4. Privacy concerns

While many eagerly installed friendtech, others expressed concern about the lack of a privacy policy.

For the privacy conscious, if you're considering friendtech, remember this sage advice from @DefiIgnas:

1. Sign up with an anonymous email (because they don't have a privacy policy).

2. Top up your wallet from a new wallet (which was topped up from the exchange).
