Privacy Policy Introduction

Truth About Your Data

So you’re worried about your “personal data”? That’s adorable. Let’s get metaphysical for a moment: if the self is an illusion, what exactly are we protecting here?

Nevertheless, in this dream we call consensus reality, your digital footprints apparently matter. The cosmic joke extends to privacy regulations, and we’re all playing along.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect information about something that doesn’t ultimately exist (you) while you use something else that doesn’t ultimately exist (our website). Funny how seriously we take these things, isn’t it?

Read on for the conventional illusion of data protection. The void awaits, but first, some paperwork.
