I know what you're thinking: "Don't Bring Your Phucking Phone Phest has a privacy policy??"Â That's, right! We do! We just never wrote it down. Or discussed it. Or thought about it. Technically you all have privacy policies, too. That's like... how you decide whether or not to spill the beans on secrets that people tell you. Anyway, we're changing ours! It used to not be in this email and so we're changing it so that it is in this email:We respect your privacy. We won't sell your information because that would be antithetical to the whole vibe of the phest (and evil, and a betrayal of trust). We won't share your information with advertisers. We don't have any partners, but if we did, we wouldn't share your information with them either. If you tell us secrets via email, you do so at your own risk because honestly we can't commit to keeping secrets for 90+ people all at the same time. We promise to do our best to always be kind to animals. That's not really privacy related but it seemed silly to make a whole other policy just for that.I thought about lawyers for a few seconds after writing all that so I hope that indicates to you all how incredibly serious this is. Also it's in italic text which is probably legally binding.Anyway, the Phest is coming up tomorrow. It's at the hostel again! Here are the details:==============================Date: Thursday, March 12, 2026Location: The Black Elephant HostelTime: 5pm to 8PM==============================
One more reminder: the Hostel is open for business and some people will be there as hostel guests, not as phesters, so please be respectful of their decision to bring or not bring their phucking phone!
I look forward to not seeing your phucking phones there!
