US Tweak Net Privacy Guidlines
March 2009
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission issued new guidance for the self-regulated industry that urges Web sites to tell consumers that data is being collected during their searches and to allow them to opt out. This guidance recommends that mobile companies and Internet service providers also inform customers about data collection and allow users to decline. There are few U.S. laws about the collection and use of data from the Internet, with exceptions of instances where firms fail to live up to advertised promises to protect privacy, or fail to deliver an expected level of data protection.
