poliARC.com is a website that is on the Internet. The Internet is vast. (No really, it’s huge.) And the Internet can often make mistakes. Honestly, this privacy statement is here mostly because we run ads in the poliBLOG:  people will take goofy photos of themselves and post them to facebook all day long, but tend to get riled up when they discover Google placed a cookie in their browser. Go figure. We’re strange creatures, which is why poliARC likes to study us.

Note on images: images get shared and put into posts – it’s the Internet. It happens. If you find one of your images posted here, don’t cause a ruckus and be mean about it by threatening to sue poliARC – just calmly go to the contact page and send us a polite email. We’ll take it down or make sure it’s properly credited; whichever you prefer.

Spam is deleted. Spam is annoying. It’s even more annoying when it’s email, so please, if you’re a spammer, find a better way to use the precious seconds of your life before they expire.

… seriously, spammers are evil. If you are one: may Karma turn you into one of those Japanese mud fish in your next life.
