We apologize for this mix-up. As part of our sign-up process, there is a checkbox to invite all of your contacts to Spock. After the checkbox, there is a pop-up that ensures that you want to invite all your contacts. Our logs show that when you signed up, the checkbox was selected to invite all of your contacts. It’s possible you overlooked this checkbox and pop-up, opting in to invite your contacts. We are not trying to spam your contacts, as we thought we had your permission. Your contacts will not be e-mailed again. Again, we apologize for this inconvenience. We’re working to make sure this doesn’t happen again. We never e-mail your contacts without your authorization. Because of your comment, we are going to make this feature more apparent in the UI. Our engineers are already working on the change. Best, Maia Hi,
