The DTube Privacy Policy   stopped me in my tracks during the sign up process for the token sale. In relation to sharing user data and personal information it essentially states that user data and personal information will not be shared, except for when it is, circumstances for which are liberal:

"We will not share, sell, or give away any of our users" personal information to third parties, unless one of the following circumstances applies:"

"• Except as it relates to advertisers and our ad partners, we may share information with vendors, consultants, and other service providers who need access to such information to carry out work for us;"

"• We may share information (and will attempt to provide you with prior notice, to the extent legally permissible) in response to a request for information if we believe disclosure is in accordance with, or required by, any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request;"

"• We may share information between and among DTube, and its current and future parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, and other companies under common control and ownership;"

That circumstance of "governmental request" being separate from legal process either legislative or regulatory.

The information requested during token sale sign up:

• Country of residence
• Contact Email
• Full Name
• Postal Address

Additional DTube voting power and DTC are awarded to users who also supply their Fb account and phone number.

I'll be very clear: I wish no harm to DTube's reputation or token sale, nor cast any aspersions on character or intent, I just know that most people don't read EULA's or Privacy/Confidentiality Statements so I'm posting this here for others to see prior to signing up. Once information becomes uncontrolled, by whatever mechanism or party, it's out there for good, for today and tomorrow.

I do not wish to risk being part of the next Cambridge Analytica   or Equifax; I do not know your current or future parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, etc et al, businesses buy and sell each other in addition to assets, and governments change hands, so the ultimate fate of this personal information in indeterminable, therefore, sorry, but cancel.
