A Privacy Policy We Can Live Without
We tend to publish all comments unless they're spam, and sometimes we publish them as well, just for fun.
Last week, we received a response to one of our posts that contained a link to a site called "The Personal Money Store," which specializes in something called "No Fax Payday Loans." Regardless of the wisdom of payday loans, what really caught our attention was the privacy policy, which we've reproduced in part below. You can read it in full here.
We collect all the information you provide to us while on our Website. This includes your name, date of birth, telephone number(s), home address, Email address, Social Security number, employment information, income information, bank account information, personal references, and any other information that you provide to us.
Through your use and submission of information on our Website, you agree that even if your number is found on a do-not-call registry, or similar registry, you may be contacted in any manner contemplated in this section. We reserve the right to share, sell or otherwise disclose your information to third parties.
If you want to opt-out from receiving communications from us and/or our third-party partners, please do not submit any of your information to us. When you submit personally identifiable information while visiting our Website, you have automatically opted-in, meaning that you are requesting that we share your personal information with third parties.
At least they're open about it.
