This was because of the company's privacy policy which stated that the company collects and shares individuals' information with third party clients. This practice would make most all Wild Tangent programs spyware, enabling it to gather information and data from the user. This would make the user susceptible to advertising attacks.

The Wild Tangent Company recently changed its privacy policy to reflect the change in data gathering.
