a Facebook situation since we do offer a Facebook connect feature. This is created by the TOS (Terms of Service) of the Facebook Mobile Messenger app. If you have downloaded this app, the article in the Huffington Post, "The Insidiousness of Facebook Messenger's Mobile App Terms of Service" is a must read.

From the article, here are a few of the more disturbing things you have agreed to when you use the app:
"word for word, a few of the most aggressive app permission you've accepted.

There is no way that Negril.com would ever create any application that would invade your privacy. We do not even allow your email addresses to be used by anyone. One of our previous managers years ago allowed that once, needless to say they no longer work for us. We value your privacy.
But for the Facebook Mobile Messenger app to use your contact info, camera, microphone, video, etc without your knowledge or confirmation is something anyone using Facebook should take seriously. While using their app, they can record anything you say, take your picture, video the place where you are, find out who and when you talk or text people and keep track of what your friends and family say or send to you. This is the privacy you give up when using the Facebook Mobile Messenger app.
