the information collected by my web server at the end of each month purely to determine my web site's overall usage statistics. I retain the e-mail addresses of people who send emails to me through this web site for the simple purpose of sending them a response. These email addresses are stored in a secure area of my computer's hard drive (ie not on the website) and will not be used for any other purpose. Nor will they be disclosed to any third party without the consent of the person who originally emailed me. People who submit email addresses, web sites or other information for registration on this web site are agreeing to have them published on my web site by doing so. I will, however, remove or modify any submitted email address, web site URL or other supplied information on request. Please note that this web site contains links to a number of other web sites that are included on the basis of containing content related to my own site's operations and/or as a service to my online visitors. When you click on a link to go to another site, you leave my own web site and are no longer protected by my Privacy Policy. This privacy statement is periodically reviewed in line with the ongoing development of my web site and/or changes to Australian privacy laws.

This statement sets out my policies relating to spam (ie unsolicited commercial email): This web site is operated in compliance with the Australian Spam Act 2003, which may be viewed online at a variety of locations (just search Google for the Act's name). In a nutshell, I don't send out any spam emails. Nor do I do business with any individual or company which does. And I'd encourage all my visitors to do likewise. I also use anti-spam filtering on my emails and I report any Australian who spams me to the proper authorities on receipt of their spam. Again, I encourage my visitors to do likewise in countries which have equivalent legislation to Australia. Or to request that their legislators enact similar anti-spam legislation to Australia's in countries which don't yet have anti-spam laws; or to toughen existing laws up to Australian anti-spam standards where existing laws are weak.

The information presented on my web site is the result of personal, original effort by me and I retain the copyright on all information and graphical materials shown here. You can only reproduce materials shown on this website if you receive my written permission to do so. I try to keep my web site current at all times but there may be occasions when some part of it is out of date (for example, a painting may be listed as available for sale when - in fact - it's already been sold). In such instances I'll advise any enquirer of this fact at the first opportunity and I'll remedy any inaccurate information as quickly as possible after that. If you believe you've discovered an existing error that I should remedy, please email me about it.
