Not really, but anyway "the internet" isn't a problem. Different companies can hold different data on you.

But they stay disconnected.

Are you worried about A.T.A sharing your data with a) legal entities or b) companies that merge with and comprise their body in various ways?
Yeah B could be bad. Is that Alphabet? Could it be handed up to Alphabet?

I think the answer is: probably not.

The data they collect like device type and IP addresses, I have seen used for technical support and addressing glitches, as well as for IP bans (which only happen in severe cases).

The different data they collect serves different purposes and isn't collaborated/conglomerated with major internet entities that have other data on us, and put together.

That is to say that I don't believe there is one big company that collects and links your internet data to your birth record or IP address in a way that would be overly concerning.

It's important to be critical of what they collect otherwise you can end up sounding paranoid.

I would ask for clarification on the last bit about giving the data to buyers or mergers.
"provided that we inform the buyer it must use your personal information only for the purposes disclosed in this Privacy Notice" this stipulation is the main thing reassuring us that our data will be in good hands but I don't think it does well enough. There is no indication of appropriate selection of the data shared... Sounds like some company could ask for everything on you and then take it, and pass it on to a company that maybe manages its finances on the front but actually conglomerates your data and disregards privacy policies in the background.

Dude, why are you getting mad? Also pens have nothing to do with this. Using extra jargon to demonstrate your field is unnecessary because appealing to your field and not even using concrete reason is bs.

Are you worried about a.t.a's data servers being hacked and scanned? Or about what they willingly give away?

Please note that in order to access Email Link technology, you will need to update your PIMD to the latest version at the App Store. If you are already on the latest version, simply restart your app! Please note that Email Linking is only available to brand new accounts made after this feature release.

Hey all! Here's a quick intro on how Email Link works!

The tl;dr:
(because everyone knows the tl;dr should go at the top of the giant blocks of text and not after it):

☞ This only applies to new accounts that register with an ATA ID after this feature is released.
☞ Email Link makes it so you never have to remember a pesky password! The Email Link will be sent to the verified email address/ATA ID you set up on your account and you can use that to recover an account!
☞ You can still choose to use a password, but you won't be able to use the Email Link method for account recovery.
☞ You can update your ATA ID without ATA's help moving forward!



***

Registering a New Account
When you register your brand new account with an ATA ID, the Email Link will be your default login method. You can still decide to use a password instead of the Email Link by tapping on the password option instead! Note that once you've decided to use a password, you won't be able to use Email Link as a way to log in.

Once you enter your desired email address, you will receive an email asking you to verify that email address. Once you've verified it, you're ready to go! You can now use Email Link to log in to your PIMD account anytime, anywhere!


Using Email Link to Login
To log in to your PIMD account, simply hit 'Recover Account'. Type in your ATA ID. You will then receive your Email Link! All you have to do is head to your email inbox, tap on the Login button, and this will open up your PIMD account on your device. Hurray! Easy as pie. 🥧


Changing Your ATA ID – Available to ALL Existing Accounts!
With this new update, you can change your ATA ID yourself without having to wait for Apes to finish eating their bananas smoothies to help you out!

Simply head to your account page, tap on 'Change My Email' and type in your new desired ATA ID. You will also be asked to enter your account's password to confirm it's you. Once you hit 'Change Email', you will receive an email asking you to verify the email address change. As soon as you confirm, your ATA ID is now updated!

Note that your password is going to remain the same with the updated ATA ID and changing it is a separate process.


Troubleshooting



I made an account before this feature – can I still use Email Linking?
Nope. This feature is only available to new accounts!

I signed up for Email Link but didn't get an email!
If you didn't receive the email, check in your Spam/Junk folder. Sometimes, it can also take a couple minutes to arrive. Make sure you've typed your email in properly!

I got the link but it says it's expired!
Your Email Link can only be used once and will expire after 30 minutes. So get to it!

I got the link but it won't open PIMD!
You must click on the email button from the same device that requested the link. If you try to open the link from a desktop or a different device, it won't work!

Another possibility: make sure PIMD is still installed. The link must be opened with PIMD (see the example below for Android). If that still doesn't work, try accessing your email from a different app (if you are on Android and if checking emails from a browser, Chrome seems to work best!).

There’s a slight chance of asking you 7 questions but I don’t think you’ll be that lucky. On any case you can tell ur friend his better off starting a new account.

If you linked the same email to this account then your main has been unlinked. So send a help ticket to ata explaining the situation. Then anser the security questions. Then provide them with a different email address for them to link the account to
