Without clear statements on this I would have to either not use the service or first mail a postcard to myself, wasting resources if the service is truly free.

- icebraining 11y agoI don't get it, addresses are public, no? I suppose the name isn't, but you could just as well use just the initials or something.
- likethemoon 11y agoHi, Thanks for the interest. The project is not commercial for now and this is a thing between friends. So no worries about spam and advertising. We are truly based on donations. thx.
- bmir-alum-007 11y agoThat's not the issue. Is the uncertainty of unwittingly signing yourself or the recipient up for junkmail or yourself for more spam.
- Symbiote 11y agoExactly. If the website were European, I'd expect a tick-box to opt out from marketing (email or snail mail), which the company would be bound by.
- likethemoon 11y agothx for the suggestions, we added a line to the form "We are truly based on donations.you will get no ads and no spam. thx"
- bmir-alum-007 11y agoAh cool. Also, what data is collected permanently, for how long? What happens if the venture where acquired? Whom would own that?
- likethemoon 11y agoas posted on the website no data is stored. Data is not shared/sold. if we get donations this will keep working, otherwise we will close it. this is it.
