Last updated 9/9/2024

MotherRobot is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines our current practices with regard to the information we collect when you interact with the MotherRobot website, download content from MotherRobot, or engage with us in related ways - like signing up for email, or laughing at a funny story.

Questions or concerns? Reading this privacy notice will help you understand your privacy rights and choices. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, stop reading immediately and never use this website again. You may elect to also burn your government IDs and sand off your fingerprints but that is entirely a personal choice. Direct privacy questions to peter@motherrobot.com. Bonus points for irreverent observations. Demerits for banality.

MotherRobot is committed to protecting your privacy.

As an occasional member of the tinfoil hat club ourselves, we’d like to say plainly and simply that we will completely protect your privacy and have no interest in sharing your personal details or nasty bits. We really don’t want to know much about you beyond the absolute minimum necessary to let you read our stories. That should be enough to make us all happy.

But in this day and age, you can’t be so sure. We could be a front for a rogue state after all. Are you going to just trust us? You should, but it’s probably best to elaborate our policies:

  1. MotherRobot is not interested in using your data for any purposes beyond making this website and content experience at MotherRobot.com better for you. Seriously darling, it’s all about you.

  2. We will not sell your data or share your data with third-parties, outside of web, email, and analytics providers used to host MotherRobot to provide you the web and content experience we provide. Those providers do not have rights to sell or use your data. We do not disclose visitor information outside of the need to:

    1. protect MotherRobot from liability,

    2. respond to legal procedures or comply with applicable laws.

  3. We only collect email addresses for visitors that wish to opt-in to updates about MotherRobot. You may unsubscribe at any time. You may read the content on MotherRobot.com without subscribing. Though we do hope you’ll subscribe because then you’ll know when new content is available.

  4. We may track a limited amount of information on on web traffic to MotherRobot through server logs and cookies.

  5. We do not currently sell materials nor services on MotherRobot.com

  6. We do not currently collect nor store payment information on MotherRobot.com

  7. No one has paid MotherRobot to generate content or opinions or spread propaganda but if the Russians did ask, we’d tell them to sod off because protecting our integrity is priceless.

When you visit MotherRobot.com, we may track information used to administer the site and optimize the experience for users. Examples of information we may track:

  • IP address (though we have no idea why we’d use this, every template we’ve looked at says we may be collecting this)

  • Type/Version of browser or computer (again, seriously who cares)

  • Links clicked on site (ok this is more useful to improve our site for you)

  • Web pages you viewed on MotherRobot (same as the above)

  • Web pages you clicked to MotherRobot from (so we can tell how you heard about us and thank that one friend who has insisted he won’t stop until MotherRobot is HUGE)

  • Geography (State/Region) from which you accessed MotherRobot.com (so we can say ‘we’re big in northern Indiana’)

  • Date/Time of visit

Use of Cookies

We may use cookies in a limited extent to improve the user experience when you visit the site. For example, to suppress asking you to subscribe to updates when you have already dismissed or subscribed. You may accept or decline cookies. Unless they are the baked kind made by Mrs. MotherRobot.
