I noted the following disclaimer today attached to a comment page for a
software plugin, (Progressive development on social networking coupled
to web site content evaluation/blogs), and, considering the DP
principles wondered:-
1. what the list thinks about the effectiveness of such fair
processing notice disclaimers;
2. would their organisation process the personal comments made via
such products?
The add on is called 'Reframe It' and the link is:-

Amendment
I'm provisionally giving Reframe It 5 stars. It's a great idea and I
genuinely expect to love it.
I must add however, that though I agree to grant Reframe It unlimited
and complete use of my comments in promotional screenshots, I retain
the right to use my personal content anywhere I choose, and will do so
freely at any time and in any venue of my choosing.
I have negotiated contracts before. Agreements like that represented
in your proffer of a disclaimer--especially agreements specific to the
Internet, or indeed, any agreement at all in real life--only try to
civilize what is always, in fact, The Wild West. In the Wild West,
parties put their guns on the table and agree to attempt to agree. It
is in that spirit I have agreed to your off-putting assertion of all
rights generally when you only need one specific right. I have agreed
to that specific right, but my agreement stops there.
Should you wish not to accept my transfer of certain rights to you by
my amendment to your License, you are free to cancel my Reframe It
account instantly. Should you choose not to cancel, I will take it as
tacit agreement to the condition I have set forth.
And, yes, guys, Creative Commons might work better for you."
