This is kind of creepy, I registered this morning and started practicing with the trivial exercises, I didn't fill anything special in the registration form besides the username, and now — around six hours later — my profile has been automatically updated with an association to my university and country (which I also didn't select when I signed up). I am not surprised by the country selection, they can easily get that information with a good GeoIP database, but I wonder who did they get the name of my university, maybe from LinkedIn since it is the only place that I am aware of contains that information. Kattis seems like a fun project nonetheless, but these two things scared me out a little bit.
