#2I just got one of these exact same emails. It may not be illegal in the U.S., but it makes me extremely dislike the company using the tactic.

Could you post the headers or the ip the email came from? I want to block that range from my email server.

#4That and the fact that any app you download now adds you to their newsletter list. Just because I wanted to try your app, it doesn't mean I want to get tons e-mails from your company. It's so frustrating I stopped trying apps, and instead only download what I really need and/or trust.

#5Probably more evil than the practice described in the article is at the very end. In order to get them to stop, or not start in the first place, you have to give them your email address. So you have to trust them with the very thing you want them to stop abusing. No thanks. The real answer is a very strict ad blocker. On all your devices. Every time you browse.
The only way to keep your personal information safe is to not share it in the first place. Pass all the laws you want and require all the layers of security you can imagine but your data is still not safe; it will eventually get leaked. Either through the actions of hackers, intentional or unintentional leaks, security bugs, or utter incompetence of some human that has legal access to it.

The App Store doesn't share the customer's email with the app developer, how does this happen?

#8I completely agree that this is an abhorrent practice, but I don't believe that legislation is the answer. Just because someone annoys you, does not mean you need to involve legal precedent.

#9Amazon seems to be annoying in this area.
I look at a product out of curiosity.
Get stuck seeing the same product ads for days everywhere including FB, etc.
and yes I use Ublock, Ghostery etc.

A lot of apps require email to sign up...
