While this seems like a great idea, their privacy policy [1] has me slightly worried: > We collect and use the personal directory data on your device to provide
the App’s functionality, to improve our services, and in some instances, to contact you.
This directory data includes, but is not limited to information in your address book such
as your contact record IDs, contact names, phone numbers, and email addresses. The
App will not collect your contacts’ addresses or zip code. By downloading the App, you
consent to our use of this data. So they won't collect addresses or zip code (why are those separate?). That means they likely will collect name & phone number (which, if landline, means they have address as well), and any other information in the contact card (relationship, company, job title, etc). I would want to see the vast majority of that anonymized–or, better yet, not collected at all–before I'd consent to using this. So yeah, great idea, but don't be data-greedy. No thanks.
