Baibhav posted this screenshot down the thread, but I wanted to add some more context.

We followed up with our ex-employee to get the final (cutoff) message in this email thread https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/firescript-577a2...

In it he tries to explain that these are help graph transactions they are seeing. I do apologize if you didn't understand it at the time, but we did try to explain it to you. I Hope this clears up everything for anyone following along.

What the hell. Thank you for keeping the receipts. That's astonishingly not-ok.

  • Hey, clarifying

    Roam actually DID NOT READ THEIR DATA (we have always had the policy of never accessing user data without explicit user permission). She just misunderstood what she was looking at.

    • Got it. Not being an expert on that, I’ll take you at your word.

      But in the spirit of constructive criticism, your user had been carrying that belief for 5 years now because no one explained it when they originally reported the finding.
