I'd add that this is all too common with data/analytics startups I've seen. I've seen instances where the first thing they asked you to do is link your Google Analytics account. No privacy/data security policy worth speaking of, no info on the team, nothing.

For anyone who deals with this data (analytics, financial, etc.) for their company, particularly if it isn't of the "two guys in a garage with no real revenue" variety, we take data super seriously. I could lose my job (or worse, get sued) if I was negligent in handing out sensitive company data in a way that put the company at risk (let alone actually caused monetary damage to the business).

A clear privacy policy, details on the team and information about where the HQ is located (so I can make sure they are in my legal jurisdiction should it ever come to that) are the absolute minimum IMHO.

Physical location and about the team is a great point. Appreciate it!
