FW: Fwd: [Tantrism] is Selling Your Personal Information

[Guest guest]

I realize that this is off the highly spiritual tone of this list, please

forgive me. But I felt that this was important information about new

policies which significantly reduce privacy...

 

PLEASE READ THIS, IF YOU DON'T READ ANYTHING ELSE.

 

IS SELLING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION.

 

I checked this out on my own accounts and it is true. If you don't want to

be receiving a lot of junk mail and having your info sold to any and

everyone, make sure that you take care of this. The letter is as follows:

 

This has been floating around the livejournal community the last

24 hours and I thought you guys would like to know:

 

-----------------------------

 

ATTENTION USERS - Check Your Profile for Marketing Preferences!!!

If You Have A Account, {Mail, Groups, Anything}

Your Profile Has Recently Been Modified By To Allow Sale Of

Your Personal Information - or anything false you may have entered.

 

anyway, i saw the following notice on a Group and *i* have

personally confirmed this to have happened to my accounts. the

only ones that do not have this change are the ones signed up for at

UK. i have just freaked out and changed my marketing preferences

from all "Yes!"

 

go to http://edit.my. , log in, click on "Account Settings"

in the upper right corner. you will need to confirm log-in. look at your

profile: immediately under your e-mail addresses you will see "Edit My

Marketing Preferences."

 

the defaults are "Yes" for every newsletter and to allow sale/trade of any

address or phone information.

When was down for 3 days a few weeks ago a major change was made

that they didn't tell ANYONE about. They have added "Marketing

preferences" to your list of user preferences. It asks which

offers and emails you wish to recieve, but the default is YES, so your

preferences are set so that may sell your name and email address

to whomeverthey wish. The only way to stop this is to edit your

preferences, but so few people even KNOW about this that no one

is doing it, so is making a tidy sum selling

your information *with your legal permisson*.

 

It doesn't stop there, they are also selling your real

home address and phone in the same manner. If you scroll to the bottom

of the page it asks if you want to recieve offers at your home address and

phone.

 

Again, the default setting is YES. I recommend that

anyone who has a account, immediately go to your preferences

in and change the Marketing Preferences setting (it's in the

same section as your email addresses).

PS: You can also take care of this from your mailbox by clicking on OPTIONS

and then going to ACCOUNT PREFERENCES
