Maintaining Your Privacy - Online and Off
You may be following the news on the proposal for a “Do Not Track” list to protect Internet users from targeted online advertising. The Do Not Track list, advocated by consumer groups including the
Electronic Privacy Information Center
, would be similar to the
National Do Not Call Registry
that protects consumers from unwanted phone solicitors.
While the
FTC
researches the options, there are a number of resources currently available for protecting your privacy. Check out this
FCIC Consumer Focus
article on online safety and security, as well as our
Privacy Resources
page, which links to federal agencies and nongovernmental organizations that can help protect you and your family’s personal information and privacy rights.
