#40This requires me not just to absolutely trust trustfabric, but to trust that they're security is bulletproof and that their identity reclamation mechanisms such carefully engineered paragons defence in depth. Given their admittedly very clear privacy policy does not rule out selling your information in aggregate or in detail nor changing the policy without explicit notification they've fallen before the first hurdle.…
