Actually I do consider it SPAM as it was not directly sent from FlyerTalk and that is who the current privacy policy was written from and to. The confusing part is a single member on this thread is saying that they received similar emails that included "And most of the mailings relate to penny stocks or organ enlargement.". No one else seems to be reporting this and that is the focus of our research since we regard this as far more serious.

While i have no control of these issues, i can certainly let others know I am not pleased and work toward getting these things corrected–for now and well into the future.

It's actually not really a data privacy issue, but just another degradation of the FT experience, as far as I can tell.
