lisa I am a cognitive scientist, psychologist, and online learning specialist with an interest in taekwon-do, web stuff, cycling, indoor soccer and sundry other things. This is my blog home - it is pretty messy and disorganised, a bit like my real home. Since I don't write posts regularly, I have moved the posts to the sidebar under "Random Thoughts" and shifted my work-based stuff to the main home page.

Commendably-written privacy policy …

Filed under: Elearning,General — Lisa Wise @ 9:38 pm

In the course of following a link on the distribution of American geniuses (thanks Michael :-) ), I read the OKCupid privacy policy (since they publish amusing and interesting statistics on the information provided by their users).

The privacy policy is a really good example of how to actually explain what may happen to someone’s information, including how it is archived and what would happen if the whole website changed hands … I like it!

The stats are also interesting – there are obvious issues with the self-selecting sample, but it makes a change from “the sample were first year psychology students participating for course credit”)
