Ask HN: Any examples of non-terrible privacy policies?
An organization of which I am member just outsourced their membership, orders, and dues collection database to a cloud provider. The provider has the typically abysmal privacy policy, which includes terms such as:
- we can change our privacy policy at any time, in any way, by posting an update to our website
- we can share your personal data with any entity or individual that we work with
- we will try to keep your information secure but we don't guarantee anything
In short:
"Privacy obligations of cloud provider to users: None!"
Unfortunately, this seems pretty typical in the US. (I think things may be better in the EU.)
I would like to be able to point to commercial examples of [US] privacy policies that aren't terrible, that actually provide some kind of privacy protections for users. Have you ever read a privacy policy that makes you happy, or at least satisfied?

It’s also tracked on GitHub to make changes easier to see: https://github.com/tacoapp/privacy-policy https://github.com/tacoapp/privacy-policy
