The customer service isn’t always perfect However, it’s not perfect. PCMag and Hauptplatine conducted a joint investigation and found that the company shares user information such as’ locations and Internet Protocol addresses with third-party companies. This could create privacy worries for some. The paid plans do not provide enough benefits to justify the additional cost. Lastly, its forum was recently hacked which allowed thieves to acquire usernames as well as user names, emails and passwords that were hashed. Fortunately, the information regarding payments was not compromised. The company has pledged to rebuild the forum with a new platform that’s more efficient plus more secure. The company also has a security policy which states that it will not sell or share your personal information with any third parties without your authorization.
