XScreenSaver Privacy Policy Parody

XScreenSaver for Android is... a set of screen savers and live wallpapers. That's it. It draws pretty pictures on your screen. And it's free. That's the whole deal. But in their wisdom, Google -- the most rapacious privacy violator on the planet -- have decreed that XScreenSaver cannot be made available on their "Play" [sic] store until I publish a "Privacy Policy". For a screen saver. A privacy policy. For a screen saver. This pantomime where Google pretends to care about your welfare would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad, but here we are anyway. Ok, strap in! XScreenSaver for Android • Privacy Policy Unlike Google, XScreenSaver collects no user data. Unlike Google, XScreenSaver uses no user data, having collected no user data. Unlike Google, XScreenSaver shares no user data, having collected no user data. Unlike Google, XScreenSaver has no need to process requests for deletion of that user data, having collected no user data. Unlike Google, XScreenSaver will honor deletion requests if you email us asking to delete all none of your user data that does not exist.

На скриншоте высмеивается абсурдная политика конфиденциальности для XScreenSaver: приложение не собирает, не использует и не передаёт пользовательские данные, поэтому ему нечего удалять. Шутка направлена на лицемерие Google, который требует такую политику от заставки, несмотря на собственную репутацию агрессивного сборщика данных. EN: The screenshot mocks the absurd privacy policy required for XScreenSaver: the app collects, uses, and shares no user data, so there is nothing to delete. The joke targets Google's hypocrisy in demanding such a policy from a screensaver despite its reputation as an aggressive data collector.
