The privacy in the web

As you have learned, in the web all content is created by people and linked together. That holds many advantages and on same time, many dangers in it.
It all depends on peoples behaviour, aims and creativity.

When we are talking about the risks of loosing our privacy by using the web then it is only half of the truth.

The collection of data started long before the web became a general platform for communication and sharing of content.

The registration office in your town, your insurance, your bank, your school - all are collecting data from you.

 

Have you ever read their terms of privacy?

 

Whatever you do offline and online, be careful and check double, which data you leave and who can get access to it.

 

For online users, there are some simple ways to protect yourself:


  • take care where you surf

  • be careful with registrations
