Introduction
As a reader of many other sites, I understand how important privacy, is especially in this day and age.
I want to ensure that my readers feel as safe as possible. The information below is full disclosure on what happens on Bisenews.com (a.k.a the Site).
Rest assured that I will never share your information or email with anyone else.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By visiting and using the Site, you agree that your use of the Site, and any dispute over privacy, is governed by this Privacy Policy. Because the Web is ever evolving, I may need to change our Privacy Policy at some point in the future. In that case I’ll post the changes to this Privacy Policy on the Site. At the same time, I will pdate the Effective Date of the policy to reflect the date of the changes. By continuing to use the Site after I post any such changes, you accept the Privacy Policy as modified. If you have any questions or concerns regarding my privacy policy please use our contact form here.

Google Site Stats
To measure performance, Google uses small strings of text (known as cookies) that are placed on your computer when you click on ads. Cookies typically remain active on your computer for about 30 days. If you visit certain pages of the advertiser’s website during that period, Google and the advertiser will be able to tell that you saw the ad delivered by Google. You can read more about Google Site Stats here.
How Do We Store Your Information?
Your information is stored on a list server (i.e. Drip) that delivers my content and messaging. Your information can only be accessed by those who help manage those lists to deliver e-mail to those who agree to receive my material.
All of the messaging or emails that are sent to you by me include an unsubscribe link in them. You can remove yourself at any time from the mailing list. This can be done by clicking on the unsubscribe link that is found in every communication that I send you.
General Data Privacy Regulation (GDPR)
The GDPR takes effect on May 25, 2018. It is intended to protect the data of European Union (EU) citizens. Bisenews markets its site, content, products and/or services online but I do not specifically target marketing to the EU or conduct business in or to the EU in any meaningful way. If the data that you provide to me in the course of your use of the Site, content, products and/or services is governed by GDPR, Bisenews will abide by the relevant portions of the Regulation.
If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA) or are accessing this site from within the EEA, you may have the right to request: access to, correction of, deletion of; portability of; and restriction or objection to processing, of your personal data. This includes the “right to be forgotten.”

Affiliate Disclosure
“Bisenews.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.com, amazonsupply.com, or myhabit.com.”
Unfortunately, that’s some jargon that I had to include in my policy. Let me speak in plain English from here on:
Currently I’m an affiliate with Amazon and a publisher in the Google Adsense program. You may see some of the advertisements on the site. Some of the links in my articles or on the resources page are affiliate links. That just means that I’ll collect a small percentage of the sale as commission.
The reason that these are in place is because the small commissions add up. They cover the costs to run the site and help me feed my family. At the same time, I believe they are not overly intrusive to my audience’s experience and learning on the site.
These commissions will never come at a cost to yourself. And I vow that whether a particular product offers a commission or not, it will never influence my recommendations or teaching material. I know that trust takes a lifetime to build but only seconds to lose. You can rest assured that I only link to products which I have used personally. I only link to a product if I recommend it, as a teacher, to my audience for the purpose of learning, building or marketing iOS apps.
With that said, I’d like to sincerely thank you and my readers.
