Tapatalk using information inappropriately??
Mods, I'm a moderator on another site and our admin posted this about tapatalk. I have not verified the validity of it, but if true, it may be worthy of an announcement.
I recently found out that the company who makes the app (Tapatalk) has started to store user information from forums and have begun to sell advertising based upon this information. We don't sell your info and we don't like the fact that we can't have control over that aspect to keep others from doing it. Another reason is that we like to have control over our community and we don't like some of the tactics used by Tapatalk to force us to comply with their methodology. They also will not support the full features of our forum and it leaves for an incomplete experience for some users at times.

We don't use Tapatalk here for many of those same reasons and IB has posted similar responses when members have asked "why not" in this very forum.
