The "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" clicky
Has anyone else noticed an "Internet Brands" "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" clicky on the lower right of the forum?
Did the forum sell? Did the forum owner opt to use new software that allows the software supplier to harvest our information?
This is very alarming! If the User Agreement has changed to allow harvesting of our data, including contact information, photos posted, etc., then how do we request this information and our accounts be deleted?

this is the current Privacy Policy.

it seems ok to me.
unless my POC tells me differently, I think we are still safe. :-)
