PRIVACY POLICY
Document PP-1981 · Effective August 1981 · Last revised when Karen asked us to write one
Classification: PUBLIC-ISH · We do not sell personal information · We do not sell organs · Companion document: Terms of Service
§1 Who We Are
This Privacy Policy describes how BenCorp International Holdings ("BenCorp," "we," "us") handles information when you visit bencorp.net. We are a satirical anatomical holding company, a wholly owned subsidiary of One Guy From Green Bay, operating in continuous session since August 1981.
This Policy is meant to be readable. It is not medical advice. We do not sell your organs. We also do not sell your personal information.
§2 Information We Collect
Public browsing of the site does not require an account. We do not currently operate a customer login or a persistent public-visitor database.
If you use Contact, you may provide a name, email address, and memo. Those fields exist so Karen in HR / Filtration has something to filter. Do not include Social Security numbers, payment cards, health diagnoses, or other sensitive data in a memo. Gerald has 11,000+ unread notifications and is not a vault.
Our hosting provider and the network in between may process standard technical logs (IP address, user agent, timestamps, requested URLs) to keep the site standing. Steve, Chief Structural Officer, insists this is "fine."
§3 How We Use Information
We use information to: (a) operate and secure the site; (b) route memos to HR / Filtration; (c) diagnose outages; (d) improve copy after someone points out that Gerald cannot, in fact, open a 48th tab; and (e) comply with law.
We do not use your information to train a secret organ. We do not use it to bill Ben's Wallet unless you are on a real paid plan, which you currently are not, because the catalog is satire.
§4 Cookies & Similar Tech
The public pages do not set advertising cookies. If you sign in to a future account feature, a session cookie would be required to keep you signed in. We will update this Policy before that happens, assuming Patricia can find the revision in Q3.
Your browser may store local data on its own. That is between you and your browser. Barry will leave the meeting before we finish explaining it.
§5 Fonts, Ads & Other Third Parties
We load Orbitron and Share Tech Mono from Google Fonts. Google may receive your IP address and user agent as part of that request. See Google's own privacy policy for how they handle it.
The site displays satirical advertisements that link to third-party properties (including youraicsuite.com, yourhumansuite.com, humanifying.com, and lastweektonight250.com). Those sites are not BenCorp. Their policies apply when you click through.
If the site is served through a host or CDN (for example Vercel), that provider processes requests in order to deliver pages. They are processors, not a new organ. Gary is still not invited.
§6 Sharing
We share information only: with service providers who host or operate the site; if required by law or to protect BenCorp, visitors, or One Guy From Green Bay; or with your direction.
We do not sell personal information. We do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not hand it to the Gallbladder Division. That division is closed.
§7 Retention
Technical logs are kept only as long as the host keeps them for security and operations. Memos are processed by HR / Filtration; we do not currently promise a long-term archive. If we start keeping one, we will say so here.
Frank retains grudges indefinitely. That is an internal organ matter and, regrettably, not a data-subject right you can exercise against him.
§8 Your Rights
Depending on where you live (including Wisconsin, other U.S. states with privacy laws, and the EEA/UK), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to appeal a denial.
To make a request, submit a memo on the Contact page with the subject "Privacy." We will need enough information to find you in the (currently very short) pile. We will not honor requests from Gary. See Terms §13.
If we decline a request we are not legally required to grant, you may appeal by submitting a second memo. Karen will filter it. Eventually.
§9 Children
The site is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 where that is the relevant age). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have, contact us and we will delete it. Do not let a child operate the defibrillator button. It is a joke. It is also a large red button.
§10 International
We are based in Green Bay, Wisconsin, United States. If you visit from elsewhere, your information may be processed in the United States, where laws may differ from those in your country. Use of the site is your instruction to handle information as described here.
§11 Changes
We may update this Policy. The "Last revised" line at the top will change when Gerald saves the file. Continued use after an update is acknowledgment. Material changes will be posted on the site.
§12 Contact
Privacy questions and requests: use the Contact page, attention HR / Filtration. You may also write BenCorp, Internal Organs Division, Green Bay, Wisconsin. Do not include payment card data in the envelope. Patricia does not want it.

CONTROLLING LEGAL TEXT · 8PT · EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 10, 2026
The numbered sections above are satire. This Fine Print is the Privacy Policy for https://bencorp.net, operated by BEN CORP (“BenCorp,” “we,” “us”), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA. It describes how we handle personal information. Companion document: Terms of Service.
1. Controller. The controller of personal information processed through this website is the operator of bencorp.net, doing business as BEN CORP. Contact: the Contact page or ben@bencorp.net, Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA.
2. Information we collect. You may use the public site without creating an account. We do not currently operate a public user database. If you use Contact, you may provide a name, email address, and message. That form currently runs in your browser and is not stored by us unless we later connect it to a server or email inbox; if we do, this Policy still applies. Our hosting and CDN provider (currently Vercel) may process technical data such as IP address, user-agent, timestamps, and requested URLs in server logs to deliver and secure the site. We do not ask you for payment card, government ID, or health information, and you should not send it.
3. How we use information. We process information to operate, maintain, and secure the site; to respond to messages you send; to diagnose errors; and to comply with law. We do not sell personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
4. Legal bases (EEA/UK). If the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we process technical logs based on legitimate interests in running a secure website, and we process Contact information based on our legitimate interest in responding to you or, where required, your consent or performance of a request you initiate.
5. Cookies. Public pages do not set advertising cookies. Essential cookies or local storage may be used by the host or your browser to deliver the site. If we add accounts or analytics, we will update this Policy before using non-essential cookies.
6. Processors and third parties. We use service providers that process data on our behalf, including website hosting/CDN (Vercel). The site loads Orbitron and Share Tech Mono from Google Fonts, which may receive your IP address and user-agent; Google’s privacy policy applies to that request. Outbound links (including advertisements) go to third-party sites that we do not control. We disclose information if required by law, to protect rights and safety, or with your direction. We may transfer information if the site’s operator changes, under this Policy.
7. Retention. Host logs are retained only as long as the provider keeps them for operations and security, typically a short rolling period. Messages we actually receive are kept only as long as needed to respond and for legitimate record-keeping, then deleted or archived. We do not operate a long-term marketing list.
8. Security. We use reasonable administrative and technical measures appropriate to a small public website (HTTPS, reputable hosting). No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
9. Your rights. Depending on your location (including certain U.S. states and the EEA/UK), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, to withdraw consent, and to appeal a denial. To exercise these rights, contact us as in §1. We may need to verify your request. You may also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. We will not discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights. “Do Not Sell or Share” requests: we do not sell or share personal information as those terms are used in the CCPA.
10. Children. The site is not directed to children under 13 (or 16 where that is the relevant age). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have, contact us and we will delete it.
11. International transfers. We are based in the United States. If you visit from another country, your information may be processed in the United States, where laws may differ from those in your country.
12. Changes. We may update this Policy by posting a revised version with a new effective date. Material changes will be posted on the site. Continued use after the effective date is acknowledgment of the update.
