Privacy is a huge issue online as well as with any company we choose to have contact with. A lot of companies have my personal information and could leek it out at any time without my knowledge. I normally feel safe giving out this info, however it has been brought to my attention that it could possibly be dangerous. I have given out my social security number to USF, my medical info, etc. Other organizations that have access are department stores online for shopping, magazine subscriptions, airlines, and travel companies. I usually never give any thought when I am giving that particular information. I just automatically feel safe to do so just because I have done it so often.
By giving my information to organizations or businesses, I tend to get a lot of junk mail or emails regarding products I have bought before or that I am interested in. It is not all bad though, sometimes I will get really good deals, sales, or important messages re guarding that product.
A company that I feel comfortable sharing my information with is most importantly USF because I feel that it is safe for a student. They require a lot of personal information and I feel that they will keep your information private. An organization that I do not feel will keep my information private is any online chat rooms or any website that requires personal information where I am not familiar with the site. It is difficult to continue on a website if it requires personal data and usually I will not continue on the website if it does.
