 ====== WPLUG IRC Privacy Policy ======
-We aren't interested in the legal headache of crafting a "Privacy Policy" that ends up confusing the average reader. Instead, we'll just be direct about how this works.
+We aren't interested in the legal headache of crafting a "Privacy Policy" that ends up confusing the average reader. Most Privacy Policies are drafted by a team of lawyers with one goal: to protect the company from its users. We are not a company. We are a collective. So, we'll just be direct about how this works.
 **The Facts:**
   * **No Selling.** We will never sell your data. Period.
   * **No Sharing.** We do not share your data.
   * **Total Deletion.** If you request that your account or data be deleted, we will delete it. No hoops, no excuses.
   * **Verifiable Deletion.** If you want proof that your data is gone, we will live-stream the deletion process to you over Signal or your preferred secure application.
-  * **Active Defense.** We will fight tooth-and-nail against any and every request for users' data. If we are served with a request for your information, we will notify you immediately (unless legally barred from doing so, in which case, we will contest that, as well) and we will contest it.

   * **Open Answers.** If you have questions about what we have, where it is, or how it's stored, ask. We will provide every answer we can.
 **A Note on History:**
 To keep the community as a usable archive of knowledge, we retain channel history for one year. Private message history is also retained for one year, but this is opt-out.
+//Q: Why is private message history opt-out?//
+A: Because we feel most people want to be able to get a link from a message that was sent weeks ago. Private message history enables this.
 This is our word. It's a commitment to the people who make WPLUG what it is.
