Your Online Privacy Scorecard Health Information
Websites How your 'health interests' are
collected, used and sold! ...and what you can do
about it.
Sinopsis
Your privacy and being online are fundamentally
out of balance.When you use smart phones,
tablets, computers, TVs, and smart speakers you
are under technology surveillance. Vendors all
over the world collect personal information about
you and your behavior without your explicit
consent.The context for collection gets lost.
Personal information is absorbed into reputation
profiles, bought and sold by data
brokers 8211which you have no control
over.Decisions are made automatically that impact
not just the ads you see, but offers and prices
for goods and services, eligibility for loans,
approval for insurance, and selection for
employment.You have the right to be left alone
and control how you present yourself to the
world.Your Online Privacy Scorecard Health
Information Websites is the first comprehensive
evaluation of how well health information
websites meet their business obligations to
protect personal information.The scorecard
explains how personal information including
health interests collected during website visits
searching for health information is used to
build extensive reputation profiles by a
worldwide network of data brokers and
advertising technology vendors. Some health
information websites invite more than 150 third
parties located all over the world including
Russia to collect and use detailed information
about each website visit.Nine of the top10 most
visited health information websites do not
adequately protect the privacy of personal
information.
