That's not the issue. Is the uncertainty of unwittingly signing yourself or the recipient up for junkmail or yourself for more spam.

Exactly.

If the website were European, I'd expect a tick-box to opt out from marketing (email or snail mail), which the company would be bound by.

thx for the suggestions, we added a line to the form

"We are truly based on donations.you will get no ads and no spam. thx"

[bmir-alum-007]

Ah cool.

Also, what data is collected permanently, for how long? What happens if the venture where acquired? Whom would own that?

[likethemoon]

as posted on the website no data is stored. Data is not shared/sold. if we get donations this will keep working, otherwise we will close it. this is it.
