>We do not share your personal information with people or services you don't want. Clearly that's incorrect, because the complainer didn't want you to have his personal information. Also the statement "We may use your Personal Information as we believe to be necessary or appropriate in any manner permitted under applicable law, including laws outside your country of residence" clearly gives you the right to sell his personal information to anyone.

  Isn't it kind of a given that when you give your email address to a service, that you are allowing that service to contact you? Otherwise what's the point of having the address?

    I haven't used this app but I think the parent had expected that the data he entered would be confined to the application, not sent to the app developer. Simple analogy: Would you expect Microsoft to harvest every e-mail address you enter into Outlook?
    - Karunamon 14y ago
      Outlook is an application, not a web connected service, though. If I enter my email address when signing up for, say, Office Live, I'd expect to see a Microsoft email in my inbox every now and then.

        Would you expect Google to send emails to people whose addresses have been entered into Gmail?
        Karunamon 14y ago
        No, but that's not what happened here. You filled out your personal card which will be shared out with everyone you "bump" with. I haven't used the app, but I'd assume this fills some kind of registration function.

        Bump emailed the guy that used their service. Your stretching the analogy a bit much.

I hope you realize that this response completely fails to address his complaint.
