Your assurance that you found their declared privacy policy to be acceptable is not sufficient. You have elected to risk my private data because it saves FastMail money and resources.

Possibly leaking some data accidentally to a service whose main business is not about data collection and marketing is a totally different matter. There, it would be nice to know the services you use and how you use them, but they do not really concern me.
