I hate to be a Debby downer, but I'm constantly unsure if I'm happy with Google being able to read my emails, let alone a random company out of nowhere.
It's unfortunate, because there is a huge opportunity for cool things to come out of handing your email over to some company (including this app I'm sure) but the risk right now is just too great.
Hmm. Unroll.me is owned by Slice, I wonder if Slice has a different policy regarding selling aggregate user data (since it also scans your inbox, but to find shipping and delivery emails).
The subsections "Vendors and Suppliers" and "Anonymous Use and Sharing" on section V "How we share your information" are quite vague ...
If you're going to charge me a subscription instead of mining and selling (even abstract insights), I'm game. But first you have to promise you'll never mine and sell my inbox.

Edit: nm. This only happened this week, and I missed the news. Just Googled it and found out.
