Will they rent/lease/lend/share my data out to partners/non partners/anyone? I understand they clearly state they won’t sell the data or use it (themselves) for ad targeting, but their wording doesn’t cover rental to others.
- CoryG89 8y agoMaybe I'm a little naive, but to me, "renting" data sounds a lot like just selling data.
- natch 8y agoRight... but it’s a known dark pattern for companies to make deceptive-but-technically-true assurances, so I’m not so sure. They do it because it works, as evidenced by what you say. I do tend to trust Cloudflare to do what they say, but they should say it with full clarity.
- zackbloom 8y agoNo. We (Cloudflare) barely even store the data, we get rid of it as fast as we can.
- natch 8y agoOK, that's great. Just as feedback to the company, if you're able to pass it on to someone, as a potential user I would feel more confident in the service if they would clarify the wording (not just from a Hacker News account, I mean). From a user's perspective outside the company it's hard to distinguish between weasel words, and the mere appearance of weasel words.

- natch 8y ago"Sell" does not cover rent, trade, share, lease, give, etc. Period.
