Who we are

I’m Ina and my website address is: http://hilldays.com. You can contact me directly at ina@hilldays.com.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on Hill Days, the site collects the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here.
