I found a handy site for taking notes, but everything it says about the privacy of this one:

“Anonymous by default, no adverts. We offer a high level of privacy for both writers and readers. You don’t need to create an account to post something. There are no adverts on the entire page and we don’t use any social media scripts. You can rest assured that information about your activity on the site will not be used by advertising companies or social media.”

This is in the “About” section.

There is no information about what information the site collects about the user.

    Are they? I would have thought that the IP address of someone accessing a site is public information.

      IP addresses are considered personal data.

      The data subjects are identifiable if they can be directly or indirectly identified, especially by reference to an identifier […]. Since the definition includes “any information,” one must assume that the term “personal data” should be as broadly interpreted as possible. This is also suggested in case law of the European Court of Justice, which also considers less explicit information, [such as] IP addresses.

      The whole article is a great read, btw.

      “Personal data” (and thus the protection of it and how organizations servicing EU citizens have to handle them) is much, much, much, more than just your name.

        I kinda think that the IP address is public information when you go to a site still. Since it’s needed to get data back to you and you’re requesting to get data back. But maybe I’m just a bit too old and stuck in the thinking of the phone book and such.
