Many people are unaware of how many popular websites use their data, and as such their online privacy suffers. Help me create a list of websites that contain private data that it’s users can control, or should be aware of!
After I’ve compiled a list of popular websites, I’ll create a list of links to websites that help you manage your privacy within each specific website, a brief bio that relates to the privacy concerns regarding that website, and will assign a basic privacy score.
I don’t plan to list EVERY website, just popular websites were privacy issues are a credible concern.
I want this to be a living document that will be constantly updated. Help me get started!
Websites to profile:
- Spokeo.com
Suggest some more sites for me to add!
Rdio?
You have Google, but i’d also specify each service when applicable. You can have a Gmail account without a Google account, for example.
Yahoo
Flickr (although Yahoo, i believe they have separate privacy options for the content you upload)
Myspace
MSN / Hotmail / Livemail
Github (might be good to see how and whom owns your code as well, this is as much a concern of privacy and data as Facebook photos or wall posts if not more)
Tumblr
…if i think of anymore ill let you know!
