Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

Very little attention has been paid to actually measuring the strength of privacy policies for individual companies, comparing them to other companies, and understanding how privacy policies have changed over time at a specific company. However, researchers have developed a measure of privacy policies by applying 10 privacy policy principles when reviewing policies. These principles are as follows:
• Can the privacy policy be easily found, reviewed, and understood by users?
• Does the privacy policy fully disclose how personal information will and will not be used by the organization? Is information about users ever shared or sold without users' explicit permission?
• Can users decide if they want to participate?
• Can users decide and actively indicate that they agree to be profiled, tracked, or targeted?
• Can users decide how and if their sensitive information is shared?
• Are users able to change any information that they input about themselves?
• Can users decide who can access their information?
• Are users notified promptly if their information is lost, stolen, or improperly accessed?
• Can users easily report concerns and get answers?
• Do users receive a copy of all disclosures of their information?
The dimensions are measured on a four-point scale from 0 to 4 (0 meaning the privacy policy fails to meet the criterion and 4 indicating the criterion was fully achieved).
