This page covers Birby's Posts' Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, licensing, and some other small details. Now, as a human being who is writing these pages, I despise long, textbook-like walls of text that waste time, so to alleviate that issue here, I will be very simple about these sections and write in a casual tone. It makes both of our lives easier.
As briefly mentioned in this site's footer, Birby's Posts is produced under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International license (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0).

To my understanding, this Creative Commons license basically says that you can reuse the stuff on this site, as long as you credit me, don't make money off of what you do with the reused stuff, and allow others to do the same things with what you made.

This section goes more for the Interstate 16 portion of the site. Birby's Posts is independent and not affiliated with any governmental organization, such as the Georgia Department of Transportation, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, the Federal Highway Administration, or any local governments, such as the City of Savannah, or the City of Macon. This site tries its best to provide a neutral, unbiased display of information. I feel like I should also say that I am a lifetime resident of Savannah, Georgia and that I also do find interest in Interstate 16 and freeway infrastructure, but I also believe that these things should not affect stuff that they don't have to, such as excessively destroying nature, neighborhoods, or historical areas.
As for the Random Ramblings of this site, treat it similarly to a blog - those are all my opinions and arguments, which are not always necessarily based on facts.
Your personal information, such as your name, email address, phone number, and address, is never shared with Birby's Posts, unless the user intended to submit that data. If a user is going to submit data, such as through a Google Form, it will be stated that data will be submitted. Honestly, I don't want others taking my personal data, and likewise, I don't want your personal data.
Your data will also not be sold, if it is collected. Once again, I don't get your data unless you give it, and I will not take that given data and sell it to data brokers or shady people.
This site also creates cookies, but this is due to Google Sites, the website's hosting platform, creating them. These cookies should not affect anything that you do while on this site.
I hope that wasn't a crazy-long read. If you're like me and like a quick summary of something right after you read it to lock that info in, then here you go!
You can share and adapt this site's material, as long as you give credit and allow others to share and adapt your adaptation, all without making money off of it
