Privacy / data retention policy (self.lemmy_ca_support)

It'd be nice to (eventually!) see a link laying out a privacy policy for the instance, something like: https://newsie.social/privacy-policy

I'd especially be interested to know how long you associate the IP addresses we visit from with our accounts, who can see that info (and our emails), what other PII you store, and how long deleted posts/accounts are stored for.

(Totally get and very much appreciate that smorks &co have a lot on their plates just getting this place off the ground, not trying to demand additional work, just a suggestion. Seems like it'd take some thinking to balance with eg. a good backup regimen.)

Know you're probably really busy, and this whole space is taking off fast, but this is really, really important to maintain your and your users's safety.

Thanks for the tag, hadn't seen this. I agree that having a privacy policy is important, we'll chat and get back to you!

No worries. I know everyone is running around with their hair on fire right now across this space. Just want to keep it on the radar.
