Kiwis warned of online privacy issues - Technology. Internet experts have warned of New Zealanders' carefree attitude to online privacy, saying that most of our personal data is held by foreign companies which are not subject to New Zealand law or ethics.
IT specialists, watchdogs, politicians, bloggers and others gathered yesterday in Wellington for a major privacy forum Think Big? Privacy in the Age of Big Data. Minister of Justice Judith Collins told the forum: "A post or status update today may be capable of being retrieved in 5, 10 or 100 years. "And there is no way of telling who might be able to retrieve that information in the future as personal information stored overseas is not necessarily protected from use and disclosure like it is in New Zealand. " British Telecom chief security technology officer Bruce Schneier said a change had occurred in the posting and collection of personal data online. "Google knows more about what I'm interested in than my wife does.... and it is all stored and searchable.
Why Your Web Site's Privacy Policy Matters More Than You Think. Posted by: Nick Leiber on August 12, 2009 This is a post by guest blogger Jonathan I.
Ezor. One of the biggest concerns among visitors to Web sites is how their personal information is going to be used. This isn’t a new development; back in March of 2000, BusinessWeek did a cover story on Internet privacy, including a survey showing that the vast majority of users were either very or somewhat concerned about how their information would be used. The same cover story discussed how best to inform and reassure users. Unfortunately, while the number of businesses with Web sites has continued to expand, as has the sites’ sophistication, the level of disclosure of data practices has not significantly improved. Keep in mind that a privacy policy is a disclosure document, whose purpose is to inform (and therefore protect) consumers. How do well-meaning companies get themselves into trouble with their privacy policies? Don’t forget that your privacy policy has to remain accurate over time.
