online privacy bill of rights
DESCRIPTION
The current state of social networking, sharing personal information, and online privacy. As it stands many websites use cookies and analytics to track user data, and then sell your personal data to advertisers to make a quick buck. At Sgrouples (sounds like scruples), we believe users should have better control of their personal information and who has access to it. We're also dedicated to educating social media users about online privacy best practices, and how to avoid sharing too much personal information that may compromise your identity or online reputation. At Sgrouples we've developed a revolutionary new way to manage your real contacts online and keep your private information safe. No tracking cookies, no search engine crawling, and improved control over who gets to see your content. On top of that we've built in free 4GB of cloud storage for photo + video sharing, and built-in live document editing to make group collaboration and work projects easy to manage. Oh, and we've integrated facebook and twitter streams so you don't have to leave all your old contacts behind. Join the Online Privacy Revolution and sign up for an account today!TRANSCRIPT
What privacy really means in the era of social networking and how it affects you.
Websites scrape your personal information 24/7...
They also monitor your online behavior to figure out who you are.
Why? To sell your information to advertising companies that target YOU.
It may be a comic...
but it's not a joke.
Is privacy really private?
Some companies are claiming better privacy controls to market
their services...
...but they still scrape your data to sell to advertising companies.
This is the current norm, and we need to let these companies know it is NOT OKAY!

So does that mean online privacy is dead?

At Sgrouples, we don't think so.
That's why we drafted the Privacy Bill of Rights.
Your personal information is private and it is yours;
it is explicitly not ours and not our business.
