Why a Privacy Service?

The Internet has revolutionized the way we communicate and share information. Unfortunately, the eagerness to capitalize on this revolution has led to personal privacy and security becoming secondary concerns. The preponderance of privacy-related shortcomings in web technology and policy illustrates very clearly that user privacy and security are not major concerns for browser companies or web site administrators.

Whether you know it or not, every time you visit a site on the Internet you provide information about yourself. You broadcast details about your geographical location, interests, browsing habits, and even the computer you are using to each site you visit and to other entities watching your network. Many web sites and ISPs log this information, compile dossiers on their users, and sell such information to advertisers and marketing firms.

Here is just some of the information we know about you. Sites that track your browsing habits, your site administrators, and other people using your computer probably know a lot more. The Anonymizer gives you the power to shield your information from prying eyes.

Anonymizer.com has been the leader in stemming the tide of online privacy invasion since 1996. We offer easy-to-use anonymous web surfing, email, and secure dialup services. In addition to our consumer services, we also offer to businesses our proxy machines to protect their internal networks from unwanted snooping. While your organization may have implemented a security policy aimed at preventing unauthorized entry, your employees may be unknowingly revealing information about your organization to competitors.
