I think you're probably right - the nice thing about Unroll.Me though is that it works really well and the people that need to use it are probably in a bad situation with their data anyway.
I ended up using it to clean up my mom's email inbox because she was subscribed to nearly a thousand marketing emails and it was the only service I found that could actually fix that without at least a day's worth of manual effort.
- ocdtrekkie 9y agoOut of curiosity: Was your mother fully informed of how much data about her you were giving to Unroll.me, and did she understand the implications of it?
- pulse7 9y ago<sarcasm>Of course: the time gained by using Untoll.Me - "at least a day's worth of manual effort" - can be used for reading their Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, for analysing, understanding and explaining all the implications...</sarcasm>
- fossuser 9y agoThis was prior to their bad press so it was not obvious to me at the time. I think I saw they used anonymized data from commercial emails which seemed like a reasonable tradeoff given the state of things. My mom does not use email for personal data - it's primarily just subscriptions and the account had become unusable.
