I have had a great time over the last 7 months. Lots of friendly players that all welcomed me. But recently I have had my trust defied by this website. It is not any players fault but the entirety of Jundroo’s fault. I have substantial reason to believe that Jundroo gives out our emails. Even to scammers. I have read through the policy and know where in it does it say that they are going to give out my email to people without my knowledge. I am extremely upset to have to go. But I will not stay if I don’t feel safe with the company that makes this website. I will also be deleting the game. This has now been a waste of several dollars that I can never get back. And for what? Let this be used as a warning to other players as their information could be used too. And if you are wondering my proof here it is. I created a new email for the IAAR. Within 20 minutes of confirming I started receiving spam emails. Today I have received 3. And I am barely halfway through. Go ahead and remove me your self if you want Jundroo. I honestly no longer care. Because you have ruined my favorite game ever and wasted $5. I won’t be here by Wednesday. As I want to try and dish out some thing I was going to release before going.
I can’t believe that @Jundroo had the audacity to do this.
Apps like Tik Tok however, are TERRIBLE for anyone with any sense of personal privacy. Everyone reading this, Read their information terms of service and EULA. Disgusting stuff.
Honestly, the most compromising Jundroo Game is Aero Effect just because it displays global scores using Game Center data on IOS. Nothing harmful about it.
@Tweedle_Aerospace Yes, that's what they "claim", but what they don't tell you is that every time you click on a link, open a website, or do basically anything, you're agreeing to let them share some info(usually just metrics for statistical purposes) and it doesn't warn you that it's doing it. They also openly share info between companies that are under their control. I have a YouTube channel, and if I had enough views, it would show me info about demographics (age, gender, country, traffic source, etc.) that I'm surprised it even shows me, but YouTube is owned by Google, so it's technically not sharing info(although every add on youtube uses your info to target you). Then there's cookies, which you have to accept to visit most sites, and part of the agreement for those is that they can see some of your info(once again for statistics and advertising) and those usually don't pop up, or if they do it's just "This site uses cookies. Accept?" and it blocks your view of the site on purpose to get you to click accept. And yeah, apps have ask for your permission to do certain things, but they only have to ask general questions(like "can this app access your camera/microphone?" not "can we use your camera/microphone to secretly record you?") which could mean anything and include anything.
Look. I'm not trying to argue or anything, and I totally get what you're saying. We're supposed to be able to trust the internet, but we really can't. Even with the best intentions, sometimes things just don't work right. The internet was supposed to be free access to information for all, but it seems like it's turning into a corporate cash cow where the only information available is how to make more money or scam more people using the internet...
Sorry man. I didn't mean to drag this on like this... I'm done with this whole subject for now, just had to get that out there. I hope things go better for you in the future and you don't get any more scam messages.
We take privacy seriously and we don't give away player email addresses. The spam emails are not because of us.
@YaMomzBox420 BLOCKING ACCESS
We never sell your personal information, and give you controls over who has access
We are committed to protecting your data from third parties. That’s why it’s our strict policy to never sell your personal information to anyone. We don’t share information that personally identifies you with advertisers, such as your name or email, unless you ask us to. For example, if you see an ad for a nearby flower shop and select the “tap to call” button, we’ll connect your call and may share your phone number with the flower shop. If you’re using an Android device, we require third-party apps to ask for your permission to access certain types of data – like your photos, contacts, or location.
That is the Google Privacy Policy
@Tweedle_Aerospace well... Yes. And. No. They do sell aggregate info(stuff like they use for targeted advertising, age, general location, etc) and they share most of your basic info with other "trusted" sites and agencies for statistical analysis. They don't however, like to give out info to scammers and untrustworthy people, but it still happens occasionally (even google falls for scams sometimes). And yeah, other sites are where most of that stuff comes from.
@Staticalliam7 no they don’t. It is when you give your email up to websites like eBay, Facebook, etc. that you start getting spam notifications. Google doesn’t sell your information.
Are you sure this isn't your email provider? Google has a ton of spam because they sell your information to like everyone
Please bring issues like this to Jundroo's contact page, as spreading what is most likely misinformation on the forums is not the proper way to go about this. What you are experiencing is most likely pure coincidence, as I and everyone else I know have not experienced any spam emails as a result of creating a Jundroo account.
@Exo200 yes but schools have extremely strict firewalls that typically only allow emails from off site locations to teachers.
Fine I will give it one more chance. But if I feel this happen again to an unsafe level I will leave
@Infinite17 I don’t believe that I apply to any of those.
@Infinite17 I did make a separate email address and it doesn’t ask for birth dates. Also I have had this email set up for while but never used it. I did read through it. This is directly what it says:
We share PII with companies, outside organizations, and individuals for limited reasons, outlined below:
@Tweedle_Aerospace hi, it is not exactly jundroo's fault; I recieve no spam at all, and never have. I think the only reason you got a spam email 20 minutes after your registration might have just been pure coincidence, or due to the email hosting service you're using (some email hosting sites are less interested in privacy than others)
If you don't agree, mention Andrew or one of the other devs in this post
And seriously don't delete it, it's a one of a kind game! You'll never find a better game
Edit: did you read the terms and conditions when you created your account?? You agreed to them using your information, and I'm not sure if you know it, but a lot of companies sell your info to other companies. That's why you should have a separate email address for accounts, with fake data (s.a. Birth Dates)
@Tweedle_Aerospace also, I haven't gotten any spam messages either(besides the phone calls I always get)
@Tweedle_Aerospace It still might not be Jundroo's fault directly. For all we know, they might just "rent" their domain from another company(like Wordpress or Wyx) that sells our info without Jundroo's knowledge. It could also still be something completely unrelated like an email bot that messages every email account it possibly can regardless of who it is. The only way to know for sure that it is caused by this site would be to create another new email and not use it for this site, but definitely use it for some other site you trust just as a test. Or send a couple messages back and forth between your old email. If that email also gets the same kind of messages, then it can't be Jundroo's fault.
As a side note, my mom has gotten spam emails about weird stuff(mostly obvious links to porn, but also really bad stuff too) off and on for the last 10 years or so. They go away for awhile, but then pop up by the hundreds every so often, whenever the economy isn't that great(like the last year now. Every time there's government aid money, the scammers come running).
@Tweedle_Aerospace ah sry
I have not gotten any spam email, i have no idea why this would happen to you
@Arstotzka I mean I wouldn’t have been mad if it was in the privacy policy. But it isn’t. The only thing that would give them the right to do so is if we were informed beforehand by email but we were not informed.
@Tweedle_Aerospace is it ok if I create my own account for the iaar?
@Tweedle_Aerospace k
@CASXA thanks. I am going to shut it down though so I don’t give my email out to anyone else though.
@Chtite451SR2 that is like saying: well they already robbed me of all my cash, might as well let them take my credit card and change too.
@YaMomzBox420 yes but Google doesn’t sell your information to 18+ sites most likely. In fact they made it so that it is extremely hard to see that stuff. So I doubt it was them. And I didn’t pay the money for those so it would be understandable if they sold it to reasonable companies. But but SR2 is something else. I am fine with spam calls, texts, and emails but when they are stuff like what I am being sent on this new account; that is unacceptable. I just seriously doubt that Jundroo is that desperate.
Well, I wouldn't jump to conclusions so quickly... You may in fact be correct about what happened, idk, but it could also be any number of other things as well. Gmail(or any other email service), Wordpress(and most other blog-sites), Android/iOS, and basically every ISP provider sell your info and there's nothing you can do about it besides just not using any of it(which is nearly impossible if you want to use the internet at all).
I understand how you feel though. I used to get a ton of spam calls on my old phone number, so recently I got a new one hoping it would stop the calls, and it worked... For about 2 days before the slow trickle of bot callers increased back to a constant roar. It seems that's just how things are anymore...
