I found a handy site for taking notes, but everything it says about the privacy of this one:

“Anonymous by default, no adverts. We offer a high level of privacy for both writers and readers. You don’t need to create an account to post something. There are no adverts on the entire page and we don’t use any social media scripts. You can rest assured that information about your activity on the site will not be used by advertising companies or social media.”

This is in the “About” section.

There is no information about what information the site collects about the user.

    If the site services the EU and does not have a privacy policy it’s downright illegal according to the GDPR.

    Art. 14 GDPR, “Information to be provided where personal data have not been obtained from the data subject”:

    Where personal data have not been obtained from the data subject, the controller shall provide the data subject with the following information […] the identity and the contact details of the controller […] the purposes of the processing for which the personal data are intended […] where applicable, that the controller intends to transfer personal data to a recipient in a third country or international organisation …

      Is it just me or does this not make sense? It says you must declare the purposes of the processing for which personal data are intended, but this is under the section for when no personal data is collected. How does that work?

          Found someone salty that their site didn’t comply and is big angy about having to clean it up and stop being shady 😏

                To be fair, depending on your interpretation of “shady” I’m pretty sure you can find a lot of laws most people wouldn’t describe someone ignoring to be doing anything shady. ( I think that sentence should make sense)

      That section is only applicable if personal data has been obtained by some means other than from the data subject. If a site doesn’t collect or process any personal information, period, then that section (and the rest of the GDPR) isn’t applicable.
