If you worry about privacy (like I do), here is what you are signing up for (based on my interpretation of their privacy policies and facebook privacy policies). I am not a lawyer, so don't rely on this for legal advice. 1) When you use their site (Mission Small Business, which appears to be both LivingSocial.com and Chase Bank) they can collect anything you do and enter. Nothing new here, you are giving the site info, just like every other site. They can geolocate your IP address, track you if you view other sites they have purchased adds on (for example a news site), etc. You can pretend this is creepy big brother if you want, but it's par for the course and what makes the internet work. It's the same as putting a return mail address on an envelope or calling somebody on the phone who has caller ID. Not trivial, but your absolute right to privacy ends the moment you interact with a third party. From there its a "shared" concern between privacy and the ability to interact. 2) They get your email address. 3) They can post to your facebook wall at any time. You can remove this ability at any time in the future through facebook settings. 4) Any of your friends who interact with anything you posted (or they posted) on your wall relative to this mission small business program are also giving some information to mission small business (without any explicit consent beyond normal facebook settings). Again, somewhat of a privacy concern, but if you choose to have a conversation with someone (real or virtual), your absolute privacy starts to erode (a choice you made by interacting). 5) Chase bank and Living Social get some personal demographic information about you from Facebook. Age, income, probably some other stuff. Probably pretty much what you have chosen to show to anyone on facebook you have befriended. So at the end of the day, you have basically friended Chase Bank and Living Social. In return, if they win, Chase Bank will give a quarter of a million dollar grant to EBR. Seems reasonable to me... and I like these kind of "win-win" programs focused on causes I like (such as enabling small businesses). Chase Bank has a lot of information about me anyway, and can buy it from a number of companies without my consent already, so in the whole scope of things it doesn't change much. And I want an EBR Hybrid, dangit! (Message edited by reepicheep on June 28, 2012) |
