Bob was going to try to say something here, but he's really busy
and I see he hasn't yet, so I will throw out his concerns (that I
remember he mentioned... I expect he'll weigh in when he gets a
chance.)<br>
<br>
<blockquote>Where did this system come from? Who is doing it,
what are they doing with the personal information they are
collecting, where is the privacy policy?<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
These are all serious issues. Those of you involved with
political parties may be aware of the seriousness of protecting
the personal information parties get from the voters list they are
given access to during elections. Third Party organizations like
FVC WRC need to take care both to adhere to privacy law and to
ensure that supporter's personal data is not abused. <br>
<br>
I once put a great deal of energy in getting people to sign a
petition, but the individual who was maintaining it decided to
share the personal data on the list with another likeminded
organization so it could contact the signers about the issue..
Which was all well and good... except that other organization
continued to use that list to spam the signers for other things,
which I heard about when people I had encouraged to sign began
complaining to me about the abuse of their personal privacy. <br>
<br>
If FVC WRC is supporters to this anonymous site and telling them
to use this system, FVC can certainly be blamed, discredited (and
possibly even held to account legally) if some privacy law
transgression of that nature transpires. <br>
<br>
