Where's the Privacy Policy?

[Pixel]

Every site should have a privacy policy (and I'm pretty sure that for many countries it's a legal requirement)- where is McM's one?

I didn't know that McM logged which threads we view:

You could get into quite a bit of trouble especially when the GDPR comes in (EU).

You can find the privacy policy here ~ https://www.mc-market.org/policies/terms/

But here it is if you don't feel like finding it or clicking the link

There's already a thread regarding GDPR compliance however no input has been given yet: https://www.mc-market.org/threads/314415/

It'd be nice if there was at least some sort of dialogue from staff's end.

And if there isn't, they'll be able to get sued under the GDPR. I don't think anyone would actually bother but if someone did, McM would be in deep shit.

Thanks for the concern with this. Luckily before the GDPR began to be enforced we had implemented all of the relevant changes. Our privacy policy is also pretty clear in our wiki now.

Denied, thank you for your suggestion.
