The best Terms of Service update you'll ever read

Can't see this email? View it online.       Hi symiens, Over the past few months, we've been working hard to make StumbleUpon even more amazing than it already is. We've launched in the UK, created personalized suggestions as you Stumble, and pushed updates for our iPhone and Android apps. As part of this effort, we have updated our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy to cover these new features, to be more transparent to our users, and to be easier to understand. We know you (usually) enjoy reviewing legal forms as much as you enjoy doing your laundry, but please take some time to read through these changes (perhaps while you're doing your laundry). To make things easier, here are some updates we have made: The Terms of Service and Privacy Policy now cover our newest products and features, such as our mobile and web applications and the ability to join StumbleUpon using your Facebook and Google accounts. As you know, StumbleUpon is a personalized content discovery service, so our primary goal in collecting data is to improve the content recommendations we make to you. In our updated Privacy Policy, we provide a fuller explanation of the data we collect, how we use it, and the options we provide regarding your personal information. In our mission to help you discover great content from across the Web, we clarify in our Terms of Service that while StumbleUpon refers and recommends its content, most of this content is controlled by third parties. We have inserted headings in both the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy for ease of reference, and made some clarifying legal changes. The Terms of Service will be effective for existing users as of Oct. 15, 2012. The update to the Privacy Policy is effective immediately. To read them in full, please visit our new Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. We hope you find these updates helpful and clear. Thanks!

Hello from AlternativeTo

Hi symiens!

It feels like it was yesterday that we launched AlternativeTo but we are actually becoming kind of a mature site on our beloved internet. We have gotten a lot of love from our users during the years and we think we have helped a lot of people find better software and web services. We always need more help from our most engaged users like yourself.

If you haven't visited us in a while you will notice that our core features are the same but we have made loads of small improvements all over the site. The forums are more sophisticated, our search works much better, the process of adding apps is so much simpler, we rank software better, you can browse apps by categories and much much more.

If you have just forgotten about the site then we would love for you to come back. As you might remember, we do not use a traditional username/password system. In case you have forgotten what login method you used we include a little reminder for you below. If you have any issues or questions regarding your user account then just let us know and we'll help you out!
