Write to the company and ask for clarification and an option to opt-out.
This has three benefits: 1) they may give you additional information what exactly they are doing 2) they get information that their customers find it suspicious and may clarify it for everyone and 3) they may actually add an option to opt out
- red_throwaway 4y agoThis is great advice!
- zdragnar 4y agoWhat's more likely is a help desk tech will see the email, maybe ask their boss about it, and ultimately write back that there is no option to opt out. They're not going to provide you with more information, because that would limit their ability to do something in the future (especially since the person writing the response isn't a product manager or engineer and doesn't know anything about it anyway). It's worth a shot, if you don't mind the time to write a quick message; I'm just skeptical that anyone would actually pass the message up the chain that their legal boilerplate noone ever reads is vaguely unsettling.
- ipaddr 4y agoWrite the CEO directly
- Jon_Lowtek 4y agoand hope they pass it down the chain? write to their privacy officer, contact details can be found here: red.com/legal
- chx 4y agoIf you want anything to actually to happen get a lawyer to write that mail. The goal is to talk to RED legal and that won't happen if you shoot them a quick email.
