The bot seemed to be mining personal information from me.

If you think about it, people are voluntarily disclosing all things about themselves which can be stored and sold on.



I can guarantee you nothing is getting sold- the only people to whom the information is available to is in the psychometrics page which is available to you, and it is all stored on cookies on your end which you can actually see with your browser.


Sorry Sean, I should be more trusting. You've done a great job, buddy. Don't let pessimistic, depressed old farts like me put you off ;)
