Due to SFI's many changes, I recently canceled my customized "New Affiliate Greeting" and just left the generic one, figuring it would always be up to date, which my customized one might not be.
Following a link in an email from SFI about a new sponsored affiliate, I was most unhappy to see that the newest version included my home address!
In this day and age , I am appalled that SFI would think it is OK to give out that information without my permission. There are far too many weirdo's, sickies, and perverts in the world to just freely hand out such personal information. With a data base of so many moms with kids, what was SFI thinking?
Anyway, if you don't want your home address sprayed out all over the internet, go in and edit your letter NOW.
You can bet the farm that when the folks at SFI return to work tomorrow, they will find my e-mail of protest.

UPDATE:
SFI says they are not breaking any laws by distributing our personal information to total strangers without our permission via the revised welcome message.
Maybe not, but it gives me the creeps and makes be very angry that they would do this without getting my permission first.
So once again, if you do not want SFI giving out your home address to your personally sponsored affiliates (who are total strangers who just happened to wander by your web site and sign up for SFI) then go in and change the greeting, and let SFI know that this policy is NOT OK

Latest update.
I had gone in and completely removed / deleted my "New Affiliate Greeting" three different times and saved each one. I was beginning to wonder if I had gone into the "Twilight Zone" because it kept coming back - and it was found in more than one place! ACK!
But I guess I squeaked loudly enough to grease the wheel because Natalie Pounds, without being asked to do so, personally went in and removed my address from the letter, and the change she made "stuck."
If she was a board member here, I would definitely give her an "e" because I had given up.
