Some Privacy/Security concerns - 2008/06/25 16:55
Not to be paranoid, but "utilize" for what purpose? What defines a third party as being one that is "acting on behalf of FREEDIALUP.ORG"?
From the Terms and Conditions page (http://www.freedialup.org/site/content/view/21/26/):
Collection and Use of Personal Information.
FREEDIALUP.ORG will collect, store, compile and utilize information about you, your computer, your phone number and your use of the FREEDIALUP.ORG Services including, without limitation, information regarding the Web sites you visit. However, FREEDIALUP.ORG will not disclose your name, address, telephone number, credit card number(s), e-mail addresses or other personal identifying information to third parties other than those acting on behalf of FREEDIALUP.ORG, unless you give FREEDIALUP.ORG consent to do so or except as may be required by law.
There also is language saying that you can change service conditions, including fees at will. Doesn't this mean in theory that one could at some point get a surprise bill in the mail?
Again, sorry if this sounds a bit paranoid, but this the internet after all, and internet experience trains one to be less than trusting, especially when it comes to seemingly free deals (especially when it's not obvious how the deal could have a net benefit for the company), so it's nothing personal against this company.
