Actually the usage of Nooper is voluntarily (its a free service),
so you are not forced at all to use Nooper, to give Nooper more
information as you want (only registration to your *mobile* address
is required to use Nooper) and its by design a double opt-in
and easy opt-out service.
So first: If you have concerns, don't use it. You can also unregister
anytime and get permanently deleted out of the database:
MainMenu->Settings->Unregister->Confirm->Done.
Only the use of our Mail Checker Noopie requires of course your
login information to your POP server (or whatever), but even here:
Don't use it if you have concerns.

As I stated before, Nooper is now in a transition phase, gets a new
layout and texts and ValueClick as a public traded company is much
more monitored than "Nooper.com - Mobile Services Inc." ever was, so
you can be sure that lawyers look (and looked already) into this.

PS: I noticed Keitai-L has no privacy policy either ;)
