Apple releasing my personal info?
Categories: general
I’m home today, fighting off a nasty chest infection that has left my lungs a soggy mess.
Thought I’d poke around my online checking accounts to see how things are going.
Noticed something strange:
I don’t subscribe to the New York Times and they certainly shouldnt have my credit card number.
But wait…. Oh yeah. I did install the NY Times application on my iPod:
Its a free app. I’ve tried to use it on occassion, but its so slow and bonky that I recently deleted it.
So how is it that I downloaded a free app, but I’m getting a hit on my credit card from NY Times?
And notice that the small hold is from NY Times Digital and NOT ITunes. Those charges (the itunes purchases) always list properly and I’ve come to expect them.
So how is it that the New York Times has access to my credit card?
Apple: Did you release my financial information to an unapproved vendor without my consent?
Sure looks like it to me.
I must investigate further.
you ever figure out what was going down with this apple releasing your card # bewlship? props for the blogging btw, I have like 30 things I should blog but find a lack of willingness to type
