Universities And Online Portals: Possible Privacy Infringement
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. Internet users can never be too careful when it comes to providing personal information while surfing upon the World Wide Web. However, the extent to which users know when and how they are inadvertently handing over personal data is often masked by myriad technological methods that the Web site visitor has no idea even exists; what ultimately transpires by the time the user leaves the site is how he or she has unwittingly given tracking and usage information that may – but oftentimes is not – protected from unauthorized distribution. Universities, in their quest to collect information to improve their sites and provide user-friendly applications, should realize the importance of this matter and take it upon themselves to create and post a comprehensive online privacy policy that outlines precisely why, how and when visitors' personal information is collected if they do not want to be accused of possible privacy infringement.
