Re: New Privacy Statement I find it a hard pill to swallow. I would think that one could opt out of such things just as I can my bank.
Effective immediately, Speakeasy is changing the Privacy and Security section of your Service Addendum and the Privacy Policy of the Master Service Agreement. These changes will allow Speakeasy to share your customer data with affiliated companies, including our parent company Best Buy and its subsidiaries. We are committed to protecting your personal information and will only share it for the purpose of providing products and/or services to you.
Sounds to me that in allowing Best Buy and its subsideries to have all my info for 'providing products' to me is basically saying that they can Spam me to death with offers unless I opt out of getting announcements from SE. 
Also, who are these subsideries? Why do they need my information in that no service or goods are needed by me from them. All I found in a quick Google were these:

| Thanks for providing the extremely broad list of parties Speakeasy wants to give my private info to. I just got off the phone to Speakeasy and have requested the opt out. The option still is not listed under My Speak. I have way too much spam as it is. Speakeasy's spam filter is having trouble keeping up as things stand now | |

| It's too bad that one has to opt out of all announcements from SE to be safe from all their subsiderie's Spamming, particularly the company that bought them out, Best Buy, which I would rather not have to black list for my filtering. Unless there is an option to opt out of their giving all my info to everyone, (and if there is, I didn't see it) SE is really pushing the limit, IMHO. | |
