MJ's TOS is here:
Worry about MJ using dialed numbers to provide localization and such is rather pointless, IMO. Compared to the likelyhood that many/most/all telecom calls are recorded in their entirety?
That would be one reason they use such complicated language. Long sentences are hard to read, and it's easy to miss something.
BTW, I'd have to find it AGAIN, but I needed to do a little reading anyway.
It's near the middle of part 11 (Advertisements) of the user agreement
User agreements are largely irrelevant, since the company always reserves the right to many ANY changes it wants to at any time. However, this is saying the capability to do it DOES exist. Other spyware capabilities are there too.
Thanks for that.
I misread your post initially and somehow thought you had said that MJ may send advertisements to the numbers you dial. [slapping forehead]. I agree with you, it's not a big deal.
Naw, I saw it the first time. What created my confusion was misreading what you had written and interpreting it to mean that MJ may send advertisements to the numbers that are dialed. My bad. :-)
How would that happen?
Of course they COULD, but I don't think we're ready for that yet. People need more time to get used to such invasion of privacy.
I thought they were talking about the advertisements they put on the system that's hosting "your" MagicJack. Like if you called a car dealer, they might show you more car ads.
Also, you seem to have gotten the attribution wrong. I'm the one who first mentioned that part of the TOS.
By happening, of course :-)
They have to have access to the numbers you call in order to complete calls. Everyone has access to a directory. If you call a Ford dealer somewhere, they can know that, and send you new car ads.
