At the present time, this site--by running code that I have developed and acquired--does not collect any personally identifiable information about the web site visitor. The Coppermine gallery accumulates view statistics, but these are counts of image views and nothing more.
The WordPress blog also does not collect personally identifiable information except when a WordPress post is replied to. I see names and email addresses for all replies, but be assured that I will never use any of this data in any way. (I don't care who replies to the posts and consider those who do reply to be talking to the other members of the community of readers. HOWEVER, I cannot guarantee that all replies will remain private: PowWeb, the web hosting corporation, may be required to make persons known for legal or other reasons; or the website may be hacked and the information distributed by these persons.)
PowWeb does accumulate a minimum amount of hit statistics and the source of search engine queries, but this does not indicate anything about the person initiating the search query. Hit statistics are made available to me monthly and the latest month of data follows. Also provided by PowWeb are charts indicating the same type of information for the past year(s). PowWeb has a privacy policy located here.
