playing Angry Birds, mayhaps enraging you (?); you have nobody to blame but yourself. Ok, NSA shouldn't be grabbing your www.Rivo.com (Angry Bird)
data, but the truth is they are just double dipping what Rivo.com has already collected. The reason Angry Birds is mentioned is it's ToS. Do yourself a favor and read it, You'll find it at www.rovio.com.
When I say ToS, I mean everything; Privacy Policy, EULA and any other practice of using your private info - to me the phrase "ToS" covers it all.
I read ToS's and if I disagree with them, refuse to use their services (FaceBook.com) or take measures to block parts I'm able to. www.rovio.com was one of the worst ToS, I'd ever read from a company who's sole purpose is pushing Angry Birds and many other popular on-line applications to collect data for various reasons,
One being ADs tailored to you -if you pay for the application or game, it has no effect on the data mined from you, maybe just block an ad or two, others have use
for the data mined and www.rovio.com comes across as the company more than able to supply it to them.
When I first read their ToS, Rivo mentioned they send "some information overseas" that was all that was said, what was sent, by what route and just who was overseas all omitted. Apparently www.rovio.com was using data mining practices only allowed somewhere "overseas".
I've just scaned Rivo's ToS for first time in a year or more, was a chore removing all the blocks. I didn't reread it, just a searched for the word overseas, which was missing; I assume redefining it to allow Overseas to be omitting, Last updated: October 2013
