I don't follow.
Once you have factual information about what has been done it's no longer speculation.
Lumosity isn't going to come out and tell the world exactly how they process and/or sell user data any more than Walmart or Google is.
In practice, such business process information is only ever revealed in court, so all we'll ever have is speculation and logic plus the typically vague, permissive privacy policy terms which gave shape to it.
- eli 12y agoJust trying to temper the mob mentality. Most businesses could (read: could probably get away with) selling your personal data. But that doesn't mean they do. There is no market for e.g. what types of stories you read on a news site. People also tend to overestimate the value of their data. Postal mailing addresses are worth a bit. Email addresses a lot less. Your luminosity score, I would imagine, is almost worthless to anyone besides luminosity and perhaps a direct competitor.
