## Usage and storage of collected information
**For most services:** Whatever data is collected is stored on one server in Germany and won't be shared with any third parties whatsoever.
**For Nextcloud:** Whatever data is collected is stored on one server in my living room and won't be shared with any third parties either. User's files are encrypted at rest so no one can hack into my server and steal them. I do have the encryption key so I *could* decrypt and view your files. I'm not going to bother with that though because I don't have any interest in looking at your personal stuff. That's your business and I won't invade your privacy.

There's no warranty, no uptime assurance, etc. so I recommend using multiple [resolvers](https://wiki.lelux.fi/dns/resolvers); that also improves privacy because the DNS queries are spread across multiple providers
# Exceptions
I do live in the US; I have two servers here, one in Germany, and another in Luxembourg. If, for whatever reason, I'm compelled by law enforcement to give up your email, IP address, or any other information, I will. *I don't want to*. As such, I do whatever I can to make sure *I don't have that information*. If I don't have it, I can't share it.

# Recommendations
To mitigate invasions of privacy like this, use a throwaway email address for registration, such as one from [anonbox](https://anonbox.net/) if you want a temporary address or [cock.li](https://cock.li/) for something a bit more permanent, provide a [fake name](https://fakena.me/fake-name/), and use the service from behind [Tor](https://www.torproject.org/) or a VPN. Rather than a VPN, however, I *strongly* recommend using Tor across all devices. They have an [Android version](https://www.torproject.org/download/#android) now and there's another browser for iOS that they recommend called [Onion Browser](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/onion-browser/id519296448). I don't use iOS so I can't say whether or not it's any good, just that the Tor Project recommends it below the Android section.
