Who we are
Our website address is: https://bigmantinyhouse.com. We are the big man that lives in a tiny house.
What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Personal data? We don’t get much, except as listed in the sections below. You can always just enter fake info and go on with your day.
Comments
When visitors (i.e., you) leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. See the Gravatar service privacy policy to see what they do with it. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment. Don’t use a picture you wouldn’t want your mum to see plastered all over the news when they comb through your browser history.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Contact forms
If you try to contact us through a form, we probably will never see it. That’s because we disabled and deleted all of the contact forms. If, for some reason, you “hack” our site by doing something like viewing the source code and discover our contact form, you will be able to upload your intimate details like the gross weight of your last toenail clipping collection, and there’s nothing we can do about it. Except cry again.
Cookies
This site, like virtually every other site in existence, uses cookies. If you don’t want cookies, set your browser to block them, or delete the cookies manually.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Analytics
We use third-party services to analyze how this site is being used, when it is being used, how often it is being used, who is using it and how it feels about being used so much without even the gosh-darn common courtesy of a reacharo— I mean, a “thank you” in return. They probably capture various info, like your IP address and any cookies they’ve already put on your browser. If you don’t want to be tracked, clear your cookies, set incognito mode, use a VPN and do it all on a throwaway phone that you bought with cash in another city.
Who we share your data with
No One. If the government or law enforcement comes knocking, we’d rather burn the whole thing down than hand over your stuff. On the other hand, we like freedom. A lot.
So we might have to sell you out just to protect our own worthless hides. So don’t use your real info if you’re going to post bad stuff.
How long we retain your data
Remember this rule: everything on the internet is forever.
“Everything on the internet is forever”
— some person (probably)
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
Web access logs are retained forever.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
A fee for time and expenses extracting or removing that data will apply, and believe you me, our time ain’t cheap. We’re talking MILLIONS!!
Where we send your data
We send your data on a loooooong journey. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Maybe, we said. MAY BE.
Additional information
How we protect your data
We don’t. Post at your own risk and assume it will be compromised. If you are using a password, pick a good, long one, at least 25-30 characters. Don’t use the same password on any other site, at any time, anywhere, ever.
Use a password manager like LastPass or 1Password or whatever, or expect that all of your accounts will be hacked and you will be Pwnd.
Use a VPN for crissakes. If you don’t have one, get one.
What data breach procedures we have in place
If our data is breached, we have measures designed to remediate this from happening again. What that means is we’ll delete everything, change our name and start over in a new country.
What automated decision making and/or profiling we do with user data
We don’t do anything of the sort. We don’t care about your profile. And we don’t have time to write code to do something stupid to stupid data.
