| Résumé : |
You leave an electronic trail every time you use a credit card, rent a DVD, mail in a rebate form, go to the doctor, open a bank account, or surf the Internet at home and at work. News stories about identity theft, anti-terrorist legislation, cyber-stalking, marketing databases, and employer surveillance practices are evidence that your privacy is violated more and more every day. Using examples from real-life situations, *Prying Eyes *reveals how, often without your knowledge, people use your personal information to sell to you, snoop on you, and steal from you. Eric Gertler reveals how to minimize your exposure in every facet of lifeÔÇôat home, at the office, on vacation, at the store, at the doctorÔÇÖs office, online, and on your cell phone. Beyond reporting and speculation, *Prying Eyes* will empower you to take charge of your personal information before someone else does. You will learn: ┬ÀHow information about your bank account, credit, and purchases is tracked, stored, and accessedÔÇôand how to limit your exposure. ┬ÀHow to protect yourself from identity theftÔÇôand how to recover if youÔÇÖve been a victim. ┬ÀRisks to your privacy at workÔÇôwhy it is important to separate your personal life from your business life. ┬ÀThreats to your medical filesÔÇôwho has access to them how theyÔÇÖre commonly mishandled, and how to prevent information from getting into the wrong hands. ** |
