Every web site has one of these pages.

They contain statements to reassure the visitor that all is fine, nothing sinister is present and no skullduggery is at hand.

So in keeping with that

“We respect your privacy”……. you know the rest.

But how sure are we (the web site) that it’s true?

We use many different libraries, tools and applications that we did not write and over which we have no control.

The site is running on a rented server and operating operating system, the owners of which face the same problem.

So how can we realistically make any claim about taking your privacy seriously?

We do, but we can’t….
