lastpass' privacy policy is very privacy hostile. They're now aggressively offering a free product with the ability to monitor (and sell) all browsing behavior tied to you as an individual (thanks to LogMeIn).
>How We Use the Information We Collect and Receive
>LogMeIn may access (which may include, with your consent, limited viewing or listening) and use the data we collect as necessary (a) to provide and maintain the Services; (b) to address and respond to service, security, and customer support issues; (c) to detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security, unlawful, or technical issues; (d) as required by law; (e) to fulfill our contracts; (f) to improve and enhance the Services; (g) to provide analysis or valuable information back to our Customers and users. [1]
(e) is a very broad and loosely defined category. A contract can include Anything and this ambigious statement enables LogMeIn to inturn do anything with data they collect from all their services (including Lastpass).
In the new firefox updates, Lastpass won't let you open/run the extension until you provide it the abiltiy to monitor all browsing behavior (whereas on chrome I have it restricted to monitor sites when the extension is clicked/activated)... I will not be renewing my premium service and am looking to migrate away to another service.

- jsutton 7y agoLastPass only collects data on how you use the product and how well the product works. It doesn't collect info about your sites or browsing activity.
- propogandist 7y agoSays who? It's governed by this privacy policy and will not work until it has browsing and tab data
