But, seriously. Thanks for the response Chris, its cool that you’re clarifying the use of data - more for emergency purposes only. And awesome to see an agency introduce services like this, as well as trust their collective community to represent them online!

As regards your point #2, it may come as a surprise, and is perhaps hard to believe, but the only reason the privacy policy makes mention of the right to make use of user’s information is simply to protect us from getting in a fix in the rare event that something calamitous happens and we need to use it for ongoing management and administration of the app. We will not be shareing any user information with clients, partners, or anyone else whose sole purpose for having this information is anything more than the required ongoing management and administration of the app. We’re going to be amending the privacy policy to say as much.

Also thanks for noticing the bravery required to allow all employees direct access to the corporate site. Wasn’t easy.

I think these kinds of applications have a right to scrape and bundle their information to better their products and generate revenue as long as they don’t share specifics. And if you don’t think of yourself as a total lab rat the tools are really cool!
