>anonymized It would be much bigger news if they were selling data that could be used against the consumers on an individual basis.
"Hmm, 90% of this anonymous guy rides start/end at this residential address which the public property deed says it's registered to Mr. John Smith, I wonder who this anonymous guy could be."

I worked for a company that nearly acquired unroll.me. At the time, which was over three years ago, they had kept a copy of every single email of yours that you sent or received while a part of their service. Those emails were kept in a series of poorly secured S3 buckets. A large part of Slice buying unroll.me was for access to those email archives. Specifically, they wanted to look for keyword trends and for receip…
Is this answer on their FAQ an outright lie, then? https://unrollme.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/200243036-If-... > we don't store any of your emails on our servers. Either way, I just deleted my Unroll.me account and revoked access to my Gmail account. I don't think there's anything the company can do to ever get me back as a user.

That's so far outside of what is acceptable that it should be actionable in some way and I sincerely hope Google cuts them off at the knees. Aren't you breaking an NDA by posting this? (If so, extra kudos to you!)
> I haven't been a part of that company for several years now, and did not have any legal agreements or first party relationship with either of the companies named above, and since the deal closed since with Slice it would be difficult for anyone to allege damages.
And if all this disappears, then yes, someone did attack me legally over it. I don't like the business culture that has built up around this kind of thing -- reputation is important, so let's defend it with lots of lawyers and NDAs, but it's too much effort to be up front about business practices that might give us a bad reputation. That's bullshit.

I'll quote what I said elsewhere: > I haven't been a part of that company for several years now, and did not have any legal agreements or first party relationship with either of the companies named above, and since the deal closed since with Slice it would be difficult for anyone to allege damages.

I'm seriously conflicted about this because I too have seen some extremely horrible stuff in the last couple of years, some of which I'm quite sure would rock the world orders of magnitude worse than what unroll.me has been up to and that was secured roughly in the same way (or maybe even worse) and with data best qualified as 'radioactive'. I do sign NDAs and I stick to them religiously but it is very hard at times to do that. Even so I understand that I'd make life miserable for those that employ me if I'd ever break an NDA.

If they sell your receipt data to Uber, who else might they sell it to? An insurance company? A hedge fund? Your bank?

That might also be a case of an article that's written from the point of view of one feature ("what happens if I delete") and not what's going on under the hood. There are other references to deleting data stored with unroll.me, e.g. When you go through the delete steps you need to do it in a particular order so that data on their side is removed, as discussed in another comment thread.

Seriously? Show me a ride hailing UX similar to Uber's at the time Uber launched...
I don't think Uber's UX has ever been great.
But who knows? Do the riders and the drivers really need Uber or Lyft?

If so, I don't see how anyone can get any serious work done there.
