I looked on their website, Frequently Asked Questions, and even hovered over text like "Unroll.me is a free service" in order to find a disclosure. I could not find ANY disclosures whatsoever. Nowhere does Unroll.me disclose that they sell your emails to the highest bidder. I wish we had a FTC that could bankrupt Unroll.me's previous and current founders and executives. Absolutely despicable behaviour.

Terms of Service pointed me to their Privacy Policy. Privacy Policy indicated the following: > We also collect non-personal information − data in a form that does not permit direct association with any specific individual. We may collect, use, transfer, sell, and disclose non-personal information for any purpose. For example, when you use our services, we may collect data from and about the “commercial electronic mail messages” and “transactional or relationship messages” (as such terms are defined in the CAN-SPAM Act (15 U.S.C. 7702 et. seq.) that are sent to your email accounts. We collect such commercial transactional messages so that we can better understand the behavior of the senders of such messages, and better understand our customer behavior and improve our products, services, and advertising. We may disclose, distribute, transfer, and sell such messages and the data that we collect from or in connection with such messages; provided, however, if we do disclose such messages or data, all personal information contained in such messages will be removed prior to any such disclosure. Damningly, if they're collecting and disclosing transaction details, they're also technically conveying personal information given the ease by which identities can be reversed from this sort of data.
