Disclaimer:

This site offers thought-provoking edu-tainment based on our life experiences and what information you, our dear readers, care to share with us. This website contains our comments on real situations by real people but the comments are directed at all of our readers, not just one person.

You may know someone who has the issue you’re reading about, or a similar one. We welcome your comments on every post and we would love to hear from you so please send your questions.

Q&A Privacy:

Leather and Lace are Alison Blackman and Tony Sabatini. We are real people, not avatars or ghost writers for a company. We believe in protecting your privacy as we would wish others protect ours. We stake our sterling reputations on this. We will never broadcast personal information, or sell or share it with anyone. We are careful about the advertisers we work with, and expect them to respect and operate within our policies. This is our personal pledge to you.

We endeavor to keep your information private. We will do our very best to protect you, but we can’t guarantee that issues on the net aren’t going to arise that impact the public (you already know this is a possibility when you are online). If you publish a comment and want to remain anonymous, you can do so, but it is still possible that someone might think (or guess) the comment came from you. The same is true for our Q&A.

We will radically change details so that no one can identify the sender (the focus of the main issue remains the same) but despite these efforts, it is possible that someone might think a letter we feature pertains to you or is from you. We can’t get inside people’s minds and make them think one way or another, and we aren’t responsible for that. We don’t publish letters directly, but edit them and add information for clarity to give a basis for our advice.

You can always point out, justifiably to anyone, that no letter on leatherandlaceadvice.com could be your letter because, by these points, it isn’t.
