Privacy Fail

Etsy users irked after buyers, purchases exposed to the world

I've bought things from Etsy, and I had no idea they had done this. Nothing I've ever bought there is remotely embarrassing, but jeez - who expects to have to opt out of "show my purchases to everyone" on an online store?

For the record, you can reclaim your privacy by updating your settings, but until you do so manually, your name, email, purchases and favorites are all public and searchable.
