My website of choice in this case will be eBay (https://www.ebay.com/). In essence, eBay is “a ‘virtual marketplace’ allowing eMerchants, located anywhere in the world, who have registered with eBay to trade within this ‘virtual world’” (Bardopoulos, 2015, p. 51). Some of the site’s product categories include, but they are not limited to, health and beauty products, toys and videogames, sporting goods, computers and consumer electronics, clothing, cell phones, books, etc. The site also offers for sale motorcycle and automotive accessories and parts.
The website has in place a comprehensive privacy policy that outlines the various ways through which the website may not only gather, but also make use of and disclose customer data. The contents of the privacy statement include; scope and content, global privacy standards, collection, use and retention, choice, access, disclosure, security, important information, and questions or complaints (eBay, 2018). On the basis of my intensive review of the website’s privacy policy, I submit that the said policy is not only clear, but also reasonable and relevant to the kind of business the website carries out.
Some of the statement’s most reasonable parts are: use and retention,...
With regard to use and retention, the website observes that the personal information it collects is used for contact purposes (i.e. in those instances whereby the company may want to contact a user regarding their account), the enhancement of the services it offers, personalization of experiences (i.e. by way of recommending to an individual items they may be interested in), better service provision and implementation, and mitigation of illegal or fraudulent undertakings. The website also points out that some personal information may still be retained for some time even after closure of account. This is done so as to ensure that its business model is not used to commit fraud or any other illegal activity. When it comes to disclosure, the company points out that it does not under any circumstances disclose the personal information of a user “to third parties for their marketing and advertising purposes without (a user’s) explicit consent” (eBay, 2017). This is necessary so as to ensure that a user is not inundated by spam emails and unsolicited calls from telemarketers. On the security front, the website points out that it takes deliberate steps to protect the information of a user via the utilization of “technical and administrative security…
Integrity: Privacy Protection in e-Commerce Websites Privacy Protection in e-Commerce Websites Back in the 90s, websites were more or less digital brochures that did little more than serve their registered users with monthly electronic newsletters. Today, however, websites are powerful and complex information platforms that not only store and process data, but also allow for the sharing of information across a wide range of online platforms. We share personal data on
Layne', in December 1994, the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner received a compliant that the Vancouver Police Department had taken a decision to block out the faces of those person who were being interviewed by the police in the program, "To Serve and to Protect."

Consequently, the large-scale implant of chips would certainly have damaging effects on people. One of the latest reports of people having their privacy broken is when residents from Milton Keynes, UK, have informed police officers that a Google representative started taking picture of their houses. The person had been driving a Google Street View car which is part of a program meant to offer Google operators 360 degrees images of
However, before giving the medicine, anesthesiologist carefully examines the condition of the pregnant woman to whom anesthesia is to be given. Epidural anesthesia during labor and normal delivery does not cause unconsciousness; thus, patients do not lose their psychological alertness (Halpern and Douglas 2008). Dissertation Part According to (Orebaugh 2011), epidural anesthesia is commonly administered by injecting the medicine in the lumbar region of the back, specifically in the epidural region.
Risk Management and Insurance What is Risk Management and why is it important in Business Today? One must first define for oneself the meaning of risk, not only relative to his own life but to his business and financial future. In defining the types of risk, pure or speculative, one will then need to determine the level of risk and uncertainty one is willing to endure to achieve ones ultimate goal.
As will be discussed, this has serious implications for security issues on both a personal, organizational and corporate level. A central concern is that, as the number of users increase online so does the potential threat of invasion of privacy in many insidious forms. This can lead to serious ethical infringements of privacy, such as fraud and identity theft. As Miyazaki, and Fernandez ( 2001) emphasize; This rapid growth (of the
