Privacy!! Very interesting factor! These days we hear this word Privacy a lot!! What’s privacy?? Privacy is the state of being free from intrusion or disturbance! Online Privacy means being Intrusion free when using Internet!
Online Privacy has started big concern these days. Daily whenever we surf over internet we are being getting “Tracked” from everywhere! The moment we open any website we start getting tracked! Tracking is used everywhere! Why do they track?? Simple! it’s done for various purposes!! Including Advertisement , Personalisation , Studying browsing habit of a person!!
Why should we be concerned about this Online Privacy? and what can we do to stop revealing out our personal information?
Privacy is our right!! and it’s essential to protect our information! Now take an example.. We do some online transactions, our credit card information is stored at a server , and by chance if someone hacks and if our credit card information is leaked out then?? same applies to our other personal information .
Now coming to point! Google , Facebook and any other social networking site, even non social networking sites take our personal information from us. So we have to be very careful while giving out our information. Also It’s essential for us to understand we even don’t have online privacy left if we are using Android based or iOS based phones! We are being tracked all the time when we are connected to the internet!
So be careful regarding your private information!! Or it might be used improperly!! These internet Giants use all the possible ways, exploits to track us ;) so be careful always!
