What changed and why?

Nothing changed, really. /u/Polsaker was looking at it and noticed that it was complete nonsense. We made a placeholder policy two years ago when the site wasn't even called Phuks, and it was kind of forgotten about because the only focus was on the TOS. I've actually opened the privacy policy page a few times and never made it past the third line because it was so boring, but it did have stuff in there that does not even remotely apply to the site.

So basically, this is privacy policy v1.0. Nothing has changed, there are no things we added that infringed upon the old policy, it's just we didn't really have a relevant policy to begin with. As a side note, if there are any questions you have or suggestions relating to the privacy policy, now is probably a good time.

I actually read it when I signed up. Top to bottom. It was just a cookie-cutter "cover all your bases, even the ones you don't have" statement that every small site seems to have. Didn't even seem that strange besides mentions of saving data for use in the "shopping cart" and such.

We didn't write the shopping cart bit, that was just pasted from somewhere. I believe it was left in there because we thought about having an onsite store at one point.

I figured as much. Doesn't make much sense to spend time or money to draft something that can just as easily be adapted from any of 1000 other sites.

Also since you seem to know what's up, I'm curious which user actually runs this place? I've seen admins, but no clear boss. Any chance that's what "space lawyer" means?

We have 6 admins, Bretodeau is my admin account. Pembo, Polsaker, jidlaph, Boukert and TheRedArmy are also admins, though their actual admin accounts have different names, with the exception of Polsaker. Pembo and Polsaker do all the dev stuff, and pembo owns the site/is in charge of funds.

The space lawyer thing is a kind of inside joke. It started on Voat after I made some posts on /v/ModernPowers that went into a ridiculous amount of depth concerning the intricacies of space law. For some reason I am now asked about all the legal stuff on Phuks even though I have almost no experience with any legal stuff, apart from studying it in college for a while.

Well, it's not a single person doing it, I am in charge of development and keeping the site running while pembo is in charge of the monies. I own the domains and pembo everything else and Boukert is in charge of all the community stuff.
