A recent Twitter conversation between @beaker & @alexhutton inspired including this policy created by @tynan_on_tech.<\/p>\n

“We value your privacy a great deal. Almost as much as we value the ability to take the data you give us and slice, dice, julienne, mash, puree and serve it to our business partners, which may include third-party advertising networks, data brokers, networks of affiliate sites, parent companies, subsidiaries, and other entities, none of which we\u2019ll bother to list here because they can change from week to week and, besides, we know you\u2019re not really paying attention.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll also share all of this information with the government. We\u2019re just suckers for guys with crew cuts carrying subpoenas.<\/p>\n

Remember, when you visit our Web site, our Web site is also visiting you. And we\u2019ve brought a dozen or more friends with us, depending on how many ad networks and third-party data services we use. We\u2019re not going to tell which ones, though you could probably figure this out by carefully watching the different URLs that flash across the bottom of your browser as each page loads or when you mouse over various bits. It\u2019s not like you\u2019ve got better things to do.<\/p>\n

Each of these sites may leave behind a little gift known as a cookie — a text file filled with inscrutable gibberish that allows various computers around the globe to identify you, including your preferences, browser settings, which parts of the site you visited, which ads you clicked on, and whether you actually purchased something.<\/p>\n

Those same cookies may let our advertising and data broker partners track you across every other site you visit, then dump all of your information into a huge database attached to a unique ID number, which they may sell ad infinitum without ever notifying you or asking for permission.<\/p>\n

Also: We collect your IP address, which might change every time you log on but probably doesn\u2019t. At the very least, your IP address tells us the name of your ISP and the city where you live; with a legal court order, it can also give us your name and billing address (see guys with crew cuts and subpoenas, above).<\/p>\n

Besides your IP, we record some specifics about your operating system and browser. Amazingly, this information (known as your user agent string<\/a>) can be enough to narrow you down to one of a few hundred people on the Webbernets, all by its lonesome. Isn\u2019t technology wonderful?<\/p>\n

The data we collect is strictly anonymous, unless you\u2019ve been kind enough to give us your name, email address, or other identifying information. And even if you have been that kind, we promise we won\u2019t sell that information to anyone else, unless of course our impossibly obtuse privacy policy says otherwise and\/or we change our minds tomorrow. <\/p>\n

We store this information an indefinite amount of time for reasons even we don\u2019t fully understand. And when we do eventually get around to deleting it, you can bet it\u2019s still kicking around on some network backup drives in somebody\u2019s closet. So once we have it, there\u2019s really no getting it back. Hell, we can\u2019t even find our keys half the time — how do you expect us to keep track of this stuff?<\/p>\n

Not to worry, though, because we use the very bestest security measures to protect your data against hackers and identity thieves, though no one has actually ever bothered to verify this. You\u2019ll pretty much just have to take our word for it<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So just to recap: Your information is extremely valuable to us. Our business model would totally collapse without it. No IPO, no stock options; all those 80-hour weeks and bupkis to show for it. So we\u2019ll do our very best to use it in as many potentially profitable ways as we can conjure, over and over, while attempting to convince you there\u2019s nothing to worry about.<\/p>\n

(Hey, Did somebody hold a gun to your head and force you to visit this site? No, they did not. Did you run into a pay wall on the home page demanding your Visa number? No, you did not. You think we just give all this stuff away because we\u2019re nice guys?  Bet you also think every roomful of manure has a pony buried inside.)<\/p>\n

This privacy policy may change at any time. In fact, it\u2019s changed three times since we first started typing this. Good luck figuring out how, because we\u2019re sure as hell not going to tell you. But then, you probably stopped reading after paragraph three.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
