Privacy Policy

[Jonathan Cruz]

I can't seem to find any information regarding a Privacy Policy on
YubNub. I've been using it for quite some time, but was starting to
get curious about what sort of user information you might be keeping/
forwarding.

[Jonathan Aquino]

I suppose I should write one up at some point. Basically, I keep no user information. This is just a hobby website that I maintain on the side.

Jon -

You rock. Seriously. Your service has been invaluable to me over the
years, and has increased my internet-fu by magnitudes.
Thanks so much for providing this radical website, even as just a
"hobby". Unrelated question - you accept donations? Would love to show
YOU some love for the help I've gotten from your project.

Thanks Jonathan! I'm not taking donations at this time, but I suggest "paying it forward" (i.e., helping out someone or supporting a worthy cause), in lieu.

I've actually also been curious about this recently. I'm not very proficient in code, so I can't look through the source, but is any logging done, even for statistical purposes? I use YubNub for nearly all my internet searches at home, and I wouldn't want a court order to reveal what I've been searching ThePirateBay for :)

 

Thanks and please keep on doing what you're doing!

The only logging done, if there is any, would be whatever Ruby on Rails logs by default.

Pirate Bay? tsk tsk.

A quick Google search comes up with the following:
http://wrath.rubyonrails.org/pipermail/rails/2005-December/007301.html
http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/112763
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/security.html#logging

All joking aside, having so much information in one log is a little worrisome, especially with some commands that take usernames and passwords as arguments. I know that you do this for free, but is there any chance you might be able to find the time to disable the "production mode" IP logging as per the EFF's Best Practices for Online Service Providers? In searching for some sort of privacy policy I found a couple of other users who declined to use YubNub due to privacy issues, and I think clear information would reassure many users. I have no experience with Ruby, but I'm good with HTML and Java, so let me know if there's anything I can do to help!

If anyone can tell me what the code is (or config option is) to turn off logging in Ruby on Rails, that would save me some time.

I'd submit a pull request for this if I could. Depending in yr Rails versions it's likely:

config/environments/production.rb

change `config.logger = nil`

In older rails apps it's in config/environment.rb and setting ActionController::Base.logger = ni

Has the YubNub code changed much since about this~?

Thanks Jamie. I have turned off logging, and deleted the log file. I had to do this:

  # Turn off logging

  RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER.level = Logger::FATAL

Thanks so much! I can recommend YubNub to my friends now without any privacy concerns :)
