myDDO violates Turbine privacy policy

[moorewr]

I hate to point this out, BUT:

• Turbine warrants that it will not share information with third parties without the users permissions. Now, this can be implied or explicit (opt-in or opt-out).
• There is no way to prevent farming of character names, not to mention significant information about these characters.

myDDO is pretty **** cool, and it is something I had been asking for. HOWEVER, it is undermined by the inability to opt yourself out, and more to the point this inability

Turbine Privacy Policy: http://turbine.com/news/58

The Collection and Use section states:

Non-identifiable 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 contact and/or billing information for any user, or enables the recipient to communicate directly with any user unless agreed to by the user in advance of such communication. Aggregate information and/or non-identifiable information may be used by Turbine for any purpose, including, without limitation, to improve the Turbine Sites and Services, for internal marketing studies, or simply to collect demographic information about Turbine's users.

Clearly, charcaters on myDDO are not presented in aggregate.

Amusing aside: I predict in-games mails from Spammers saying "We see you have a +1 Wis bauble equipped in the trinket slot of your level 18 rogue. Ouch! We have your bloodstone ready to go for just $24.99."
