> One user, who goes by Monica, wrote in a post on her personal blog that Glassdoor added her name and the city where she lives to her Glassdoor profile following an email exchange with Glassdoor customer support, despite having never provided her name during the sign-up process some years earlier. Monica, whose last name we’re not publishing to protect her privacy, accused Glassdoor of getting her full name from the email she sent to customer support, which she says they added to her Glassdoor profile.

Straight Talk wireless tirelessly attempted to get your mailing info and other such; any time you called them for any reason. It only took 2 questions before i went "do you need this? because you're not verifying anything i gave you before, since i didn't"

I have no idea if it's still that anonymous.
