roddy Posted March 18, 2009 at 04:12 PM Report Posted March 18, 2009 at 04:12 PM Due to stuff you can read about here, we need a privacy policy. As all I could come up with was 'Won't sell your email addresses, promise' I found one on the Internet. Sticking it up here for comments before making it official. For reference, the Adsense ads aren't shown to logged-in users currently. Privacy Policy for Chinese-forums.com The privacy of our visitors to Chinese-forums.com is important to us.

roddy Posted March 19, 2009 at 12:59 AM Author Report Posted March 19, 2009 at 12:59 AM I figured that was covered by 'personal information' but I've specified it now to make it clear. Quote
