By visiting this site, you probably expect some level of privacy. That’s adorable. Unfortunately, we live in a world where your data is basically currency, and everyone is stuck playing the game. So here’s the deal:
1. What this Site Collects
Here’s what’s being hoovered up when you visit this site:
- Google Fonts & Other Third-Party Spyware – This site uses Google Fonts because, well, they look nice. But Google, being Google, probably sees this as an opportunity to track you. If that bothers you, maybe try reading websites through an abacus or with a browser that gives you some extra controls over how sites track you.
- Cookies & Tracking – No, not the tasty kind. More like the “track you across the internet and build a profile about your browsing habits” kind. This site may use cookies for functionality, analytics, or just because modern websites are bloated messes that require them to work. The robots already know your browsing history–yes your data to train an AI model that is probably judging you right this moment.
- Basic Interaction Data – If you use a contact form or leave a comment, congratulations! You’ve given us your email or other information. Will do the best not to lose it or accidentally sell it (not that anyone’s offering to buy it, tbh).
2. How Your Data is Used
The limited data gathered here is used for things like:
- Keeping the site running
- Making things look pretty with Google Fonts while Google laughs at us all
- Responding to your messages, if applicable
- Occasionally checking analytics to see if anyone actually visits this site
3. Who Else Gets Your Data?
Oh, the usual suspects:
- Google – Because they own the internet.
- Possibly Other Third-Party Services – If we ever use plugins, embeds, or analytics tools, assume that your data is passing through more hands than a hot potato at a summer camp.
4. Your (Theoretical) Rights
Depending on where you live, you might have the right to:
- Ask what data we have on you (spoiler: probably not much)
- Request we delete it (assuming it’s even within our control)
- Complain to someone about it (good luck with that)
If you have concerns about your privacy, consider:
- Using a VPN (or a tinfoil hat, your call)
- Disabling cookies (good luck making anything work)
- Moving to a remote cabin in the woods
- Electing folks who give a rip about your data privacy. Did you know Europeans have had comprehensive General Data Privacy Rights (GDPR) since 2016 and can demand their data be removed by any entity at any time and must be able to provably pass a data audit that this has been done (you can say “Fuck you, Mark Zuckerberg!” and he actually has to fuck off. Wouldn’t that be nice in America?)
- This site is hosted in The Netherlands but does happen to have a primarily English / American audience. Fuck censorship!
5. Security (or Lack Thereof)
We do our best to keep your data safe, but let’s be honest: if major banks and governments get hacked, what makes you think a small website like this stands a chance? If you share sensitive information online, you’re basically shouting it into the digital void.
7. Changes to This Policy
If this policy is ever updated you won’t be notified, so check back here EVERY TIME you visit the site to see if anything has changed, (lol).
8. Contacting Us
If you have questions, complaints, or just want to rant about surveillance capitalism, you can contact us here. But let’s be real—you know as well as we do that probably nothing will change.
