This weekend we took the car in for service. Instead of dropping it off at the dealership, we found a small, local garage. Prominently positioned on the counter was their Email Privacy Policy.
Privacy Policy posted in local auto repair shop.The full text of the notice.

That's a more readable and understandable privacy policy than most I see on websites. If a little garage can provide such an understandable and readable privacy policy, how is it that so many email and internet experts fail to do the same?

As someone who cares deeply about privacy policies (I was a founding member of the board of TRUSTe) | applaud the clarity of the Quality Tuneup email privacy policy. But I wonder if it was found taped to the counter because they forgot to post it to their site?
I couldn't find it; you?
