i did not understand what is this. A better introduction on what it does will more likely make me register and give you my data. If i do not know exactly what are you going to do i will never let you get in my account. More info.

There's a link above the FB login button named "what will you do with my data?":

-----

* We go through all of your friends and see which one's have a defined relationship status.

* For each friend we take everything they like and run it against our database to determine which like reflects their relationship status.

* If we don't have any data, we choose a random like and hope it's funny.

The only data we keep are combinations of relationship statuses and likes.

So why did you need permission to post on my wall? As soon as I saw that, I closed the window.
We have an option that says "Notify friend when I agree or disagree" to promote virality. It defaults to false, but I should clarify this in the note.
I also closed it the second it asked to post on my wall. You need to make it ask when you intend on doing it, because there's no way I will ever sign up for an app that asks to post on my wall.

let alone when I have no idea what they do.

just some feedback.. that link is microscopic next to the huge add FB button.. no one's going to notice that.. ( I didn't until you pointed it out)
