  I am really, REALLY disappointed to be receiving unsolicited emails that are clearly a result of wordpress sharing my information to third parties.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Sorry – but WordPress.COM is real strict about your email – they will not share it with ANYONE – period end –

  I you don’t believe me I will flag this for the staff and they will tell you the same thing, as I have seen them state their policy dozens of times

  That is what I thought. But I signed up on wordpress with a name I don’t use anywhere else. Period. And that is the name I am being addressed by in these emails.

  Where are the emails coming from?

  Is the email the one associated with the account you are logged in with the account northernkid?

  I have been here several years and have yet to receive an email that looked like it was the result of sharing by WordPress.COM – but the staff are the ones that can help double check things for you

  Yes. I would have contacted staff directly but I didn’t see how to.

  I have flagged this for the staff – they will probably move things to email to preserve your privacy

  I’m happy to look into this for you. I’ll send you a private email so we can discuss it there.
