Where do you see it asking for contacts? It didn't ask me when I signed up and when I check my Google Security settings it only says it has access to:

* View your basic profile info (per Google: name, email address, and profile picture)

* View your email address

Hi Weizilla; that's interesting!

At approximately 14:00EST, clicking on "Get Started", then inputting a gmail address, offered ability to login via Google; then, request for contact permission. There was no way to avoid it.

As of right now, 16:22EST, that behaviour is different and I'm no longer seeing the prompt. I've tried different computers & laptops/browsers, to ensure it's not some cached/cookied experience, but it _appears_ the actual request is no longer being sent. Not sure!

Not surprising they're watching this thread, it would be a pretty massive deal inside a small company.
