    And then their kickstarter survey, for a key with no add-ons, required an insane amount of personal information. I think they claimed it was for VAT but saw a few “ask a lawyer” threads that pointed out that was nonsense and could have been done with a checkbox.

    Not heard about that? Who did they do the survey through?

      Not sure if they had a third party manage it for them (there has been a LONG history of super vague “secret” dealings) but it was for their kickstarter rewards through backerkit or whatever. So the same survey you get asking how many extra books you want to buy or whatever.

        Ah, that’s actually a really common thing and quite normal really for reward systems. Although Kickstarter just announced their own in-house solution, finally.
