This kinda comes off like you’re trying to ridicule the comment or minimise their concerns, but the fact is that, if you’re going to do a data grab, you absolutely should have a way for people to have you remove that data.
The fact you freely admit there’s no unsubscribe link (so I guess no way to have you remove an email address from whatever list you’re building) is not a good look at all IMO.
Personal data (even if it’s just email addresses right now) are probably a thing you want to respect, and be seen to respect. Personally I’m glad my spidey-senses kicked in and made me hit “cancel” on the oauth before I came here to read the comments.
- mintone 3y agoI understand what you are saying. I should clarify my comment. - All users can delete their accounts (and all related data) at https://www.ringerhq.com/user/profile https://www.ringerhq.com/user/profile which is accessible from the dashboard - We have deliberately not created a marketing list because I don't believe that is what the open source community wants, nor needs, from what we are doing here. I emailed OP and other users requesting feedback on the original version of the CV, not to market anything. I appreciate that Ringer is not for everyone, and that's OK - there is no pressure to use the site. However, I do have a duty to defend what we are (and are not) doing. This is not a data grab - it's an attempt to build something that returns value to the open source community. If people have fears or concerns about what we are building then I do genuinely want to hear them, both to understand and attempt to mitigate for the same, and where necessary allay them.
- lloydatkinson 3y agoWhy does this even need OAuth realistically? Scrape the GitHub profile, in a queue, so not to spam GitHub.
