The terms of service privacy statement looks pretty good, except for this part:
"In some cases, we may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, customer information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred. Moreover, if Hunch, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, customer information would be one of the assets that is transferred."
Anyone know if in contract law, there is a way to infect all future contracts with certain stipulations, such as, `user data will not be used to spam said users until the end of time`
It's conceivable that if a marketing agency were to purchase hunch, they'd have the ultimate weapon for targeting consumers.
- idoh 17y agoI'm having trouble coming up with a legal theory where users could sue the 3rd party acquirer under contract law. As an alternative, how about IP law? The user could own the information, and grant a nonexclusive license to hunch.com to use it strictly for running hunch.com and no other purpose. If hunch.com later sold that information to a 3rd party, one could go to the 3rd party and get it back, because the property was never hunch's to give.
