New terms of service and privacy policy on Taskerrific

Taskerrific finally has a formalized, written terms of service document, and a documented privacy policy. If you’re a Taskerrific user, I suggest that you read them. However, I’ll give you a TL;DR here, if you’d prefer that.

The Terms of Service pretty much state:

• Be responsible; don’t give out your password, don’t post anything that causes others grief, don’t post anything illegal or adult (including links to such content).
• Don’t spam.
• Don’t troll, don’t try cracking the site, and don’t try cracking others to make it look I was involved.
• If I have to shut down Taskerrific for whatever reason, I can. Alternatively, if you cause trouble, I can delete your account, warning optional.
• If you’re using someone else’s trademark as your username, and they want it, I can steal it from you.
• There’s no warranty, and I disclaim all liability if something goes wrong.

In short, your standard, run of the mill TOS. It looks scarier than it is.

As for the Privacy Policy,

• Any data you put on the service is collected for the purposes of making the service (more) useful to you. I won’t sell you to the knackers.
• Emails, etc. between you and me will be kept.
• Taskerrific uses delicious, delicious cookies. Mmm good.
• If the feds want to know what you’ve put on Taskerrific, and they have a warrant or subpoena, they get your data. Otherwise, it’s my call, but don’t expect me to cooperate any more than I’m forced to.
• If someone cracks the server and ganks the database, I have to tell you about it.
• Just because there’s links to other sites on Taskerrific doesn’t mean I endorse them. Just a bit of arse-covering there.

Again, nothing out of the ordinary.

If you have any concerns about the terms of service and/or privacy policy, feel free to drop me a line at <chris at taskerrific.com> and I’ll do my best to deal with them. I’m not a lawyer, but who knows, I might be helpful anyway (or more so).
