Path is one of the most well-managed apps I have had the privilege of using to date. Their response to this 'scandal' was as close to flawless as it gets.
Not only did they take full responsibility for what they did and apologize instead of making excuses, they deleted all the data people were concerned about, wrote a well-worded blog post about it that hit the top of hacker news within a couple hours, AND pushed a fix for the issue to the app store all within less than a day of the concern becoming public.
Path's attention to detail not only in the gorgeous design and user experience of their app, but in the way they handle PR crises like this one only makes me trust them more. Well done Path, well done.
