Way too permissive of a privacy policy for my tastes. I get that Kefi wants to make money but when you register for Ripple you are giving them access to a ton of information.

Hi folks,

Our team has just finished a beta and released a new version of Ripple.

Ripple spreads content and messages to people nearby, and gives those people a choice to send it to others.

We are a great way to find out about local buzz in your community and exchange with people around the world. Messages travel so far as they are relevant and engaging.
