Comments, ratings, recommendations

This information is meant to be shared and by itself is not considered personally-identifiable. It is automatically shared with your connected friends. It is also accessible by the rest of RECMOS users, including business and service owners in an aggregate form (without your name, email or other personally identifying information).
Session data

Likewise, you can see your friends' activity and feedback on RECMOS. Beyond your connected list of friends your feedback, ratings, recommendations and other feedback is shared in an aggregate form only, without your name or any other personally identifiable information.
