I will chime in here.
I have worked hard at not posting or making my PII available except where necessary and that with reputable companies that protect my PII.
This is very, very poor business ethics and procedures for GS to use. I am looking forward to Ms. Watanabe's response. Please make your review of your policy and procedures public here. While your direct correspondence with 4X4Dodger should be protected, the resulting analysis and/or change of policy and procedure is important to us all.
For those that accept a company providing your PII at their will, I am sorry for you. Don't accept this. Acceptance will simply allow more PII freely thrown around.
I have gone on my GS account and permanently altered my address and phone number. It will not be reset to correct info until I see the resolution of this policy and procedures and then only if GS protects my PII.
What you wrote is very important. When people, like "sh410" above, become complacent and allow more and more invasions of their privacy and their personal data the more that will happen. All of us need to push back against the corporate urge to increase sales and income by accumulating our personal data and using it in ways that profit them and put our finances and information in danger.
When people simply accept a situation because they believe nothing can be done (the tilting at windmills post and others) then nothing ever gets done. The easy road is seldom the most rewarding.
