Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2021-06-20 16:08:41 UTC
See URL. The introduction currently has as its last paragraph:

"This Privacy Statement does not cover any external services that are simply used by Gentoo. These include, but are not limited to the Freenode IRC Network and GitHub."

I propose to update this as follows:

"This Privacy Statement does not cover any external services that are simply used by Gentoo. These include, but are not limited to the Libera Chat IRC Network and GitHub."

ulm: I don't think this is sufficent, because privacy statements need to address things previously used as well as actively used. So it needs to address prior usage of Freenode or not mention networks at all.

I suggest either (my preference is b)
a)
"This Privacy Statement does not cover any external services that are simply used by Gentoo. These include, but are not limited to external IRC services, GitHub and GitLab."

b)
"""
This Privacy Statement does not cover any external services that are simply used by Gentoo. Please see the appendix of external services for a non-exhaustive listing of such services.

External services:
==================
- Freenode IRC network and predecessor networks from 1999 through 2021
- Libera IRC network starting from 2021/mm/yy
- GitHub
- GitLab
"""

IMHO "not limited to" in my proposed wording would have made it clear that Libera Chat is only an example.

Of your suggestions, my preference would be for a). Having an explicit list strongly suggests that it is a complete list (regardless of what is said above) which may be misleading.
Comment 5 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2022-06-07 07:07:13 UTC
Ping. We're on libera.chat since more than a year, but the privacy policy still refers to freenode.
