Re: [projectvrm] on privacy policies and ecosystems

[John Wunderlich < >]

As many others have said, privacy policies serve the same role as product warranties. They shield the vendor from risk. That will continue to be the case, and thinking otherwise is wishful thinking. Lawyers, litigation and regulation mean that companies have a fiduciary responsibility to manage their risks.

I think the question is not what kind of privacy policies we need to see, but rather, promoting the notion of privacy engineering so that the notion of private by default becomes built into the systems that organizations build and deploy.

Web design plays a role in how much we reveal online

Summary:

How many people read online privacy warnings? Few probably do. Long, detailed and technical privacy notices are the current answer to one of the greatest privacy issues of our time: websites collect information about us all the time and we frequently allow it without really knowing or understanding the conditions. Scientists have found that web design, and the information shown on the screen, does influence how and whether a user discloses personal data.

This is an ecosystem moment: what kind of privacy policies would we like to see, that are maximally relevant to VRM?
