Evite privacy policy

I got an evite today, which I refuse to open on the grounds that I don't trust evite. Instead, I decided to take a look at the Evite privacy policy, which was linked to in the e-mail.

*********************************



I think I may be one of the only people in the world who actually reads these things, but this one was hilarious. The web page linked to in the e-mail doesn't actually exist. Instead, I get a standard 404 Not Found error.

Like hell I'm gonna use Evite.

evite isn't so scarie. it works quite well, actually.

it was particularly effective when i was arranging a reunion between myself and my friends in america for when i was visiting over christmas time. it was far easier over evite than over email, especially since they were in america and i was in australia.

it was nice to have everything sorted before i got there. evite sent out reminders and everything. once the date of the event passed, i haven't gotten anything from them that i didn't want or need, like any superfluous newsletters or advertisements or anything like that.

i would use it again and recommend it to others.

if you really want the privacy policy: *click here*.

but i understand your apprehension if in an email, they can't even link their privacy policy properly.
