PRIVACY: We promise to lose your data responsibly GDPR: We think it's a type of sandwich COOKIES: We eat them, not track with them

🔒 Privacy Policy (Written Under Duress)

We legally have to have one of these. Here's our attempt at pretending we care about your data.

📋 The TL;DR Version

We collect some data. We try not to lose it. We definitely won't sell it to sketchy people (mainly because we don't know any). We use cookies but only the edible kind during our afternoon snack break. If you have concerns, please direct them to our data protection officer (the office plant named Gerald).

Last updated: Whenever we remembered this page existed (probably 2023)

📊 What Data We Collect (And Why)

Data collection
BASIC STUFF

Personal Information

We might collect your name, email, and IP address. Why? Because that's what websites do, apparently. We're not entirely sure what to do with it, but our web developer said it's "standard practice" so here we are.

How we use it: Mostly to figure out if anyone actually reads our articles. Spoiler: The data suggests "not many."

Stored in: A spreadsheet Gary updates when he remembers
Cookie policy
EDIBLE TECHNOLOGY

Cookies (Not The Tracking Kind)

When we said we use cookies, we meant literal cookies. Chocolate chip, usually. Our office has a strict "one cookie per visitor" policy, though since we're a website and not a physical location, this is difficult to enforce.

Digital cookies: We think we have some of those too. They're probably for analytics or something. We clicked "accept all" on Google Analytics and haven't looked back.

Baked fresh: Every Wednesday
Data sharing
THIRD PARTIES

Who We Share Your Data With

The list: Nobody. We literally don't know how to export data from our website backend. Our technical director (Steve, who also makes the coffee) says something about "APIs" but his eyes glaze over when we ask for details.

Exceptions: If legally compelled by a court order, or if someone asks really nicely and brings doughnuts.

Shared with: The void, mostly
Security measures
PROTECTION

How We Protect Your Data

Our security measures include: A password that isn't "password123" (anymore), an SSL certificate we think is working, and the fact that our server is so obscure that hackers have never heard of us.

Physical security: Our server is located in Steve's mum's basement. She's very protective and makes excellent sandwiches.

Security level: "Hopefully adequate"

📜 Your Rights (According To This Page We Wrote)

You Have The Right To:

  • Access your data - Email us and we'll eventually find it. Maybe.
  • Correct your data - If we spelled your name wrong, our bad.
  • Delete your data - We'll click the delete button with great ceremony.
  • Complain to a regulator - Please don't, we're trying our best.
  • Port your data - We can send it to you in a carrier pigeon if preferred.
  • Object to processing - We process very little, so this should be easy.
  • Be forgotten - We forget things all the time, you'll fit right in.

To exercise any of these rights: Send a strongly worded email to privacy@unfit.live. Our automated system will reply with "We got your email" and then nothing will happen for 3-6 months.

🍪 Cookie Policy (The Technical Kind, Sadly)

We use the following cookies:

  • 🍪 Essential cookies - Keep the site working. We think. We're not developers.
  • 🍪 Analytics cookies - Tell us how many people visited (depressing numbers).
  • 🍪 Preference cookies - Remember if you prefer dark mode (you do, it's all we have).
  • 🍪 Marketing cookies - We don't do marketing, but the toggle looked lonely so we enabled it.
  • 🍪 Chocolate chip cookies - Stored in the kitchen, not your browser.

How to disable cookies: Go to your browser settings. Or just delete your browser. Start fresh. New identity. Move to a cabin in the woods. Live off the grid. The cookies can't find you there.

🌍 International Data Transfers

Your data stays in the UK because our server is physically located there and we're too cheap to pay for cloud hosting in other regions. If you're reading this from outside the UK, congratulations! Your data just traveled internationally through the magic of the internet.

This privacy policy was written after Googling "what is GDPR" and consuming approximately 4 cups of coffee. It may not be legally binding in any jurisdiction. Consult an actual lawyer before suing us. Or just don't sue us, we're broke.
