I'm in the exact same boat. I signed up years ago and still get annoying nag emails. I also can't find any way to make it stop.

I'm not saying that I want you to dig into your DB by hand and personally write the delete statement, I'm saying you should have designed a methodology for me to do it. And don't get snide about "tech people's time" with my personal information. Obviously if the "premium accounts" have the ability to do it that methodology exists; they should have exposed the function to their free clients as well. I see this as holding my information hostage. You won't remove my HEALTH INFORMATION until I pay for an account? That's the very definition of "hostage". Did you try contacting FitDay directly, via the link provided below about your concerns? |
@ danielcarter
Also, being a software developer, you are familiar with Terms of Service. Here is FitDay's regarding your "hostage data"

Now, that's what I would call a "spirited" response!... At this point, I'd say there should be no further need to get all roused up about this topic...

I'm probably just talking to a one post wonder anyway. OPW's abound on FD. ;)

That capability was NOT built into FitDay to begin with. So I stand behind my "Now you want a tech to take the time to go in and delete all your data from 2 separate databases, on an anonymous account that nobody but you will ever know about." :p Not getting snide, stating FACTS. And your facts are **wrong**. There it NO CAPABILITY built in; only with the Premium accounts will a tech go in and delete the data. Get it? Good! :p Take that, software developer! :p By the way... "exposed the function"??? Do you mean GIVEN PERMISSIONS??? You don't even talk like a developer so I call you on this as well. |
Thanks anyway
My information may be wrong, but I got that information directly from this very thread.
01gt4.6 said: we have been told that the only accounts that can be deleted are premium accounts, non paying members can just stop using the site at any time. Also, by the way, you were getting snide. You still are. This next statement is snide. VitoVino said: Not getting snide, stating FACTS. And your facts are **wrong**. There it NO CAPABILITY built in; only with the Premium accounts will a tech go in and delete the data. Get it? Good! VitoVino said: By the way... "exposed the function"???

VitoVino said: There it NO CAPABILITY built in; only with the Premium accounts will a tech go in and delete the data. VitoVino said: I'm probably just talking to a one post wonder anyway. OPW's abound on FD. I have no desire to hear from you again, although I'm sure I will. I will be ignoring any further "advice" or "help" that you provide. Now, to acknowledge a more reasonable post: 01gt4.6 What emails are you referring to and how often do you get them? I don't know if I've ever received an email from FitDay. And for me, the concern over my personal health data is of more important. People's fitness is a very personal matter. |
danielcarter, as far as emails I must not get them because I'm already a premium member. Does your email service let you block an email address or report at spam? Have you tried to change your email address under the profile tab?

@ danelledawnc
AND @ danielcarter Complain all you want about your data not getting deleted, and how it's being held "hostage". And since you demand a shoulder to cry on, and tell me I'm "rude" for stating the cold hard facts, I offer you this: http://www.gad.net/Blog/wp-content/u...sueBox-800.jpg |
Ha, nice, you found an image of a tissue box, you're so clever VitoVino. Pretty funny too. And much smarter than me, wow.
01gt4.6 I just received another email (Subject "The Guide to Skinny Summer Drinks – June 2012"), so I would say that marks an increase in email activity from the system. I could just mark these emails as spam, and will do so if I must, but the emails are a reminder that I have personal health data sitting in some service that I can't redact or remove. Marking these as spam would kinda be like taking Advil for a severed limb. It would abate my immediate symptoms, but there's still the underlying problem (that being my perpetual membership on some site I don't use.) |
