ROBOT CRIMES — PRIVACY POLICY
Filed under: Things You Should Probably Know Before You Knock Twice
WHO WE ARE
This joint goes by RobotCrimes.com.
If you made it here, you’re already in the wrong alley — or the right one, depending on what you’re running from.
COMMENTS — WHEN YOU TALK, WE LISTEN (AND LOG IT)
When you leave a comment, we collect whatever you type into the box — plus your IP address and your browser’s fingerprints.
Not because we’re nosy.
Because the spambots out there breed faster than bad ideas.
If you use Gravatar, they might check your email hash to see if you’ve got a face to show.
That’s their racket, not ours.
Once your comment’s approved, your mug shows up next to it.
That’s the price of speaking in public.
MEDIA — WATCH WHAT YOU UPLOAD
If you upload images, strip out the location data first.
EXIF tags spill secrets — where you were, when you were there, maybe even who you were running from.
Anyone can download an image and read its guts.
Don’t make it easy.
COOKIES — THE LITTLE CRUMBS YOU LEAVE BEHIND
Leave a comment?
We drop a cookie so you don’t have to type your name again.
Convenience, not surveillance.
Log in?
We set a few more — temporary ones, long‑term ones, the usual suspects.
They remember your screen settings and keep you signed in if you ask nicely.
Edit or publish something?
We stash a cookie with the post ID.
It’s harmless.
Expires in a day.
EMBEDDED CONTENT — OTHER SITES, OTHER TROUBLES
Sometimes we embed videos, images, or articles from other outfits.
When you view that stuff, it’s like you walked into their office, not ours.
They might track you.
They might log you.
They might follow you around the block.
We don’t control their habits.
We just point you toward the door.
WHO WE SHARE YOUR DATA WITH
Ask for a password reset and your IP address tags along for the ride.
It’s part of the process — a digital return address on a letter you hope never gets intercepted.
HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR DATA
Comments stick around forever — or close enough.
We keep them so follow‑ups don’t get stuck in limbo.
If you register an account, your profile info stays on file until you change it or walk away.
Admins can see it, edit it, and keep the lights on.
YOUR RIGHTS — WHAT YOU CAN ASK FOR
If you’ve got an account or left comments, you can ask for a copy of everything we’ve got on you.
A full export — the whole case file.
You can also ask us to erase it.
We’ll wipe it clean unless the law says otherwise.
WHERE YOUR DATA GOES
Comments may run through an automated spam detective — a cold, tireless machine that sniffs out trouble before it starts.
It’s not glamorous, but it keeps the alley clear.
FINAL WORD
We don’t sell your secrets.
We don’t auction your identity.
We don’t feed your data to the algorithms chewing through the city’s wires.
We keep what we need, toss what we don’t, and guard the rest like evidence in a locked drawer.
This is Robot Crimes.
Where even the privacy policy has a shadow.
