It's really simple
If you don't like it, don't play here

Everyone thinks they are a snowflake and deserve special treatment or want the rules changed because they don't like them. See above and move along to another server that suits you better.

You can sue, but your odds of success would probably be pretty low. You'd probably have to argue that you did not consent to the file being put on your system or that its functions exceeded the terms of your consent. Given that you clicked "install" or "OK" you're 99.9% likely to be SOL. You could maybe argue negligence too, but little success there.

That's exactly the problem here.

Just replace them with decoy_credit_card_numbers.txt.

Duh.

I would like to know what are the limitations of what it can and will do. As much as I like and trust the developers here. I would like assurance that it does not grab any Personally Identifiable Information from my PC that could be used for Identity Theft or other malicious activity. Even if the current users of this information do not have intents on this, if it is stored it is vulnerable to theft from their servers if it is captured.

Yuck it up if you want. I suppose none of you use quicken to upload transactions into a budget, nor any of you file your taxes electronically and keep a pdf of the return for next year, nor balance your check book in excel. You make light of it, but there is a reason the scanners pick up certain types of changes.

While I believe in the good nature of the developers, they are for the most part anonymous to us. Would you trust your information with someone you only know through a chat room?

If you are that worried about it, encrypt those files.

While that is good advice, I am not sure I will get all of the potential files or temporary files that might be stored. Nor am I sure my wife will do the same thing. Is there a way apart from having a totally different machine I can segregate what the application can see? Will a separate user account on the PC do any good?
