Starbucks on Facebook, can it get any better?

I'm SURE the majority of you are not like me when it comes to Starbucks , but this is great regardless! As many companies are taking their products to social media outlets, Starbucks is no different and perhaps one of the first companies to do so. Instead of going to the Starbucks website to check my card balance, I can just check it through the easy Facebook Application. As much as we like to protect our privacy, we know that the consistent changes on Facebook makes it harder than ever, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try. By adding any application on Facebook, we are allowing that application access to our information, but isn't anything we put on the internet accessible to others? Even though Starbucks may be one of those applications that can access our information, we know that such a big company won't do anything to risk its image. If anyone ever catches the terms of service and actually reads it, it should say somewhere in there that our information is as secure as when we log in through the actual Starbucks website...right?
