What's a company with a draconian privacy policy?
Posted by: Greg the dogsitter (IP Logged)

I've seen a few stated privacy policies along the lines of: "We don't sell your information to anyone, ever."

Can't manage to find one of those right now. Could you please let me know if you're aware of one, off the top of your head?

Thanks!

draconian or simple? The one on this page is similar to your example: [en.wikipedia.org]

This one is a bit more draconian: [meta.wikimedia.org]

How about "We wont sell you information to bail bondsmen"?

I don't think "draconian" is the right word. I think you mean "consumer friendly," which is the opposite of "draconian." A draconian policy would make the consumer jump through the most hoops the law allowed in order for him/her to get his/her name removed from all sales lists.

"Draconian" may not be right; I misused that word, thinking about how the company's policy would appear to its own employees. "We have a zero-tolerance policy on shenanigans with customers' email, here!"

Anyway, the Wikipedia example will work fine. Thanks, all!
