So why should I care about Internet Privacy?
Every time you go online, personal data about you and the web sites you visit is tracked and compiled.
This is done to create an online profile of you that can even include your real-world identity, your credit card number, and more.
Anything you disclose in an online discussion or chat can be recorded and archived permanently. In the future, job or insurance applications could include a search for everything you have ever discussed or researched online.
No laws restrict the use or sale of this personal data. Virtually anyone can get it; from insurers, employers, telemarketers and the government to identity thieves, scam artists and stalkers.
It's up to you to protect yourself. Use Anonymizer.com to take back control and protect your personal information.
