Privacy

Not my web site.

Our privacy policy is one paragraph long. We don't share any information with anybody. And if we can at all help it, we don't collect any identifying information on you whatsoever. In one case we can't help it -- If you actually buy something, you're going to have to admit your name, contact information, and shipping location to us. Other than that, I literally could not give less of a flying fuck.

My analytics are interested in what users are doing in general, not what a particular merely pseudoanonymous individual is doing specifically.

We have a spam... ahem, email marketing list, also. I'm astounded at the proportion of users who deliberately check that check box that says, "Yes, please send me spam." (It's unchecked by default.) The month before last I didn't have anything particularly compelling to market, so I didn't spam anyone on our list.

I realize the way my particular business operates is a minority, but there it is. (Oh, so you have an Etsy shop or something and you're pretending to be Mr. Big Time Businessperson, you say. Er, no. We did $5.4 million in sales last year, a significant portion of which was online.)
