- The amount of data and information about individuals is stored anywhere in the internet increase everyday. Photos, financial records, employment history, personal details, and purchase are just a few types of data and information available to others for free or for a fee.Any type of data and information placed on the internet is almost index and often copied by a vast number of search engines such as yahoo, google and bing. Older data stored on paper is scanned, digitized, indexed and stored in database available on internet.
- Marketing companies for example, gather and sell information about consumer habits and detailed what customers want. Cell phone records can track not only a person's calls but also from where the call was made and other activities performed using the cell phone.
- Many people find, it is almost impossible to throw away all details about themselves from any of these sources. Even, a tiny cases or wrong activities could damage someone image and reputation. Peoples already know that, once the information and data stored in the internetm, nobody can expect privacy due to pervasive and permanent nature of data and information stored on the internet.
- In my opinion, please not to share personal information online and to be wisely when engage in any online transactions .
