A representative contacted me today regarding the email I sent them to express my disappointment that they sold my personal information, contrary to their own privacy policy.
To be honest, I was surprised anyone contacted me. Kudos for them for trying.
In a nutshell, the representative explained to me:
- That my "personal information" was not given out, only my name, contact information and information about a transaction. My "private information" -- my bank account information wasn't released.
- He would be more than happy to "opt me out" of future releases.
- There are a limited number of affiliates, but they are looking to build additional marketing relationships (ie., sell the information to other companies).
- He seemed to read the privacy policy to mean that they can sell the information, just not the "private information".
Tonight I got home and re-read the privacy policy, and it seems pretty obviously that the flagrantly violated it.
