NO - and it is not the first time either. I had to close a previous account because of this issue. VERY DISAPPOINTING. The personal data can only have been revealed by someone from chess.com.
Someone at Chess.com revealing personal data
Sort:
That's a pretty broad and vague accusation you're making. I call bs, but am happy to be proven wrong.
I used to have an account on FICS. How is it that they know which account when I haven't ever said to anyone which account that I had. My understanding is that someone checked either the IP address of the account or the email of both accounts. So someone must have disclosed either detail to outsiders.

@Joobla Oh no! If you figure out who revealed it (if it is on Chess.com) report them straight away!
You can report about those people when you are doing your thing. There is usually a thing called "report abuse", click it and Chess.com can help.
What kind of information did they tell, also do you have proof that you did not give them any info or that they gave info to somebody?

Just out of curiosity, how am I supposed to have PROOF that I didn't give the info or that they gave info to someone???? Please explain and I will ... But it is impossible how they know my USER NAME at FICS as I have said nothing and no postings until now. That info could only have come if someone at FICS had assisted with information.

I couldn't care less about it per se. What I am not comfortable with is that someone at Chess.com must have assisted someone with certain private information. That is my issue !!!
Obviously not. Notice how he uses the word "someone"? Think about it.

The site does not reveal any personal data that you don't provide. If you use an email address tied to you personally, the the friend look up feature can result in members linking you like that.
Also, if you join the same clubs as your previous accounts, it probably wouldn't be that hard for someone to figure out who you are if they knew your previous account as well.
This is extremely disconcerting. There is nothing on my chess.com profile to say who I am. However, several people are making personal comments which means that someone at chess.com has revealed my personal data!!!
Very bad and I thought that is ILLEGAL!
