Really Bad Business Practice

by foxypenguin77·4 years ago

If I could give zero stars i would.
So i set up a Calmeo account and uploaded a PDF document. I also planned to integrate this into a website on mine. What happen next was UNBELIEVABLE, but i have evidence. A Calameo representative accessed my PDF, looked up the company contacts on the inside front cover and decided to contact the Chairman of that company to discuss an enquiry that i had emailed to Calameo the day before. Fortunately I am close with the chairman of this company and he rang and told me what was going it. He forwarded the text a Calameo rep. sent me with the evidence.
I found this business practice to be DISGUSTING and most probably a breach of data protection. Calameo are yet to acknowledge my complaint at all.
