A website’s privacy policy tells you how the site collects your information and how it is used, shared and protected. When reading a privacy policy, there are questions you should think about:

– What information is the company collecting about me?
– Is the information necessary for the online activity I am engaging in?
– How is information collected about me?
– How does the site use personal information once it is collected?
– Do I have a choice about the way information about me is used or shared? How can I make that choice?
– Is there a place where I can ask questions about my privacy and the use of my information?
