LEGALESE

TL:DR;

• I don't track you, that's creepy
• I don't harvest your info, that's also creepy
• Don't steal my stuff
• Don't be a dick
• My thoughts are my own, etc

TRACKING? YEAH, NAH

One of the things I really hate about today's internet is all the creepy tracking, so we're not doing that here.

This site is built using PureBlog, which is free, open-source software that has no creepy tracking built in. Zero. Zilch. None. No page views, no IP addresses, no analytics, nothing. The only time you ever have to give me your information is if you choose to leave a comment.

Comments are powered by PureComments, which is also free, open-source software without creepy tracking built in. The brains behind both of these is Kev Quirk. Any stuff ups in deploying them are my own.

The comment form requires a name, and a comment. That's it. You can put whatever name you want. You can leave the email field blank. You can leave the website field blank. Things to know:

• If you provide your website, this is published alongside your comment. Ergo it will be linked to the name you've put in.
• If you provide your email, this is not published. It's encrypted in the database too.

The only thing your email would ever be used for is notifying you that someone has replied to your comment but I don't have email notifications set up yet, so you won't get any. If this changes, I'll update this.

G-D-P-R (TO THE TUNE OF YMCA)

See above. There's no creepy tracking, no data grabbing or hoarding happening here. I'm also pretty keen not to have my own info stolen, so I have things pretty locked down around here. There's not much of your data to be breached (yay). But you can ask for it to be removed.

If you ever want a comment removed or have any questions about privacy, data or any of that, just drop me a line at fungi @ mushroomsin dot space and I'll delete your comment (FYI, I like to be offline a lot, so I can't guarantee an immediate response, but it will be as soon as I pick up the request).

ANZAC COOKIES ARE REALLY GOOD THOUGH

There's no cookie banner because there's no cookies, so here's a really good recipe for Anzac cookies instead. Seriously. They're delicious.

ASSHOLE IS AS ASSHOLE DOES

This is my personal site. What I say goes around here, and I say don't be a dick, and be excellent to each other. I have about as much tolerance for assholes, spam and abuse as I do for creepy tracking, which is none.

DON'T STEAL MY STUFF

Everything on this site is copryight to yours truly, unless otherwise specified. If I've used someone else's stuff, it's in accordance with permission or a licence and with attribution (unless the origin is unknown). I'm happy to correct that if I ever get it wrong. Just drop me a line at fungi @ mushroomsin dot space and I'll sort it.

I don't steal other people's stuff, and I'd really rather they didn't steal mine. I'm fine with links and quotes and whatnot. If you want to point to something of mine, it's not hard to acknowledge me. If you ever want to substantially re-use something of mine, just ask. Once again, the email is fungi @ mushroomsin dot space.

I CAN THINK FOR MYSELF

Yep. I'm not representing anyone else here, just me. My thoughts and opinons expressed here are all my own, and not my employer's, my dog's, or that of a bot. Beep Boop.

If you have actually read all of this, have a cookie. A real one. Maybe one of those Anzac cookies I mentioned earlier. An acceptable alternative is a piece of cheese.
