The implication here is kind of funny in that even if you do write legal stuff in language that your customers can understand, most of them still won't read it. And to be fair, I'm guilty of this more often than not.
Smart PR move and motivation to read more privacy policies.
Looks like they only offer one plan, $99/month, which is pretty steep but must offset what other carriers make selling customer info. That's about double what I'm paying now but I do like the idea.
Nice privacy policy. They store the absolute minimum PII.
In The Netherlands some 6 million people’s PII was stolen from mobile service provider Odido after Salesforce warned them for the tactics used by hacker group Shinyhunters https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47226542
"email us for a chance to win a free trip to Switzerland"
A chance to win is not enough motivation for me to actually write the email. I would assume it was simply an opportunity to collect email addresses, so I (personally) am not to likely to email them even if I did fully read their privacy policy.
The fine print itself needs fine print, without any more details I'd assume that I have to pay for the plane ride there and they give me the crappiest hotel.

Was that "you didn't put that in your privacy policy" or "your policy is illegal"?
