Has anyone had an issue with saabsite.com and their privacy policies?
I just received an email message from saabsite.com (from whom I've purchased parts on-line after learning about them on TSN), announcing a new site they've launched. In the "To:" field of the message, 1690 email addresses are visible (including my own), most likely pulled from their customer datbase.
This is a complete violation of their privacy policy, and shows complete irresponsibility on behalf of an e-tailer.
Scott - if saabsite.com is an advertiser on the site, I hope you will reconsider allowing them to run promotions / or even classifieds until they can prove systems are in place to protect users confidential information. Whether or not this was a clerical error or one made out of "tech ignorance" is a moot point. Who knows what other information they could accidently release from their database.
Does anyone else feel this violation should be reported to privacy organizations that monitor e-tailers on the web?
