What Privacy Policies (Really) Want to Say
With user frustration over endlessly changing end user licensing agreements and privacy policies from the likes of Google, Facebook, Apple among others, Skipity, a startup search/discovery engine, spells everything out quite clearly.
Among their 10-point privacy policy:
1. We are the company that cares about your privacy. Specifically, while most other companies are concerned with protecting your privacy, we care about profiteering and violating it when expedient or useful.
2. You may think of using any of our programs or services as the privacy equivalent of living in a webcam fitted glass house under the unblinking eye of Big Brother: you have no privacy with us. If we can use any of your details to legally make a profit, we probably will.
5. If the opportunity arises to sell or otherwise use this or any information, data or meta data about you or your world, we will jump at that opportunity like a pitbull on a fresh steak.
9. Cookies: We like chocolate chip cookies. You agree to furnish any employee or associate of our company with fresh chocolate chip cookies upon request. That’s the price of using our programs and or services (in addition to any other price we come up with).
Always good to know where you stand before using an application or service, no?

- The sunlight coming in through the front door.
Too ... much ... data. Must ... curate ...
