As more people learn about the massive attempts to gather personal
information via the net, there is a growing concern about privacy. I have
a friend who ordered a report on himself, and he was *very* upset to learn
how much personal info was available for sale to others (and this was the
low-cost, minimal report :-).
Many programs have been caught sending back personal and private
information to the company database. TS.com is in a perfect position to
do this as well.
It might be wise to establish the level of concern before the product is
released, and to try and set limits on what OR intends to do. This is
particularly important because they might design it in a way that requires
this data to work correctly (personal info is sent along with a required
data field). This will negate the possibility of using a blocker to
protect your info.
I would like to go on record as *strongly* opposing *any* transfer of info
back to Omega, other than what is absolutely required to operate the
program.
Is anyone else concerned about this?
I'd like to try to get a very clear privacy statement from Omega before
hand. (Not one of those means-nothing ones that have become so prevalent
on the net).
Without this, I'd have serious reservations about using TS.com.
Any other (serious :-) suggestions as to what to do?
