Why is it that a licensed medical provider is allowed to put my personal information into a system that:

• is proprietary and closed-source;
• requires JavaScript just to display a login page;
• has a lengthy legalese "terms and conditions" that purports to automatically apply upon my use of the service before I've even read it;
• explicitly states that they aren't obligated to keep backups or make the info available to anyone;
• was implemented without notifying me?

How is this even legal?

Ooh, here's a good one from the TOS at virtru.com/terms-of-service/ :

2.2 Restrictions. You shall not, without the prior written consent of Virtru:
[...]
(g) perform, or release the results of, benchmark tests or other comparisons of the Materials or Virtru Basic Services with other programs or services

*laughs* So you can't even compare it to others to see who sucks worst.

Oops, I think I violated 2.2(d) just by quoting that bit. *snickers*
