+This document outlines this service's respect for your personal
+privacy as a user of the service.
+
+- Almost all the text and files that users upload to this site is
+ available under the site license (see the license block at the bottom
+ of this page). Users agree to the license when they register to use
+ the site for the first time. Typically that means that the data can
+ be copied far and wide, for commercial and non-commercial purposes,
+ and in modified or unmodified form. If you're not OK with that,
+ don't use the service.
+- The following data items are considered *private data* that won't be
+ shared with other users, business partners, or the public at large:
+ * your password
+ * your email address
+ * your IM address (AIM, Jabber, or other instant messaging address)
+ * your phone number
+ * your "private messages"
+ * your login credentials (username and password) for other services (Twitter, Facebook, etc.)
+- Some private data may be published in aggregate, e.g. "30% of our
+ users are registered with Hotmail addresses."
+- Your notices (including files) can be downloaded and re-used by
+ other services, either one-by-one or in bulk as
+ [RSS](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS) files.
+- Your profile information (including subscriptions and avatars) can be
+ downloaded and re-used by other services, either scraped from the HTML
+ interface or in bulk as [FOAF](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FOAF) files.
+- Your notices will be forwarded to users who subscribe to them,
+ including users on another microblogging service.
+- Your profile information will be sent to microblogging services for
+ users who subscribe to you or to whom you subscribe.
+- Based on your email preferences, you may receive automated email
+ messages for important system events, such as when others subscribe
+ to your notices.
+- Based on your email preferences, you may receive an email
+ newsletter. You can opt out of the newsletter if you don't want to
+ receive it.
+- In urgent situations, administrators may send you email directly to
+ your registered email address, even if you've requested no notices
+ or newsletter. *Administrators will use digitally-signed email.*
+- This service will comply with court orders to turn over your private
+ information.
