I read about GotVoice from this positive review on techcrunch, and thought I’d consider giving their service a go. Before signing up, I wanted to read their Terms of Use [PDF here]– specifically any thing related to privacty, etc… Initially I was glad to see on the first page front and center the section headed “PRIVACY AND PROTECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION”.
This enthusiasm was quickly tempered by the instruction “See the Privacy Statement below for disclosures relating to the collection and use of your personal information.” Ok, no big deal. I used Acrobat Reader’s find(”Privacy Statement” to get to:
FOR INFORMATION REGARDING THE GOTVOICE .COM PRIVACY STATEMENT CLICK HERE.
I’ll call this the “Oakland Link” because, unfortunately, there was no “here” HERE. Of course, I tried clicking on “HERE” to no avail. There were other hyperlinks throughout the rest of the PDF. Needless to say, I won’t be signing up with GotVoice, at least until I can actually find their mythical “Privacy Statement”
