[General]

Briefly describe the website you are building (its purpose/functionality/etc.)

RuPualsFantasyLeague is a website for those who love RuPauls Drag Race. It allows users to engage in dialogue about and build rosters of their favorite Queens. It provides an interactive layer improving upon websites like drag-pedia (the leader in our market space).

What problem is your website meant to solve? (If your website were not intended to solve a problem, instead answer the following: what problem or problems could a website like yours solve?)

The lack of a community board on which users can discuss and organize their favorite Queens.

Identify the stakeholders (direct and indirect) whose interests are relevant to your website.

Members of the drag community and Queens on the show, media executives at Paramount Plus, and anyone who watches or supports the show. All those of us who will benefit from the uplifting and celebration of minorities around the world – so everyone.

What values are at stake for these stakeholders?

Inclusion, interpersonal connection, and respect for safe spaces.

Is your website likely to undermine or compromise any of these values? Which ones, for which stakeholders, and how?

Only if it becomes toxic.

Which values does your website promote, for which stakeholders, and how?

All of them, by providing a safe space for a marginalized community to thrive.

What counts as “success” for the website you are building? Given the relevant problem(s), stakeholders, and values that are at play, why is this account of success reasonable?

Adoption by the larger drag community. World of wonder (production company in charge of drag race) does not sue us for copyright infringement!

How does the broader social context surrounding your website affect the likelihood it will succeed?

Very positively. We expect the social context surrounding our website to allow it to thrive.

[Privacy]

What user data will you have access to, and what might this data reveal about its subjects?

• Personal Data: Characteristic, ways to contact

• Derivative Data: file systems, belongings, habits

• Social Network Data: Personal and network information

• Mobile Device Data: Mobile device information

• Third-Party Data: Personal or network information from third-party

What values are relevant to your website’s privacy policy? (Note that the relevant values will depend in part on the kind of website you are building).

Inclusion, interpersonal connection, and respect for a safe space. This informs our generous privacy policy.

Describe how you took the relevant values into account in writing your privacy policy (e.g., what decisions and tradeoffs were made, and why).

We want to learn more about users so that we can customize the website’s view based on user’s profile, thus enhancing their web surfing experience. To do that, we must store/ collect personal data of our users.

Users cannot use all our features if they do not provide us with some personal information. This might not sound so good in the first place, but we only want what is best for both sides: Users get their fullest experience while we can keep improving/ maintaining our excellent services.

[Autonomy]

In what ways might your user interface “nudge” users? Analyze a minimum of 3 features.

• On registration, it takes them immediately to the privacy policy page, where they can read our privacy policy.

• Users must check that they have read the privacy policy themselves.

• Privacy policy is easily accessible and understandable

Do any of these constitute “dark patterns”? For each previously identified feature, explain why it does or does not.

No, it explicitly asks users for their consent, without preventing them from navigating away

Also no, as it does not assume that users will want to accept the policy.
