Question

First, take a look at your key ring. How many key swipes do you have from different merchants, such as Giant Eagle, Kroger, the library, the gym, your favorite store? Next, make a list of the online retailers you have purchased items from in the past. Now, how about your favorite search engine? After compiling this list, conduct online research on the privacy policies on at least 6 companies. Analyze data by comparing and contrasting the companies. Write a 1/2 page paragraph on your findings, without copying and pasting information from the retailer websites. Were you surprised about your findings? What did you learn? Will you change your spending habits?

Explanation / Answer

Well, actually I am a bit surprised after going through the privacy details of the site from where I usually buy products online. About the biggest surprise that I came across is that the sites takes our data from ourselves as well as from other sources too, that too without us being told.

About learning, the only thing that I have learnt after going through the different privacy polocies of various online shopping sites is that one has to be really cautious while providing the personal information to these sites on the internet.

Well, after viewing these details I will surely take a serious look on the way I shop on the internet and the way I order the various products.

Regards.
