Not certain how willing I'd be to send a third party the unhashed email address of every (or even just a few) signups. Seems to be a big privacy violation and the users of the sites that use this should clearly state what they are doing.
I know tracking companies were getting in a lot of trouble for just having hashed versions of emails sent out and a lot of users of those sites were very mad. I'd be pissed if my email was being sent along without my knowledge.
EDIT: Outside the privacy risk though this actually looks really neat and helpful. I'm assuming this is using the rapportive API or something very similar. Neat service, just too many privacy risks for me to use it.
- gwintrob 13y agoThanks for the feedback, selectout. We use the email address to lookup data we've indexed and return all the research you would be doing anyways. We'll never contact email addresses you send us or share them with anyone.
- selectout 13y agoDo you store any association of email addresses and what sites send them to you or is all of that just dropped immediately? Also, thanks for replying! Great to see you don't just avoid the privacy issues like others do at times.
- gwintrob 13y agoWe do store the email addresses an account sends so that we can show you a dashboard of the signups on your site. It's also on our roadmap to add a hashed endpoint.
