I can confirm that I indeed have an IrisCouch account, so it seems that explains it. I wasn't aware of the Iris Couch - CouchBase connection.
I probably checked a box stating I'd read the privacy policy which, as usual, I did not. As far as privacy policies go it's actually pretty clear and to-the-point, so I praise them for that, but it seems something like this line should be highlighted a bit better. Or maybe I should just read privacy policies before I accept them. Anyway, if you're not the customer you're the product; no such thing as a free lunch, etc. I think I would have happily accepted these terms for the free Iris Couch account anyway, it would just be nice if they were laid out up front and centre.
