If you live in the United States and possibly elsewhere, you most
likely have been receiving "Privacy Policies" in the mail.
Businesses are getting these policies into the hands of their
customers in an effort to help educate consumers on what
information is being collected about them and how it is being
used.
The Internet has brought this "problem" to the forefront of
consumers' minds. Data has always been collected and sold in the
past through catalog, direct mail, telemarketing, and even
software companies. Remember all those registration cards you
used to fill out? Much of that information is sold to other
companies. Many companies collect a sizeable portion of their
yearly income through mailing list rental fees. However, this
article is not about the pros and cons of gathering names and
renting them. I have my opinions about the practice but don't
want to start a debate about that topic either here or in email.
