Another site sharing considerable information, the free dating service OKCupid, sent usernames to one company; gender, age and ZIP Code to seven companies; sexual orientation to two companies; and drug-use information -- do you use drugs 'never,' 'sometimes' or 'often'? -- to six companies. It also sent an anonymized version of email addresses to a firm that says it uses them to help businesses get information about customers in their email lists.
另一家共享了相当数量信息的网站是IAC (InterActiveCorp)公司下属的提供免费约会服务的OKCupid。该网站将用户名信息送交给了一家公司;将性别、年龄和邮政编码信息送交给了七家公司;将性取向信息送交给了两家公司;将嗑药信息──你“从不、“有时还是“经常嗑药?──送交给了六家公司。它还把经过匿名化处理的电子邮件地址发送给了一家公司,该公司声称它使用这些信息来帮助企业从自己的电子邮件清单中找出客户的信息。
'None of this information is personally identifiable,' said OKCupid's chief executive officer, Sam Yagan. He said OKCupid, owned by IAC/InterActiveCorp, is upfront with users about the amount of data it collects. 'Advertising is and always will be part of the business model. It allows the product to be free,' he said.
OKCupid网站首席执行长萨姆·亚甘(Sam Yagan)说:“这些信息中没有一个是可以识别个人身份的。他说OKCupid网站在所收集的信息数量方面对用户是坦诚的。他说:“广告现在是,而且一直都会是我们经营模式的一部分,它可以让我们的产品实现免费。
