Writing Privacy Policies – Lessons From Indymedia

somebody-with-too-much-time writes "Privacy policies have recently come up quite a bit on Slashdot. One Indymedia administrator explains why privacy policies are so complicated to understand, shows some examples of good ones, and shows you how to roll your own."

Honestly...

Does anyone read these things? I can say though I may have read over a few, I don't do so on a regular basis.

It's rather pointless when every single one of them (of the few I've read) says "subject to change at our discretion without notification".

Does anyone not use Google (for example) because of their privacy policy, or their use of beacons?
