Comment (by coffee2code):

 I agree the "will not" is missing, but the sentence still reads a bit
 awkwardly. To improve upon the fixed text of:

 > We will not use the information you provide to register for an account,
 attend our events, receive newsletters, use certain other services, or
 participate in the WordPress open source project in any other way.

 I committed:

 > We will not use the information you provide ''when you'' register for an
 account, attend our events, receive newsletters, use certain other
 services, or participate in the WordPress open source project in any other
 way.

 (Emphasis mine.) The original text could be (mis)read to mean that "we
 will not use the information you provide" to then do these other things
 (i.e. register for an account, sign them up for newsletters), or in any
 other way.

 Whereas, what we mean is that the information they provide '''''from doing
 or having already done certain things''''' (e.g. registering for an
 account, signing up for newsletters) will not be used in any other way.
