One minor niggle: I can definitely agree with calling shenanigans if a company doesn't make it clear they have no plans to sell my email address, but honesty about planning to get hacked - from a "this is what we will do" standpoint, but also from a perspective that doesn't flat-out rule out "that will never happen" - is honestly something I would find very refreshing to hear. A lot of environments prioritize mitigating the hypothetical liability risk associated with those kinds of big words rather than communicating that type of boldness that comes across as reassuringly supportive and resilient.

This being said, I wouldn't have minded being a fly on the wall listening to that conversation :P
