Our privacy policy is that we're in favor of privacy. We make no effort to track or identify anything about visitors to our website. We never share, trade, or sell email addresses. We never send spam. Our site has no pop-up ads. We never send email, except in response to readers' queries. We never send (or open) attachments of any kind. If you see or receive any of the above, it's not from us. It's coming from spyware you picked up elsewhere, or an "exit" pop-up from another site you have visited, or spammers mimicking our email address. We use a freeware hit-counter, and it plants a harmless short-term cookie so visitors aren't counted again if they go to several different Unknown News pages within a short time. Our feelings won't be hurt if you reject the cookie, and you'll still be able to visit any page you wish. Other than that we don't use cookies. If you donate or buy something we'll say thank you, and never bother you again. We do not send any reminders to re-donate or buy more stuff. Incoming emails and orders are deleted within 72 hours, and we keep no records of contact information about anything related to the website, including donors, emailers, or sticker orders. If you use your credit card to donate or buy something, it's processed by PayPal (their privacy policies are here). We do not file or even see your credit card information. We try to avoid linking to sites that require logging in, so if any clicks here ask for registration or a password, please let us know and we'll try to find a not-so-nosey link to similar coverage elsewhere. Nothing at Unknown News bounces, flashes, flickers, sings or speaks, twinkles, or moves. We try to avoid coding practices that intentionally frustrate or annoy readers. You can contact Helen & Harry at <unknownnews at inbox.com>. If that address ever fails, check our contact page for our alternate email addresses. Anything sent to Unknown News may be published. If you don't want it published, say so plainly. When we publish incoming emails, we usually edit out the sender's last name, email address, or anything else that would tend to identify the author in the real world (if we slip up, please let us know). But if your email is unambiguously intended only to annoy, insult, or threaten us, we'll publish it with all the details and leave it on-line forever. |
