Update to inkfrok Sharing information with EBAY 'watchout'

[xhan]

I just received this from inkfrog:

Hello,

We would like to inform you of a recent update made to inkFrog's Privacy Policy. While this update is very small and more of a formality, we wanted to notify our customers of the change to ensure full transparency.

Why are we updating?

The reason for this update was so that we can better assist our customers, as well as offer them promotions which would of otherwise been unavailable. We understand that our customers privacy is very important, and is why we chose what we share with a lot of consideration. The information we share is only used with the intent to help our customers become more successful. It's also information that is already available to the sharing party, thus, this is more of a formality update. If you wish to opt out of this update, you are able to by following the instructions at the bottom of this email.

The update to inkFrog's Privacy Policy includes a small change which allows us to share some information with eBay on your account. Again, this update will be used only for data collection, promotional efforts, and overall eBay help. The information we may share with eBay includes, but is not limited to;

inkFrog Account Holder Name
inkFrog Account Holder’s eBay ID
Email address associated with inkFrog account
Phone number associated with inkFrog account

As as result of this update to our privacy policy an eBay rep may contact you regarding, but not limited to; promotional efforts, account support and review, general eBay support and/or overall selling guidelines. One example where we may share data would be a promotion whereby you, the seller, may benefit from certain discounts or partnerships being offered by inkFrog or eBay. We may also share general statistics.

Note, since our relationship with eBay is that of a third party (which uses eBay's API), what is being shared is already known by eBay. We are updating our privacy policy more as a formality, but a formality which allows us to work with eBay openly, in a manner which helps our customers.

Click here to be taken directly to inkFrog Privacy Policy.

To opt out of basic account information sharing with eBay when logged into your inkFrog account, go to "Account", uncheck " Please keep me up to date from eBay. ".

We appreciate your business. Thank you for being a valued inkFrog customer!

Looks like we need to be careful if you are using inkfrog

There is an optout clause, could be just a red herring

Yep, IF is not longer good to be used because they can stealthly "share" account information from IF to eB. For people who operated multiple eB accs through one IF acc - stay away from this, its not safer anymore.

One eB per one IF acc is fine (no matter if the 'tick' on the settings is put or removed, they DO share account info).
