Here is the guts of their privacy statement …straight up …to the point…..

“YouMail collects and processes, or has third party service providers who collect and process on YouMail’s behalf, personal data relating to you, to convey the communications you make by means of the YouMail Software, and carry out YouMail marketing activities.”

While it is against the law to wire tape your phone line to listen in on conversations (unless its the FBI for reasons of their own) its not against the law for these bozo’s and their 3rd party advertisers to tap into your voicemail content. Don’t forget…YouMail reserves the right to modify the provisions of their Privacy Statement if deemed necessary”…..What the “F”? You mean without any notice to their customers?
Damn right! and they won’t be asking for your permission.

Their Privacy Statement is filled with ambiguities….such as in one section (Email Address) they promise not to pass your email to third parties for THEIR marketing purposes…yet in another section (Feedback) they say that the names and email addresses they collect may be used by themselves including their service providers (AKA Youmail third party advertisers) who may use it in connection with providing the services by Youmail.

When Youmail says “their” when referring to a “third party”..it means a third party that is not a third party affiliate or advertiser/partner with Youmail. That is who they promise not to share your email address or phone number with. Youmail collectively includes themselves along with their third party advertisers, which is you they are allowed to share your phone number and email address with.

And this statement sums it all up…(from their Privacy Statement)….

“We will not provide the names, email addresses, or phone numbers to any other party except our service providers who may use it in connection with providing the services on our site”.

So who is the “their” party they are referring to? Non-affiliated third parties.
