There is no explanation of how you use my email address before providing it. If this is a free service then I assume that I am the product. There is no privacy policy. Conventional wisdom would say that only a fool would enter their address to that form. I could check the copyright or the whois and try to track down some semblance of trustworthiness but on its face this is too suspicious to trust with contact information.

Hi there sorry about that - to clarify, there _is_ a paid upgrade (the core product is, and always will be, free). To be clear, we in no way sell your information to 3rd parties.

I apologize there is no privacy policy in place at the moment. I will get that in place ASAP.

EDIT: You can find our privacy policy here: https://adventurekeep.com/privacy

I see the privacy policy is available through the site now, thanks for the update.

That's a bit judgmental isn't it? What if I don't care as much as you about my email address being shared?
