Privacy Statement

My privacy policy is based on Scott McNealy’s famous quote, “You have zero privacy anyway. Get over it”. I deeply care about your personal information, in a way.

When visiting this website

When you visit it-reporter.com, I shamelessly collect everything I can about you.  I got this huge datawarehouse software thing, and when I find the manual, I’m gonna analyze the hell out of it. Don’t worry, I’ll only use it to tell you when you should pick up your dry cleaning, replace the engine oil in your car, or buy a new mattress, and I can make you some great offers on that too.

When commenting on this website

When you comment on an article, I mercilessly collect even more information about you. Yep, only the sun shines for free, so I basically have no choice but to sell it all out to the highest bidder. I’ll give you a huge discount if you want to buy that info about yourself, though. Yeah, I’m that nice.

When reading the RSS feed

You might feel free to just read my RSS feed somewhere, but even then, I harvest personal information about you. I use it to personalize content when you visit our site, you know, Google-stylie. Actually I might as well just order that new harddisk for you, seeing as that this one’s almost full anyway. So, just relax.

When thinking about the IT reporter website

I’m in this huge mind-control thing with NSA and stuff, so I’m experimenting a bit on the side. Nothing really nasty though. According to reports of survivors, most people only start talking to cucumbers, experience a mild buzzing in the left ear, and laugh incontrolably when seeing Dr. Phil. So that’s nothing really disruptive.

When visiting other websites

In order to keep up my stats, you might feel an inexplainable and unstoppable urge to visit it-reporter.com from time to time.  Again, nothing to panic about, I carefully adjust things so that it only happens when you are visiting that strange fetish website that you really shouldn’t visit anyway. I just know what’s best for you, trust me.
