So I've said three times I'm not going to take a selfie with my license, so how is retaining my non-selfie license and proof of address fulfilling the second and fourth portion of your privacy policy?

Also,


ah, i get it now!  the college escapee and ebonics part was just the warm-up

But violating your own privacy policy isn't so bright

Still there.

Is there some btcjam person that uses these forums?  Their support tickets, direct email, and starting topics about their crap customer support doesn't get results

she believes in and practices a personal approach of open communication with BTCjammers

ok, alexis, hit me up

this is the last time I'm going to bump this thread.  call it an advisory, if you ever plan on doing business with btcjam (btcjam.com)

I have once again submitted a message to "support" to remove my proof of identity and proof of residence photos due to the fact that they will never be approved as I won't be submitting the requested followup information (initially sent on July 27th, with follow-up).  Also included request to terminate my account, to remove any possible loopholes regarding the company's violation of their privacy policy (doubtful that it'd matter in this case, but not like I ever intend on using the site again).

Sending a certified letter to the business address noted on website (1 Bluxome St., San Francisco, CA 94107) detailing this same info if there isn't a response in a reasonable time frame. I'd do it immediately, but, well, don't see how it's possible to plead monetary loss and I'm damn near certain that'd be required, since this all boils down to a breach of contract... no reason to rush, maybe someone else will discover that these photos are available publicly on amazonaws.  Oh, wait..

IC3 is a bit of a joke, but I suppose I'll put some junk on there as well.  AFAIK, they don't do anything unless they've received enough complaints about a business.
