Who is Mary?

Oh flip! I recently entered a guitar competition!


The first one in forever.

I hate these competitions. I know it is convenient to use these services, but to quote Woobox's privacy disclosure,


4.3 Participants

Information that is provided as part of a Customer created campaign is controlled and managed by the Customer who created the campaign and is governed by their privacy policy and terms associated with their collection of data in the campaign. We process this data on behalf of the Customer who is the data controller.

4.4 Third Party App Users

When you authorize a Woobox created and controlled third party login app, you are providing Woobox with the information you have granted access to in the third party app’s authorization dialog. This information is typically: name, username, email, third party identifier, birthday, location, profile picture, and profile link. In this case, Woobox is the data controller with respect to the information granted through the third party login app. We use this information to provide you functionality in campaigns that utilize this capability. For example:

a. Allowing you to pre-populate your name, email address and other fields in a form.

b. Allowing you to participate in a campaign that limits functionality to uniqueness by third party identifier.

c. Allowing you to share, follow, or some other enabled action as part of participation in a campaign

d. Allowing you to login to your profile in campaigns.

and it gets more concerning when the competitions are illegitimate.

You can trust Fishman, but can you trust Woobox? Who knows what Fishman is doing with your data, how are they storing it how are they protecting it how are they sharing it, etc. etc. etc?

Data is a commodity.

In my opinion, get a throwaway email address to play with.

Well, it went to more than one of my gmail accounts. Which is what makes me wonder how they got that right. Unless there is something else scanning my info.

I know Google will never expose my data. So at least it is not that.

Anything inter-opted with your social accounts, incl. Google, where more than one email address may be listed, you know third-party integrations?
