Ask HN: Privacy policy of HN

by TokenDiversity on 7/4/2017, 8:54 AM with 5 comments

I feel like this HN should be the leader in terms of setting guidelines for how to handle data and I would love to see a nice privacy policy. Is there someplace I haven't looked? The footer doesn't have it.

    More then likely they use the following: https://www.ycombinator.com/legal/

    Well, I had no idea. And I've been using Google Cloud for a while now. I wonder if there any legal consequences in saying that I am a business (when in reality I'm just trying out their APIs), or if I can get into any kind of trouble.

    Seconded. I am also curious about old submissions, especially those that did not get any traction - are the held in the db forever, or are they aged off and deleted?

    I'm expecting that all comments are held forever though.

    Finally, who owns my comments, me or HN?
