Privacy Protection

By: Nicole | July 25, 2008 | Category: General

Shred Personal DocumentsYou know it’s important. Everyone is talking about it. But you’re not sure exactly what you're supposed to do. No worries. We’ve developed a new Privacy Resources page just for you.

The idea of protecting your privacy can be a new and strange concept for many people. While there have always been restrictions on how companies can use and share your personal information, today individuals must be more active in protecting themselves. The first step is learning about your privacy rights and responsibilities.

Our new privacy page brings together government and non-government resources to provide a comprehensive look at privacy issues. There are several major areas of concern, including financial privacy, medical privacy, and online privacy.

While technology has made everything from shopping to booking a flight easier, it has also become a dangerous tool for con artists and criminals. Identity theft is a very real problem, but you can take steps to minimize your risk.

In addition to these concerns, parents must think carefully about how to protect their children’s privacy. Talking to children and family members about how to protect personal information might sound like a chore, but it’s absolutely necessary.

So, check out our new page, and let us know what you think.

What can you do if some company loses your info to a hacker? You can do everything right and still be a victim. I had about $2,000 stolen from my debit card account, the credit union covered the loss, but my local police dept was uninterested in doing anything about it. No wonder it is such a big problem when the police won't even investigate it, thats the real crime. God forbid if they catch you not using your blinker, but a crime that costs me thousands and makes them nothing, they couldn't care less...
