What's this site's privacy policy?

Privacy policy?! Privacy on the Internet?!?!

The year is 2000-and-what? We're way past 1984 if that hasn't dawned on you. Big brother is here -- and you're just wrong if you're not bitching about it constantly to your gov't representitives.

The fact is that many governments monitor the Internet. Just what we know publicly about the US government's monitoring of the Internet should make your toes curl and renders this site's privacy policy as next to worthless.

But hey, I'll answer the question.

Here's the deal:

We need you to use cookies for login/customization purposes. Those cookies do not get sent to third parties, nor are they used by us to track your movements on the Internet nor to otherwise violate your privacy.

Any personal information stays with debianHELP and only debianHELP -- we don't sell or give away information on you.

If police show up and want information on you from this web site I will politely tell them to go piss up a rope and refuse to provide any information. I'll continue to tell them to piss up a rope right up to the time that they produce a valid court order. They'll then get your information because I'm not about to go to jail for you.

But be advised: If you post messages into the Imported debian.org Mailing Lists forums, that message will be sent out to the mailing list using the "from" address for the e-mail as the same e-mail address as you used on the web site here.
