You must work for the news service...your post kind of proves my point.
Quote:
"Individual information" is information about a user that is presented in a form distinguishable from information relating to other users but not in a form that personally identifies any user or enables the recipient to communicate directly with any user unless agreed to by the user in advance of such communication. This information may be used to improve Valve's products and online sites, for internal marketing studies, or simply to collect demographic information about Valve's users.

But since you are choosing to take snippets instead of grabbing the information as a whole, let me do more work for you.
Quote:
Valve may use customer contact information provided by users to send information about Valve, including news about product updates, contests, events, and other promotional materials, but only if the users agree to receive such communications. Except in the cases described below, Valve will not share personally identifiable information with any third party unless the user agrees to such disclosure in advance. "Personally identifiable information" consists of a user's name, email address, physical address, or other data about the user that enables the recipient to personally identify the user. While Valve collects personally identifiable information on a voluntary basis, for certain products and online sites, Valve's collection of personally identifiable information may be a requirement for access to the product or site. Personally identifiable information will be processed and stored by Valve in databases situated in the United States. Valve may allow third parties performing services under contract with Valve to access stored information but such access shall only be to the extent necessary to provide those services.

By the time you add in all the little "click I agree" check boxes in those purposely long agreement statements, you've pretty much agreed to whatever they want from you. If someone sat you down and asked you in plain English for all the things they are collecting and asking for, you would tell them to go f themselves no way would you agree to than. but its easy to hide in the "crap i want to play let me click it" boxes.
We can go on and on. The point is, I choose not to be part of the corporate information and control machine. Why is that making you angry? Should I NOT be allow to make my own choices? |
