Interesting Report Published On Web Privacy


KnowPrivacy published an interesting report on Web privacy:

One of the key findings is that “Users lack awareness of some data collection practices”. And even if I was aware of such practices, I’m disappointed by the Privacy Policy analysis below:

So 100% of the 50 most visited Web Site collect IP address. And it is unclear for most of them, what they do with it: Data retention policy is unclear for most of the sites.

The bottom line is that every web user should at least periodically start to use privacy protection tools like TOR. And also we should start to use alternative search engines like ixquick that doesn’t collect IP address.
