FYI the email below about our use of Google Analytics, we need to add a privacy disclaimer page to the Tuscany website.

While this is not a problem per se, Google requires in its Terms and Conditions that all sites using it must post a privacy policy (to be exact, paragraph 7 of the Analytics Terms and Conditions at http://www.google.com/analytics/tos.html states that "You must post a privacy policy and that policy must provide notice of your use of a cookie that collects anonymous traffic data.") The legal-discuss group, together with the Jackrabbit PMC and a number of individuals has pursued this issue and drafted up a privacy policy for Jackrabbit, which is available at http://jackrabbit.apache.org/privacy-policy.html The board would like to thank you for this and appreciates the effort and diligence that went into it. If your PMC is collecting information through Google Analytics (ATM there are at least 18 PMCs using it; you know who you are), we expect you to set up a privacy policy along the lines of the Jackrabbit PMC and add a note to your next board report after you have done so. Thank you for your cooperation. For the Apache board Henning --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
