You get my upvote, I recently published animated versions of kaomoji in a 2 month sprint to learn how to create a basic Swift app, find someone to help me make the animations, and so forth (https://www.kaomotion.com). This could've certainly helped me with some of my research and creation of my own designs. I like how you deconstructed their sections. ( ಠ_ರೃ)

Get in touch with me at simon at iubenda.com, I'm looking forward to talk to you
Hi guys, part of iubenda here. First, we know we have to work on driving a couple of points home.
There's a free, yearly or monthly subscription. The subscriptions really just divide a bigger chunk of money into smaller very affordable bits.
If you need the basic, free bit, perfect. Otherwise the SaaS system is in place for us to deliver a sophisticated service at very little up front cost. If you keep using it you get the updates pushed right to your app. The license can be reused on new projects, too.
Hm I think most would agree with a statement like this. On the other hand I think it's important for privacy laws to be in place. We all know how regulations are lagging years behind, so theoretically, this is just the beginning.
In the meantime it's important to comply with it with the simplest means possible imo. That's what we're trying to help with.
It's even more important to not introduce privacy laws that are misleading and give a false sense of security, thus averting public from the core problem.
If you can be tracked you will be tracked, eventually but almost inevitably. The law could be used to provide some remedy for damages caused by tracking, but it should be introduced only after core problem with tracking (browsers willingly tag users for indefinite time with invisible tokens, in an quite stealthy manner) is solved.
Hard to argue with that @drdaeman. Let's say in an ideal world I'd agree with every last thing you said. Again, it sure isn't perfect, it may be a start. Worse than no developments at all? We're doing our job at iubenda to help developers/website operators to keep up with the developments that are out there right now.
I've suggested in the post that something along the lines "we do not react to Do Not Track signals" may be a start. It's hard to tell what will be a standard down the road. If you do honor those signals though, a more thorough description will be in order.
Also note that (6) sets out slightly stricter standards regarding disclosure:
(6) Disclose whether other parties may collect personally identifiable information about an individual consumer’s online activities over time and across different Web sites when a consumer uses the operator’s Web site or service.
The underlying logic is the following "An operator of a commercial Web site or online service that collects personally identifiable information through the Internet about individual consumers residing in California who use or visit its commercial Web site or online service shall conspicuously post its privacy policy on its Web site". Basically what states/legislations are doing is protecting their citizens, therefore reversing that logic. So in theory I'd say yes.
Basically, commercial online services (which includes mobile apps) need to add a sentence/paragraph about how they are handling the Do Not Track header requests. This is a California OPPA amendment starting today.
We/iubenda is giving away a special discount to those affected in California, which most of you may be.
Honest question: How does one send a Do Not Track header request to a mobile app? One does not interact with a mobile app via HTTP (although the app may use HTTP internally) and can therefore not send HTTP headers...
Or, is it in your opinion, a law written by someone who does not have sufficient technical understanding to find the correct wording, and now the law applies erroneously applies to mobile apps?
I'm not sure I'm following entirely. I agree that whoever wants to cheat can cheat and deceive their users about the fact that he/she is using personal data in a way that is contrary to privacy laws. That doesn't mean you should not inform users in a proper/legally compliant way, does it?
Most statements of 'privacy policy' ate usually statements of anti-privacy or retention and sharing policy. A true statement of privacy would demonstrate that no information is recorded in a durable manner and that no information is available for third party inspection. Privacy has a concrete meaning.
This is a small awareness minisite that we built to educate visitors in the simplest possible way about what behavior usually requires you to maintain a privacy policy on your site (and how we can help fixing that gap).
Why do I need a privacy policy for a personal website using basic Google analytics? (That's what your minisite suggests.) I don't have customers, only visitors, there is no contract.
Secondly GA collects personal data from your users which in most legislations means that you need to inform users about that fact (most notoriously Europe).
