It is of course your choice to participate.  However, to not do so on basis of 
that is kinda silly to me.  Pretty much everything out there has a ToS that 
is very similar to that.  I normally accept them, and go with the idea that 
if there is information(such as phone #s, addresses, ssn, sometimes even 
proper name) I don't wish to disclose, I don't.  So far, that site seems 
pretty tame...
