Why are you surprised? It's a free service. I assume that my data is for sale for every free service I use.
Also, the parent is Intuit which, IMO, is not exactly tops when it comes to data security and privacy.

The way it is worded, it seems like your e-mail may be used by Intuit for promotion or by third-parties bound by the same privacy policies, but certainly not sold for spam.
Same difference in my book. If you are not the original entity that I supplied my address to, and I get email from some 3rd party, that's SPAM. Sure, you could argue that it's in the T&C and that I "agreed" to it, but it's still SPAM the way I see it. And since it's a 3rd party, then that'd mean my information was sold (or otherwise bartered/traded).
