Personal information is not collected or shared with anyone.

That's it. Nothing is kept. Nada. Zilch.

Why?

So, this is meant to be some inspirational story about how it isn't needed, that it makes the world a better place, that collection of your data is evil. While that is all true, that's not the main reason. The real reason is I have no use for such data, and have no desire to collect it. In addition I don't have the skill, the time, nor the inclination to do so.

Collecting such information and processing it requires storage, processing, and frankly more time and effort than I am willing to invest. It would also be against the idea of Bonzamate where the results are not influenced by human actions, and that it gets back to a pure keyword search that existed back in the earlier days of the web.

As such logs aren't even written to disk. IP addresses are stored in memory, however this is only done to attempt to twart attackers overloading the system, and not for any other reason.

There is of course an exception to the above. That being that if the police or any other authority makes requests I will comply to the fullest extent of the law. This is because I am allergic to gaol.
