> Their website doesn't even have a privacy policy, just a dummy link

That’s not true at all. They have a privacy policy linked at the bottom of their page. It opens in a new tab by default which is probably blocked by our adblocker.

According to the source code, the link is broken for desktop (class="footer_component desktop"), but not mobile (class="footer_component mobile").

   <a href="#" class="footer-link">Privacy Policy</a>

is a non-functional link.

Probably has some javascript handler or something?

it was easy to test by turning off the adblock and it definitely doesn't work.

I just checked in Firefox on desktop - and their privacy policy links to a real page. I thought maybe it was recent, so I checked on the Internet Archive as well. Nope, it's been there since at least September.

Are they doing something weird and non-standard that may not work everywhere? Quite possibly. Is it a dummy link that goes nowhere, per your claim? Absolutely not.
