Ask HN: What PII is Scribd likely to get after Slideshare acquisition?

3 points

6 years ago

I just received an email from Slideshare that Scriptd will start operating September 24, and after that their Privacy Policy [0] and ToS [1] will apply.

Opting out means you have to close your account before that date. I will probably do that as the Scribd policy does not sit well with me (but I am no lawyer so what do I know).

Does anyone know what information they're likely to receive? Would it be full LinkedIn profile data, since they might have merged profiles for their services?
