MSQ surprise
 
I love MISSOURI STAR QUILT CO. JENNY HAS THE BEST TUTORIAL AND GREAT DEALS.
I received a request to rate one of the items I purchased. So I decided to check their privacy policy. There is NO PRIVACY in their policy.
They tell you that they will share your personal information with their affiliates And THIRD PARTY entities.
I was really surprised. Obviously, they are selling our information. The response is got back when I complained , "sorry we offended you".
what? Word to the wise, these days we need to be more vigilant about our personal information.
I will never send a review of any of their products.

I just read their entire privacy policy and I see no red flags. It looks pretty standard to me.

Wow! TU for the info.
I recentlycontacted them that I've used their tutorial for lthe skateboards to make 5 quilts for roject Linus. Then sent me a discount code for$10.00 off a $25.00 purchase. So I went shopping, found items on sale that would be great for more quilts only to find out since the items were already discounted could not use the $10.00. Customer service said to comtact them with my order and they would see if they could get the discount to apply....could see? I just let it go HOWEVER I did try to use the coupon a week later and computer said code had already be used. Now I just watch their tutorials to make quilts.

Everyone that has shopped online has their info on many lists. A review doesn't need your real name or email anyway. Sometimes I'm Ms. Buttercup or Proud Mary. LOL

While reading this thread I notice two images on the right - they're of the last few items I searched on Google... There is no such thing as 'privacy' anymore...

The company that owns this forum has a privacy statement. Ever read it?

My experience was specifically with the review request. It clearly states their use of my personal, information.

Yes, they disappointed me long time ago. But these days everyone sells information. everyone!

I know what you mean. I am so careful on what I put my phone number, e-mail address, etc. It seems you get flooded with all kinds of stuff on your computer/phone. Nothing is truly free out there.

When we moved 5 years ago, I thought, as we were getting a brand new phone number, we might have some peace from unwanted calls, scammers, etc. No dice - we were flooded with junk within the week. So the phone company must also sell that info. When someone asks for my e-mail or phone number I don't give it out unless absolutely necessary as for Dr. or clinic info.

Use a phone number that is a recording, like the weather. No online registration for shops, forums, groups need your personal phone number. That is used for selling info.
