by Firefox user 16133010, 4 years agoMy review is based solely on how misleading Workona is about the privacy of your data. Their "About this extension" section on the Firefox add-on page says "Your data belongs to you and we store it for the sole purpose of providing value to you." That might make some people feel good to read, but it's completely misleading -- they don't technically sell your data, but if you read their privacy policy, they do make money off of it with advertising and use it for advertisers. Their privacy policy also says they don't respect browser "Do No Track" options because there is "no common industry or legal standard for DNT" -- sounds like they're saying they don't follow it because they legally don't have to.
Really disappointed that they go out of their way to say they respect privacy on an outward facing description of their product. Shame on you. Privacy and "Your data belongs to you" means something different that what your company is about, so don't twist words into nice-sounding marketing phrases and misrepresent yourself to consumers.
Small details reveal a lot, and I think this is revealing. But either way, Workona, you should change or remove the misleading description on your "About" page.
And I'm hoping your reasoning for these choices in data "privacy" is not "Well, this is just how the industry is," as if it makes it okay to do things just because other people do them.
