Web sites can collect a lot of information about your visit -- what computer you use, what type of hardware and software you have, what Web sites you have visited. Web sites that ask you to provide even a small amount of personal information can tie the data you provide to your browsing habits.

So, how to protect your privacy online??

Do not reveal personal information inadvertently.

idea posted by Ruchi Chawla Associate/Sr. Associate -(Technical), Cisco Systems

You may be "shedding" personal details, including e-mail addresses and other contact information, without even knowing it unless you properly configure your Web browser. In your browser's "Setup", "Options" or "Preferences" menus, you may wish to use a pseudonym instead of your real name, and not enter an e-mail address, nor provide other personally identifiable information that you don't wish to share.

When visiting a site you trust you can choose to give them your info, in forms on their site; there is no need for your browser to potentially make this information available to all comers. Also be on the lookout for system-wide "Internet defaults" programs on your computer.

Add your argument:

Make sure that online forms are secure

idea posted by Pratik Hazra Project Lead, Motorola

Online forms may be digitally transported in ways that leave them vulnerable to undesired access. Alternatively, online forms may be encrypted so that only the intended recipients can readily translate the information.

Ensuring that your information is stored and transferred in secure ways is one of the keys to protecting your privacy.

Add your argument:

Keep a "clean" e-mail address.

idea posted by Ankitha Associate/Sr. Associate -(Technical), Eventures

When mailing to unknown parties; posting to newsgroups, mailing lists, chat rooms and other public spaces on the Net; or publishing a Web page that mentions your e-mail address, it is best to do this from a "side" account, some pseudonymous or simply alternate address, and to use your main or preferred address only on small, members-only lists and with known, trusted individuals.

Addresses that are posted (even as part of message headers) in public spaces can be easily discovered by spammers (online junk mailers) and added to their list of targets. If your public "throw away" address gets spammed enough to become annoying, you can simply kill it off, and start a new one.

use proxy while surfing net

idea posted by Amit Software Developer, Hewitt Associates

you can user any proxy software that uses proxy server for e.g., ultrasurf etc and remain anonymous to the outside world.. they can get your information if they do only the proxy server's information they'll have to collect nothing about you...

Be anonymous .... if you don't let other know about your self.

Cheers !!!
