Issue

What should this be? We need to audit the trans dim site - this should be more or less in line with what we want here? Can we use the same stuff? Check the differences & similarities

see #182

Strictly speaking, information about the storage period of the data would also have to be provided, but unfortunately there is no clear statement from Google on this.

Have started this and have written a draft policy here, based on the one on the trans dimension: https://github.com/geeksforsocialchange/gfsc-v3/tree/feat/250-add-privacy-policy

HOWEVER have run into an unfortunate barrier: spotify embeds do not conform to this policy. Users must consent to the use of analytics cookies before we can show them. We also currently say that we collect anonymous data using plausible analytics (nbot sure if this is true) but if it is true, even if it is anonymous, AFAIK we still need to ask for visitors consent to collect this. I will raise a new issue about these things.

@aaaaargZombies @ivan-kocienski-gfsc @katjam any thoughts on the above?

ivan-kocienski-gfsc commented 1 year ago

Seems okay to me (but I am not a legal person so...)

Perhaps change the email address from Kim's ?

r-ferrier commented 1 year ago

alas, it's definitely not ok - have linked to the regulations in the issue I mentioned in the comment above.

https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/direct-marketing-and-privacy-and-electronic-communications/guide-to-pecr/cookies-and-similar-technologies/

There's a lot of detail in there but the headline info for cookies is:

This means that if you use cookies you must:

say what cookies will be set; explain what the cookies will do; and obtain consent to store cookies on devices.

r-ferrier commented 1 year ago

Have made a proposal for dealing with cookies on the website and this will remain blocked until this is agreed on and https://github.com/geeksforsocialchange/gfsc-v3/issues/287 is sorted out.

That draft looks good and much better than ignoring it. I agree with ivan though, we should probably move towards using a privacy@gfsc.studio or info@gfsc.studio address so that Kim is not a single point of responsibility.
