We even look at proper conduct in a chatroom. [Episode #1817, First broadcast: of 1/9/2001] Electronic Frontier Foundation EFF is a non-profit, non-partisan organization working in the public interest to protect fundamental civil liberties, including privacy and freedom of expression in the arena of computers and the Internet. EFF was founded in 1990, and is based in San Francisco, California, with a satellite office in Washington, DC. Debra Pierce goes through the process of controlling cookies on your web browser. She explains how to find out who's trying to track you and your viewing habits. Debra also explains the importance of the privacy policy on a web site and what does having this information online can really mean to you. TRUSTe TRUSTe was launched to provide a mechanism by which Web sites could alleviate consumer concerns about privacy online. The core of this initiative was the TRUSTe Privacy Seal, a visual symbol that could be displayed by Web sites that met the program’s requirements for data gathering and dissemination practices, and agreed to participate in its dispute resolution process. TRUSTe’s goal was to establish a seal that would send a clear signal to consumers that they could expect companies to adhere to certain requirements about the way Web sites handled data, and that an independent, third-party would hear and respond to their complaints and resolve their disputes. The backbone of the TRUSTe program is the contract that is signed between TRUSTe and the Web site. This contract gives TRUSTe the ability to address users’ privacy concerns regardless of their citizenship or the location of the TRUSTe licensee. Privada Privada provides, through disassociation and compartmentalization, a unique privacy solution that allows each individual to decide how much

[Episode #1837, First broadcast: 5/29/2001] Electronic Frontier Foundation EFF is a non-profit, non-partisan organization working in the public interest to protect fundamental civil liberties, including privacy and freedom of expression in the arena of computers and the Internet. EFF was founded in 1990, and is based in San Francisco, California, with a satellite office in Washington, DC. Debra Pierce goes through the process of controlling cookies on your web browser. She explains how to find out who's trying to track you and your viewing habits. Debra also explains the importance of the privacy policy on a web site and what does having this information online can really mean to you. TRUSTe TRUSTe was launched to provide a mechanism by which Web sites could alleviate consumer concerns about privacy online. The core of this initiative was the TRUSTe Privacy Seal, a visual symbol that could be displayed by Web sites that met the program’s requirements for data gathering and dissemination practices, and agreed to participate in its dispute resolution process. TRUSTe’s goal was to establish a seal that would send a clear signal to consumers that they could expect companies to adhere to certain requirements about the way Web sites handled data, and that an independent, third-party would hear and respond to their complaints and resolve their disputes. The backbone of the TRUSTe program is the contract that is signed between TRUSTe and the Web site. This contract gives TRUSTe the ability to address users’ privacy concerns regardless of their citizenship or the location of the TRUSTe licensee. Privada Privada provides, through disassociation and compartmentalization, a unique privacy solution that allows each individual to decide how much pe
