Below you will find my detailed privacy policy for Papyr.com, Rhetory.com, myWritingCourse.com, myHyperTextBooks.com, and SteadyTruth.com, with technical information about P3P implementation in the several user agents .

Users may go to https://papyr.com/hypertextbooks/htblogin.htm for information on how to opt-in or opt-out of use of their information.
