Who I Am
This is going to shock you, but my website address is: http://thefoxae.com. I’m Amanda Fox. Hello! If you need to reach me, my contact information is – GASP! – on the Contact page.
Leaving Comments
If you decide to comment on one of my posts, you should know the following:
- I get the information you share in the comments form. I know – what a surprise!
- I also get your IP address. There’s nothing either of us can do about it. I don’t want it, and I’m not going to pay any attention to it UNLESS you’re being a huge creep or threatening me or others. In that case, I will totally look at it and probably send it to the police. I don’t know what they’ll do with it because I am not a police.
- I also get your “browser user agent string” which is a fancy way of saying that I can tell if you’re just spam or not. I mean, realistically, I can tell based on your actual comment without having to read the string, but hey.
If you use Gravatar, your profile picture may show up next to your comment. I can’t do anything to change this, but if you are really put out about it for some reason, you can take it up with Gravatar. They have their whole privacy policy here: clicky
Keep in mind that your comments will be public. That means ANYONE can see what you’ve written, not just me. Please don’t include personal information in the comment like your email address, your physical address, your social security number… that kind of thing. That’s moronic.
One last thing about leaving comments: if your comment is hateful or threatening or full of pictures of buttholes or whatever, I’m going to delete it. And if that happens, you should take a moment to consider your future commenting etiquette. Also, like, who posts pictures of buttholes on a site that isn’t dedicated to buttholes? That is REALLY weird, and you should talk to a professional.
Cookies
Hey, guess what? Cookies are a thing that happen on the internet. If you don’t know about them yet because either this is your first day on the internet (welcome!) or you are out of the loop, then you can read more about them from Norton here: clicky
Cookies on this site can last up to a year. I have no control over your cookies, and I give absolutely no shits about them either. I don’t do anything with these, and I don’t have any access to the information contained therein.
That article I linked above will direct you on how to delete cookies if you don’t want them to pile up and attract ants. That’s up to you.
Embedded or Referenced Content from Other Sites
If I post links to other sites, that doesn’t mean I approve or endorse 100% of the things they say/post/do/think. I am not responsible for your feelings related to another site (or my own, to be frank). HOWEVER, if I link to a site, and they are doing unsavory things like punching orphans, protesting public libraries, or being racists, please tell me! I have no intention of supporting the content of people or businesses like that (which is why you’ll never see me post anything from Nestle, and also fuck those guys).
Remember that this privacy policy ONLY applies to thefoxae.com and its subpages. If you click a link that takes you to a different site, make sure you know THEIR privacy policy. I promise it will be much less fun to read than mine, but the terms are still important for you to understand.
Your Data
Your data may be tracked by analytic software. This means that I can see things like the general area you’re from (but not your address or anything specific), what browser you use (yes, if you use Internet Explorer, I will judge you harshly), and how you got to my site. This could show me keywords you put into a search engine or whether you clicked a link from a different site. Basically, if you landed on this page while searching for butthole pictures, I will absolutely know.
I do not use this information for purposes that could, in any way, be considered nefarious. I like to see how people find the site, and I like to know where my audience is located in a vague geographical sense. If the majority of you are from Brazil, for example, then I should probably brush up on my Portuguese.
In addition, I do not – nor will I ever! – share your data with a third party for any benefit to myself. The ONLY reason I would share your data with ANYONE is if law enforcement needs to get involved because you’re being an asshole or threatening to harm yourself.
My Expectations
Please, for the love of your chosen deity or favorite article of clothing or whatever you want to swear on, don’t be an asshole. I’m not going to be an asshole to YOU, and I expect that you won’t be an asshole to ME. It’s very simple. Have respect for your fellow humans. Recycle. Pick up after yourselves. Don’t buy Nestle products. Go team!
