Protect Your Privacy

The World Wide Web is a gateway to tons of information and entertainment. People of all types use the Internet to explore the millions of sites made available by different companies, entrepreneurs, and sometimes “average Joes.” From CNN.com to blogs of interest, we all seem to take pleasure in its service. Browsing websites may not be as harmless as some may believe.

More and more businesses are starting to offer their services online. They are allowing their customers to pay bills, sign up for email notifications, and other paperless benefits. Many times you are asked to provide a phone number, address, or date-of-birth. If you aren’t careful enough, you may give out too much personal information.

How do you know if you are giving these companies too much information about you or your family? Where do you draw the line at providing more than what is really needed?

As a user, it is your responsibility to read the fine print! Do not be naive by thinking that every company is going to protect your privacy. Do your research and ask questions before you decide to give out personal information. If you ever read, ‘We pledge never to sell, distribute, or disclose the information you provide to us to any third party’, than you know your information is safe.
