Re: SunRocket Sold Mailing Info!!

There was lots of proof and documentation in this forum. Many of us had unique email addresses for Sunrocket only and began receiving crazy spam on those private email addresses - all at the same time.

It's just the kind of company we're dealing with. Nothing was sacred. Keep an eye on your credit card statements for any mysterious charges in coming months.
good enough for me

bankrupt or not, I believe a company has to operate under the policies it sets forth unless it a) sends out a modification of policy or b) ceases to operate as that company. if b occurs and you get spam, then you track down the -individual- in that company who sold it and procecute under the CAN spam act. It would really be no different than suing the Spam King.

Just in case it was news to anyone, "privacy policies" don't actually.... mean anything... there's no repercussion, as far as I know, for violating one. It just means they're scumbags.
You are misinformed. There are legal consequences - expecially if the violation/breach is not disclosed - see »www.eplaw.us/data/RisingDuty.pdf

IANAL, but the author is. And he represents me.

Yeah, "LawMage" said as much back on Page 2, citing the Toysmart case. Still, that case rested in part on child protection. I see your link (I only read the Google cached version to avoid possible PDF infection) centers mostly on security breaches rather than violations by the provider itself, but they do get into privacy policy issues about page 24 or so.

It's good to see violators are held accountable in a few circumstances, although it does seem to center more around "false advertising" than any real, accountable set of rules for abiding customer privacy or adhering to a "privacy policy" -- whatever that actually is. In other words, the "privacy policy" isn't necessarily any more meaningful or enforceable than a banner on the web site reading "we have the shiniest equipment". It seems to be treated as merely another form of published ad or promise. So I hope that's enough. Thanks for the link...

Same here,

I've received a US mail from Vonage indicating I was a former Sunrocket customer and I can jump to Vonage with a promo. I have never received mailers from Vonage in the past.
