I prodded unroll.me a couple of years ago about their data retention policy. Their answer was sketchy so I ended up not using the service. I'm surprised it took this long for someone with reach to look into them.

I interviewed with them a number of years ago, and particularly remembered after the initial wave of interviews asking what they felt about their moral obligation to protect users data because they had full read/write access to emails. The response was overly vague and generic, so I wrote them off and immediately removed myself from their service. I wasn't expecting them to be a company a number of years later, and I didn't expect them to have been tied into this. It's mind boggling to think that had I not asked that question, I likely would have continued for my onsite interview and could very well have been an employee with them at this time.
