Keywords

Facebook; challenge questions and answers; online

Information in This Chapter

How much information you should share with companies

Risks of sharing too much information online

Knowing how companies protect your information

Cookies and websites

This chapter talks about the risks of storing information online and how we can mitigate some of those risks.

Storing your personal information online

In the modern world, we all end up storing information online, even if we dont know that we are. Every company that you do business with stores information about their customers, including you, in a computer on their network. Every website that you visit on the Internet be it from your desktop computer, laptop computer, cell phone, library computer, and Internet caf is storing information about you in some form or another. That computer or system of computers in some cases runs a database that allows the customer service, sales, marketing, etc., staff to find customer information, run reports on purchase history, etc. Even when you do business with companies in person and not via the Internet, you will have information stored about your purchases within their systems.

The perfect example of this is the customer loyalty cards that are given out by grocery stores. These cards are very useful for us the customers because it gives us access to discounts that we wouldnt normally have access to without having to cut coupons and remember to bring them in. The information that the store gathers via these loyalty programs tells them everything about their customers, their shopping habits, and so on.

Note

What companies can do with this information

One of the most famous problems that has become visible to the general public happened with the large retailer. Target started sending coupons based on personal shopping habits that they tracked via their loyalty program. One specific customer, who lived with her father, began receiving coupons for prenatal vitamins and baby supplies. The father was quite upset that Target was sending his daughter, who was under the age of 18, these coupons so he went to the local Target store and complained to the store manager. The daughter then had to explain to her father that she was indeed pregnant.
