I have no idea why English Tea Store accepted my terms without actually fulfilling them but I am reopening this claim pending real settlement. Good grief.
I am absolutely livid that English Tea Stores has not responded to me. They have violated their own Terms of Service and won't explain how or why. The stalker emails came from Criteo, so I don't know whether they're the culprits with the database. Possibly my kids' generation is comfortable with this level of online intrusion, but I'm not. English Tea Shops should go stalk Trump - according to his dismantling of FCC rules he's happy as a claim about being stalked.
Interesting. Do you use a Mac or a PC? I pulled up an Electronic Frontier Foundation article: "Safari in Arms Race Against Trackers - Criteo Feels the Heat." According to the article, "EFF is concerned about Criteo’s continued anti-privacy actions and their continued inclusion in Acceptable Ads....Criteo has repeatedly implemented ways to defeat Safari's privacy protections." Given Apple's absolute fury over Facebook's recently discovered violations, they might even care.
There are already complaints pending in Europe, where privacy laws are much better, about Criteo's horrible practices.
I would follow all of the suggestions you've received. It is totally unacceptable for them to have failed to respond to you.
Seems either a) claimant has visited the site or an affiliate site and used their email which was stored and now referenced, or b) The English Tea Store has an email list that allows them to access the claimant's email from some third party app.
In either case they deserve a full explanation and if they don't get one English Tea Shop should be sued for invasion of privacy. If this happened to one customer its no doubt happened to others and liability could be significant unless they settle here and now.
Anyone else had this experience with English Tea Shop? Might be fun for the community here to try to duplicate this issue...
Automated systems and technology are often outsourced to third party companies that manage the meta-data and logarithms that operate the types of emails received by S.T. ETS has an obligation to not simply depend on the third party but to understand what processes are in place and how they are operating to the extent that they align with (or not) their policies and disclosures. The privacy policy was clearly violated by the technology running its website and integrated with the company's marketing efforts. It is incumbent on ETS to not only disclose how they got the information but how their process failed to align with the policy in place and what steps the company is taking to fix it.
Exactly! Thank you.
I don't know whether this company has broken the law, but they have certainly not abided by their own privacy policy.
If the company says you can shop anonymously and you couldn't, then they certainly have some 'splaining to do.
I am curious about this - the response from English Tea Store says that they disclosed where they got your info from. did they? Have you talked to online privacy protection groups?
I hate online stalking too. I suggest you get a VPN.
