I was not aware of this aspect of the privacy policy - in fact I'm not sure I've ever seen a link to the tools labs privacy policy. Is it linked somewhere prominent and I just glazed over at that point? Or does it need more prominent promotion?
I'm on holiday camping for the next week but when I get back I will change my tool to no longer link to external js resources.
