I haven't seen any reports of them abusing the information they have and
their privacy policy says they will never sell your information to third
parties.

That said, any privacy policy isn't worth the paper it's printed on.
They can change it any time they feel like it.

Last time I checked, they only offered a free service, with plans to
offer a corporate paid service in the future. Beware of corporations
without a revenue stream holding your personal information.

No evidence of them abusing the data they hold, but if anyone sent me a
request through Plaxo, I'd ask them to remove all my information from
the site on principal.

Evidence shows Cyveillance abuse internet resources.
I recommend unchecking their box in SpamCop reports.
Cyveillance are part of the problem.
They are not part of the solution.
