Blog Assignment 6: Privacy By Tajmina Aakhi

                         Blog Assignment 6: Privacy
 

 

The four social media where I belong are Facebook, Skype, Viber and Yahoo messenger.Facebook is making its confusing privacy set a little more clear. New Facebook users' posts will automatically be set to "Friends", meaning only friends can see your information. Facebook announced this news in a post in its Newsroom on Thursday. Facebook also have this  "Privacy Checkup" tool, which explains to people a little more about where their posts go. Skype is also good because Skype's privacy settings let you control who can contact you on Skype.We can easily change your privacy settings to prevent unknowns calls or spam messages. Conversation history is stored on Skype's cloud for 30 days; however, we can set our computer to save our chat history for longer, if we want. Or we can delete entire conversation history from device if we like to. From time to time, Skype revise this Policy. They reserve the right to update or modify this Policy, or any other of our policies or practices, at any time with or without notice. However, they do not use your Personal Information in a way that is materially different than the uses described in this Policy without giving you an opportunity to opt-out of such differing uses. We will post the revised Policy on the Site, so that users can always be aware of what information we collect, how the information is used and under what circumstances such information may be disclosed. Viber agree to review the Policy periodically so that you are aware of any modifications. Your continued use of the Site indicates your assent to any changes and signifies your agreement to the terms of our Policy. If you do not agree with these terms, you should not use the Site, the Viber App, or any other Service.This policy covers how Yahoo treats personal information that Yahoo collects and receives, including information related to your past use of Yahoo products and services. Personal information is information about you that is personally identifiable like your name, address, email address, or phone number, and that is not otherwise publicly available. The best out of these four is Facebook. The worst in my opinion is Viber. I feel secure using these services because I always try to put little information as possible on internet.
