[E-trademarks] first oddity of the day in Trademark Center

Very early on in the click path for TC, the would-be filer is forced to 
enter into an adhesion contract by means of a check box, one of the 
terms of which is:

    you acknowledge and agree that YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO CONFIDENTIALITY
    in the information disclosed.

This is false.  The Trademark Office promises its customers that indeed 
the applicant domicile address and applicant email address will be kept 
in confidence.

It seems to me that the developers of TC need to correct this part of 
the adhesion contract.  An example of non-false wording might be:

      you acknowledge and agree that aside from the the applicant
    domicile address and applicant email address, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO
    CONFIDENTIALITY in the information disclosed.
