RealID info

Q u o t e:
I'm considering using RealID and I have one concern that might have already been asked.

It turned out with Facebook that we weren't the customers, we were the product that facebook was selling. If I opt to use RealID am I giving you permission to sell my info ( name - email address ) to companies in order for them to contact me to sell thier products to?

Thanks in advance,
Chylli
