Is it SOP to share my email address with 3rd parties without my explicit permission?

I created a gmail account for an addon.
I created a Firefox add-on and submitted it.
Within a week I get an email from WordPress, sent to the addon's gmail account.
WTF!
So, is it standard operating procedure for Mozilla to give my personally identifying information away to a 3rd party without my EXPLICIT permission? For Facebook, sure; but, not for Mozilla. You guys are supposed to be better than this.

''If it wasn't you, maybe it was GitHub?''
just to avoid any misconception, i'm a normal user like you (and also happen to host an addon on AMO), so i obviously cannot speak for mozilla authoritatively. <br>but judging from my personal experiences (as far as i 'm aware no piece of information that i've provided to mozilla has gone to any place it shouldn't be in) and also from my insight into the kind of conduct of the organisation i feel quite confident to say that your address didn't leak from mozilla - they also would have quite a reputation to lose.
maybe it's best to drop wordpress a line and to inquire how your email got into their system...

  • My husband and I share an email address. He now wishes to have an itunes ie Apple account, but it won't let him as there is already an account with that email address- yes, of course, it's ME. How can we resolve this?

    My husband and I share an email address. he now has a new phone which requires a link with itunes; he'd also like an itunes account. However, when he tries to set up an account, he repeatedly gets told the user name  - ie our email address, is already taken. And then his attempt fails. SO surely two people with the same email address can have seperate apple accounts?

  • HT5622 I share an email address but want a separate Apple ID.  Can I do this?

    I share an email address but want a separate Apple ID.  How do I do this??

    on your device go into settings - icloud - and make sure you are not signed into any apple id and click get free apple id - setup an icloud apple id for yourself - you can still use the same apple id you normally do for itunes and app store if you want (settings>itunes and app store) and just use your own for icloud and imessage - does this help?

  • I've can't sync my ipad and Imac because I've registered different email addresses with each. What should I do?

    Hi,
    I've recently bought an Ipad2 and wanted to use Pages on it - which I bought when I got my Imac a year before. However, because I've registered different email addresses with each device, I can't get these devices to recognise that I own them both. What should I do?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    I highly recommend having a single account.  Choose one or the other and make all future purchases on that.  With one account you can share apps between a certain number of devices, but with separate accounts you have to buy multiple copies of what you want.
    Also, Pages for the computer and Pages for iOS are different programs.

  • I have 3 email addresses with my ISP.  How do I set up my iPhone to receive emails addressed from any one of these addresses

    I have 3 email addresses with my ISP.  How do I set up my iPhone to receive emails addressed from any one of these addresses

    Even though they share the same incoming and outgoing server settings, each is a distinct account, so you just need to set up 3 accounts on your iPhone, one for each email address.
    Or, since these are all from the same ISP, do they have online account management tools to let you forward two of those to the one account you want to be the "master" account?  You still may want separate accounts on your iPhone though, as an account can only have one address associated with it for the "reply" field when responding to emails.

  • Is there ANY way to use another email address with iCloud?

    Apple let you use any email address as an Apple ID, but I really want to be able to use a non-Apple email address with my iCloud mail. Just about every email service (Gmail, Hotmail, etc) allows you to send from a third-party address (once you've done a security verification) so that you don't have to change your email address when switching services. iCloud seems to have no such option. Is there any way round this, or any way to put pressure on Apple to add this basic feature???

  • How do I use a previous email address with my printer?

    How do I use a previous email address with my printer?  I reset my printer and want to use the same email address as before.Thanks

    At this time the printer's email address will not be available for for re-use for 6 months. This is a security measure once an email has been disabled. After that time, one can go into their account and then change the customized email address for the printer.

  • I have an ipad and an iphone.  For the purposes of facetime, I would like to associated my email address with just the ipad and my cell number with just the iphone.  I went to settings facetime on the iphone but it won't let me remove the email address.

    Please see above.  I have both an ipad and and iphoen.  For the purposes of facetime, I would like to associate only my email address with the ipad and only the phone number iwht the iphobne.  However, I cannot remove the email address from the iphone.  So, when I get a facetime via email, it rings on both the iphone and ipad.  Settings>>facetime will not let me remove the email.

    I wouldn't want to say exactly, however I would imagine that it has to do with the fact you use the same Apple ID on both devices. Since Facetime was activated on the phone, with the number, and then activated on the iPad with the email and same Apple ID, they are somehow linked. I'm not sure that you can separate it without having a different Apple ID on the two devices. Otherwise you can look at this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3367 and see if that helps you any.

  • My icloud emails arent arriving most of the time and a few days ago my iphone and ipad started showing "Can't Get Mail" box. This has not happened before since I set up the iclud email address with the purchase of my ipad about a month ago.

    My icloud emails arent arriving most of the time and a few days ago my iphone and ipad started showing "Can't Get Mail" box. This has not happened before since I set up the iclud email address with the purchase of my ipad about a month ago.

    That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
    So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
    But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

  • Encoding Email address with vaild HTML

    Hi everyone just looking for a little advice.
    Does anyone know a way to encoding an Email address with
    vaild HTML??
    I've been using code generated by the website 'Automatic'
    http://automaticlabs.com/products/enkoderform
    but when I put the code into a webpage it doesn't validate as
    standard HTML.
    Is there a similar way that does produce valid HTML or any
    other suggestions you could make would be greatfully recieved.
    Thanks
    Steve

    Only suggestion I can give is to use a FormMail script not an
    actual email
    address.
