OK, the only thing I use epassporte is for paying and get paid. Same as 99.99% of epassporte users. So which "certain options" will I be unable to access? what with the mistery? why don't they put EXACTLY what does it means? Will I be able to get my funds? will I be able to pay? what? I can't think of anything else to do with epassporte, so it must be one or the other
Plus, when I contract a service, I contract it for some specific purpose. In this case, for the provision of financial services. I signed stuff, did everything they asked for even when they're changing their mind every month and now it seems I'm dealing with a ghost company with no real localization, just a never heard before name. All my info was given to them without even ask for permission and my only resource is to tell them to not give what was already given.
And on top of that, it happens after they required a shitload of paperwork as if they couldn't work without it (I had my card for years and never had a problem and all of the sudden they need a lot of info as if the credit card I used to fund the account wouldn't be rejected if it had fake info. Yes, sure)
I don't know, either I'm too paranoid or some people around here is extremely naive, in my experience nothing good happened out of things like this. Never. And I've the feeling it won't happen this time either.

I think they are basically becoming like most other credit cards out there and they see a chance to make some extra money by selling info to advertisers. Just about every bank and credit card provider out there does it, and I think Epassporte wants to get in on some of that money.
I'm not sure you actually lose access to anything for opting out of letting them release your personal information. The way I read and understand the passage is that you can choose to not give them personal information, but then you won't get to use their service, but you can opt out of allowing them to disclose that information to advertisers if you wish..
I think I will email them and ask them for some clarification and see what they say.
