  1. title: NetNewsWire Privacy Policy

  4. <p>I’ve been working on the <a href="http://ranchero.com/netnewswire/privacypolicy">NetNewsWire privacy policy</a>, which I realized I needed as I was working on crash log collecting.</p>
  5. <p>If you have questions, feedback, or suggestions, please let me know.</p>
  6. <p>The gist is pretty simple: I really, really, really do not want anybody’s information. It’s not interesting or useful to me, and managing it is a burden I don’t want. Most importantly: I believe strongly in not just a decentralized web but a web where privacy is respected.</p>
  7. <p>That said, I do have webserver logs (which, frankly, I complete ignore — I don’t even look at the stats, though that could change), and I collect crash logs when the user opts in, because making sure that the app doesn’t crash is job one.</p>
  8. <p>* * *</p>
  9. <p>My favorite line of the privacy policy:</p>
  10. <blockquote>
  11. <p>Neither ranchero.com nor inessential.com use any cookies or JavaScript, and they do not display any ads.</p>
  12. </blockquote>
  13. <p>I wish there were a clever marketing name for no-cookies/no-JavaScript sites. It should be a trend.</p>
  14. <p>While the industry is focused on SSL everywhere, we’re not looking at the other half of surveillance tech.</p>
