#privacypolicy — Public Fediverse posts

🧠🤖 Ah yes, Hofstadter’s latest #YouTube TED Talk: because apparently, comparing apples to oranges is now the pinnacle of human intelligence. 🥴🎥 Who knew profound cognitive #insights could be boiled down to video metadata and Google’s privacy policy?

I just read a website's privacy policy prior to making a purchase, and discovered that they quite openly state that they will share or sell my personal information (including contact details) with other businesses for advertizing purposes, and that those unnamed businesses will use said personal information in accordance with their own privacy policies, whatever those may happen to be.

I have emailed the business I actually want to buy from, and asked if an offline transaction is possible, as otherwise, I will be taking my custom elsewhere.

Easier said than done, however, as I am not aware of any other NZ retailer selling a fude nibbed dip pen - or any fude nibbed pen at all, if it comes to that, actual brush tips aside.
