    That’s absolutely not true. Every company on the planet is selling whatever info they can about you to databrokers to be used in advertising.

        To me it looks like they do just that:

        Interest-Based Advertising. We may work with third-party advertising companies and social media companies to help us advertise our business and to display ads for our products and services. These companies may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about you (including the online activity information and device information described above in the section called “Personal Information Automatically Collected”) over time across our Services and other websites and services or your interaction with our emails, and use that information to serve ads that they think will interest you. In addition, some of these companies may use hashed customer lists that we share with them to deliver ads to you and to similar users on their platforms.

          That is kinda confusing, looks like they partner with tracking companies to advertise nebula, and as part of that I’m guessing they’d use whether you’ve visited the signup page or contacted support, and shares a list of subscribers to Nebula so they aren’t advertised to.

          Not great, but only if you want to keep the fact that you’re subscribed to Nebula a secret.

          I’m no expert though.

            I’m no expert either, but I think the section mentioned above allows Nebula and the advertising companies to do a lot more than just collecting info about whether you visited the sign-up page or not.
