The Garden Loaf Privacy Policy
Not the most exciting page, I know. But I earnestly care that you know about how your data will be protected. As someone who has been the victim of identity theft (right before Christmas AND my husband being in a vehicle collision in an intersection!) I want you to know that I care about you and your information.
