That was our understanding too.

One thing to clarify: it's just me and one other guy (imalex) working on this, although we're hoping to hire another person soon. We're not trying to screw anyone over with the privacy policy. We just don't know anything about legalese, so we relied on existing terminology.

Congratulations on shipping! I wouldn't worry about complaints like this too much, it kind of happens a bunch on hn.

Have you studied what mint and personal capital are doing right/wrong? Just wanted to say a word of caution as I've heard of different banks making life hard for mint.

AFAIK they won't experience the same issues as Mint until they achieve a similar userbase size. The complaints from the banks was the server load that Mint was putting on them for information they felt users potentially weren't using.

So silly. They should've just provided Mint with a dedicated endpoint on a dedicated server or two in their colo. Load problem solved.

I hope my comment didn't make for sour feelings. I'm positive your team is working in good faith (more legalease!) and I'm cheering on for Penny's success.

While that may be standard language in a ToS, I can't waive that broadly written right.
