In relation to the above I glad I live in the UK. Here we have the data
protection act that states those that collecting gperosnal information
srequires a statment of what you collect and why, in addition to providing a
right to see what your information records. There is a duty to protect
personal information too. (Anyone wanting to know my address, telephone
numebrs, date of birth, etc will find this makes it harder for them.)
The impact of this is that if you say you record peoples names and addresses
to send them magazines it is illegal to sell or use it for other purposes.
Sending the data to *anyone* in justistictions without similar laws is illegal
(voluntary codes of practice are not an acceptable alternative). Similar lwas
exist everywhere in th EU.
Of course using lynx helps protect your provacy because one pixel bugs and
images that uses cookies and refer do not work against lynx users.
