I've been thinking about this lately, with regard to my own privacy policy.

I was thinking something to the effect "I will make all data I save that references your account or IP available to you through the following portal" - I of course, can't do it yet, as I haven't built the portal or figured out how to separate the data, but I think it's a neat solution to some of the problems I have (e.g. I really want to start doing console logging on VPSs 'cause it gives me a wealth of data when someone says "something was wrong with my VPS last night" - but so far I haven't (I do log physical consoles, just 'cause it's impossible to deal with hardware otherwise) due to privacy concerns.)

at /domain/portal just put a contact page and ask them to specify what they are looking for. You'll have to do it manually until you build the automated system but maybe the inconvenience would be motivation?

>but maybe the inconvenience would be motivation?

I need to limit the number of times I give myself extra work as 'motivation' - you get to the point where you spend all your time shooting alligators, and don't have any time at all to drain the swamp.

I mean, sometimes this is better than just not doing it? but not in this case, if you ask me.
