Privacy policy says something quite a bit different:

> We may use your data to create aggregate or statistical information that does not directly identify a specific person, and we may share that information

So no selling of your personal data, but they hope to sell aggregated data. Privacy policy also has quite a lot of details about a possible merge / buyout, and non-responsibility in this scenario, so they may hope to amass some data as _freemium_ and then to sell the whole company for a nice profit.

But wait:

  We *may* use your data to create aggregate or statistical information that does not directly identify a specific person, and we *may* share that information.
This doesn't say they won't sell your data, it just says they might anonymise it.

They do say:

  [We do not share your information] with any third parties so they can market to you
But what can 3rd parties themselves share that info for marketing.. I'm not sure..
