> Facebook said protecting the privacy of its users was of the utmost importance to it and it had clear guidelines about how information obtained from the site should be used.

> Section 3.15 of Facebook’s platform policy states that the social media site’s data should not be used to “make decisions about eligibility, including whether to approve or reject an application or how much interest to charge on a loan”.

Well, that didn't last long.

So what happens if the user consents to giving that data up?

As in: "Welcome to Admiral. We're going to charge you X. If you want the possibility of being charged less, give us your Facebook and Twitter passwords."
