About Privacy.


Privacy, in particular the privacy of personal information, is of growing concern to individuals. Organizations are increasingly looking to connect their systems with those of suppliers and business partners and to interact more directly with customers, so privacy is a corporate business concern. If users visiting a company’s web site do not trust the privacy practices of the owner, they are unlikely to make those connections and their business will be lost.
