Re: [projectvrm] Perhaps privacy is the wrong word?

[Kevin Cox < >]

Here is how it might work on our website.

At the moment on our website we have our privacy policy etc. and say we are doing our best to protect people's privacy.

We will still have the privacy policy but in our promotions we emphasise Freedom from surveillance.

We only collect information from you we need to conduct business and you have full access to all the information held by us about you and  this is never released to anyone without your express permission or unless we are required by law to release the information.

We enlist your help to know when someone comes to the website and says it is you it really is you.

We do not allow any third party cookies to be active - that is if you come to our website and you have third party cookies or any form of spyware we can detect we remove them and record what we have done for you to examine.

We will not knowingly release any information to any government or government agency without them providing us with legal authority.

any others?

Kevin
