That's not the issue. Is the uncertainty of unwittingly signing yourself or the recipient up for junkmail or yourself for more spam.

Exactly.

If the website were European, I'd expect a tick-box to opt out from marketing (email or snail mail), which the company would be bound by.

Ah cool.

Also, what data is collected permanently, for how long? What happens if the venture where acquired? Whom would own that?

as posted on the website no data is stored. Data is not shared/sold. if we get donations this will keep working, otherwise we will close it. this is it.
