   No Subject Given

   Its a matter of courtesy, politeness and respect to NOT pass on private or semi-private information that does not belong to you without permission in most circumstances.
   
   Which means that 90% of people out there will do it without a qualm or a clue that its just wrong.
   
   Its simple ethics..which are in short supply these days.

   Plaxo stupidity

   I am so surprised that people use services like Plaxo - seems like such a stupid, privacy-invading idea to me. I care a lot about my privacy, and choose friends who respect this. Anybody who gives any of my details to Plaxo will be out of my life in a hurry.

   my contact details

   I read this with interest. Midentity (www.midentity.com) is a European based company providing services some of which are similiar to Plaxo in that they allow you to request other people to update their details for you.
   
   We (Midentity) take a simple approach to this. Our Privacy Policy and more importantaly Data Protection registration ensures we are legally bound NOT to pass the contact details (or other personal information) of our customers on to third-parties.
   
   We also charge our customers around £2 per month for the service which is our business model so we have no financial need nor motive to pass any details on to anyone (other than the intended receipient of the data).
   
   Would welcome more discussion on this.
   
   Thank you.
