Words By Sam LLC respects your privacy and security.
As much as possible we want to keep you informed about what information we collect and how we use that information.

We use some third party applications and services that may collect user information. In some cases, we are not away of the full scope of this information, but we partner with established and reputed services. Some examples include Google, Facebook, OptinMonster, Pinterest, and our hosting provider. We are active on social media if you follow us on social media the networks’ own privacy policy applies.
