Ask HN: What PII is Scribd likely to get after Slideshare acquisition?
I just received an email from Slideshare that Scriptd will start operating September 24, and after that their Privacy Policy [0] and ToS [1] will apply.
Opting out means you have to close your account before that date. I will probably do that as the Scribd policy does not sit well with me (but I am no lawyer so what do I know).
Does anyone know what information they're likely to receive? Would it be full LinkedIn profile data, since they might have merged profiles for their services?

- rapnie 6y agoI am searching for the Close Account section still, but just did a JSON export of my data. This seems to hold little data and has following structure: { "slideshows_uploaded": [ ], "comments": [ ], "following_users": [ ], "account_registration": { "created_at": "", "email": "", "first_name": null, "last_name": null, "login": "", "occupation": null, "organization": null, "about": "", "website": null, "industry": "", "profile_photo_url": "" }, "contact_details": { "twitter": null, "facebook": null, "linkedin": null, "gplus": null, "city": null, "region": null, "country": null } }
