• Cozi privacy policy
  I looked through the privacy policy, and it has this chilling statement:
  
  
  
  Merger or Bankruptcy. If Cozi should ever file for bankruptcy or have its assets sold to or merge with another entity, information Cozi receives from you from this site is a Cozi asset and may be transferred.
  
  
  
  You don't own your data. Anything you put into the database (including your kids' schedules) can get transferred to someone else. Do you really want someone else knowing where your kids are?
  
  
  
  Missing from the privacy policy is how they will protect the data from insiders at Cozi. Knowing schedules can be really valuable -- when can I break into your house, where can I snatch your kids, etc.
  
  
  
  There's no way to "opt out" of the 3rd-party advertising. Yes, that's how the service is paid for, but I can at least fast-forward through commercials on TV.
  
  
  
  This service could be useful, but it doesn't pass my security review. Use paper and some discipline... In reply to: "Getting Mom and Dad on the same calendar page"
