Tech Tuesday - Privacy and Site Terms
There has been a lot of news lately about Privacy and information breaches all over the place. Combine that with the new EU law, GDPR, going into effect on May 26th, and every internet company on Earth has been bombarding you with alerts, messages, and requests for re-agreements. The amount of regulation that you have to deal with as a small business is frankly crushing. As the laws were written by technical half-wits (and I'm being generous), the law is written in such a way as that everyone is in violation of the law in some way or another unless you have a large team of well-paid lawyers making everything more complicated and messy. The USA wasn't to be outdone and passed a moronic Anti-Sex Trafficking Bill... that basically puts every company that operates on the Internet in harm's way....unless you have an army of lawyers. Expect more changes as we make adjustments to make sure we are well inside what's allowed by these laws.
In the meantime, you can find our most up-to-date Privacy Policy linked at the bottom of every page:
You can find the Rules/Terms of Service/Guidelines for the site under the Help Menu as Guidelines:
The Terms of Service Short form is here: https://www.gayauthors.org/terms/
