Basically you/your information can now be sold off if they feel like they need the cash. I deleted my address book, credit cards, removed all my subscriptions and changed my email to a hotmail account and deleted my name.
I sent them an email at [email protected] letting them know that their new privacy policy has led me to put them at the bottom mof my shopping list. Perhaps if enough paying customers do so they'll realize their bottom line is indeed in jeopardy.
