In this networked world, in which we are thoroughly digitized, with our identities, locations, actions, purchases, associations, movements, and histories stored as so many bits and bytes, we have to ask \u2013 who is collecting all of this \u2013 what are they doing with it \u2013 with whom are they sharing it?<\/p>\n<p>For its part,\u00a0<a title=\"Google\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Google<\/a> (<a title=\"NASDAQ : GOOG\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/symbols\/NASDAQ-GOOG\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GOOG<\/a>) has released a video highlighting the ways it uses some of that personal data it collects about you to make your life easier and then explains that you can opt-out of some of Google&#8217;s data collection policies.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pATMX5la5IE\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Microsoft\" href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-1951 size-full\" style=\"border: 0px none; margin-left: 2px; margin-right: 2px;\" title=\"Microsoft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rbach.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/microsoft.jpg?resize=125%2C65&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Nicrosoft logo\" width=\"125\" height=\"65\" \/><\/a><a title=\"Microsoft\" href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Microsoft<\/a> (<a title=\"NASDAQ | MSFT\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/symbols\/NASDAQ-MSFT\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MSFT<\/a>) has released the results of a <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20100507124338\/http:\/\/blogs.technet.com:80\/privacyimperative\/archive\/2010\/01\/27\/microsoft-releases-a-study-on-data-privacy-day.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">study on data privacy<\/a>.\u00a0 According to the Microsoft survey, the results illustrate how we, as a society, are still grappling with the intersection of privacy and online life. For example, 63 percent of consumers surveyed are concerned that online reputation might affect their personal and\/or professional life, yet, less than half even consider their reputations when they post online content.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Fewer than 15%\u00a0 of consumers in any of the countries surveyed believe that information found online would have an impact on their getting a job.\u00a0 The Microsoft study found 70% of surveyed HR professionals in the U.S. have rejected a candidate based on online reputation information. Reputation can also have a positive effect as in the United States, 86% of HR professionals stated that a positive online reputation influences the candidate\u2019s application to some extent; almost half stated that it does so to a great extent.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Electronic Frontier Foundation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eff.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-1954 size-full\" style=\"border: 0pt none; margin: 2px;\" title=\"Electronic Frontier Foundation\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rbach.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/eff_logo-e1561948853955.jpg?resize=111%2C76&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Electronic Frontier Foundation\" width=\"111\" height=\"76\" \/><\/a>For its part, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.eff.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">EFF<\/a>) has published, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eff.org\/deeplinks\/2010\/01\/updated-and-corrected-e-book-buyers-guide-privacy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The E-Book Buyer&#8217;s Guide to Privacy <\/a>&#8221; which outlines six elements of Ebook readers&#8217; privacy policies:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/books.google.com\/books\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Google Books,<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Kindle-Wireless-Reading-Display-Generation\/dp\/B0015TG12Q\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Amazon Kindle<\/a>,<\/li>\n<li>B&amp;N Nook,<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20100413084549\/http:\/\/www.sonystyle.com:80\/webapp\/wcs\/stores\/servlet\/CategoryDisplay?catalogId=10551&amp;storeId=10151&amp;categoryId=8198552921644523779&amp;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sony Reader<\/a>,<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fbreader.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FBReader<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The EFF surveyed the policies and found that Google Books and Amazon Kindle will monitor what you&#8217;re reading.
