i figured we were too small-time, nor are we a corporate entity, to need one. Nor do we use any data collected on this site for anything other than displaying your posts.

You're not legally required to have a TOS or privacy policy either. In fact, much of the time these are used by corporations to do crummy things like sell data to other companies without being held legally liable. I don't even want to touch the database except for debugging purposes if I can get away with it.

But aren't there like, legal requirements jstpst has to meet? Like GDPR and stuff like that?

I don't suspect y'all of anything crummy, but if it's not a concern for us and if we've been running with dozens (hundreds?) of users for so long, I guess I'll be fine too.

i'll look into it, we don't participate in any economic activity and we don't monitor our users' activity. iirc those are the requirements to fall under its scope. also last i checked the database we haven't broken a hundred users.

if we really want to get down to it i'm probably legally the owner so in the unlikely event that something does happen, the eu will be fining a private citizen outside the eu with a negative net worth so it's not like they'll get anything out of it :P
