[Air-L] Ello

[Antonio A. Casilli]

As we are at it, can someone please provide info as to Ello's privacy (and personal data) policy? 
Especially the part that reads: 

"We may share your personal information with third parties under several circumstances, including (1) if you tell us it is OK to do so (2) if we believe that we need to do so by law (3) if we contract with a third party service provider to offer services for you — for example, with a credit card processing company if you decide to buy something through Ello.

Ello does not have any affiliated companies right now. But if we do in the future, we may share information with them, too."

Isn't this, like, a blank check? 
Cheers, 
---a

"what is better/different than already existent SN, e.g. FB?"

Presumably, because it won't be supported by advertising, it will be far
less concerned with bending your interactions towards marketing
messages, and perhaps far less concerned with using your data to build a
marketing profile to be sold.
