I totally respect that.

As I have been talking to people, I have noticed people who are frequently shopping and checking out products are WAY more ahead of the game because they are exposed to more ideas.

I hate shopping so this was my way of trying to quickly get at good ideas while quickly removing bad ideas.

I've been thinking a LOT about the user data collection side. The app is pretty explicit in terms of trying to narrow in on preferences. It's kind of a requirement if you are going to help someone find a unique gift. But it still feels a too much like data harvesting. So how to strike that balance?

Right now I believe I have turned off all ad/app tracking (although I am pretty new at this so maybe I've messed something up. If you know more about this than I do and you see something wrong please let me know). As a user, I only want the information I share to be used for THIS purpose. Not to keep spamming me with more ads.

If I could figure out a way to give you more control over your own data would this still be a flop for you?

For me? Probably not, but you shouldn't target me, I'm pretty out of the mainstream. As far as data use, I would think your best bet is plain language describing what you do with it, and of course complying with relevant law.

Clearly describing your use close to where it is entered would make you more user-respectful than probably 95% of random internet services, and I would think would satisfy nearly everyone.
