I was part of a human subject research study without my consent
We got this email at my startup. We freaked out too, we're not from California (or even the US), we're not end-user facing so usually privacy stuff goes to our customers. We'd never received a mail like that. We responded with a kind reply, but had a lot of internal discussion. Our nice response included questions which never got answers. Because screw real people, right?Experiments like these are training well-meaning people to ignore real privacy requests.
