Our privacy policy has been updated

posted by Bretodeau on announcements

You can see it here.

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.

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?

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.

In that case, thank you for putting this place together! Considering that this site is so similar to voat, I'm impressed that the software seems to run much more smoothy. Phuks is a fork from voat's code, correct?

Nope, it was written from the ground up in Python (Voat's written in C# IIRC)

Well hot damn, that explains why this site doesn't suck! I really don't know what they were thinking when they wrote voat. I don't pretend to know anything about writing code, but even I've picked up that C languages aren't exactly friendly to growth.

Anyway, thanks for answering my questions :)
