From the moment you're born, you enter the data stream-from birth
certificates to medical records to what you bought on Amazon last
week. As your dossier grows, so do the threats, from identity
thieves to government snoops to companies who want to sell you
something. "Computer Privacy Annoyances" shows you how to regain
control of your life. You'll learn how to keep private information
private, stop nosy bosses, get off that incredibly annoying mailing
list, and more. Unless you know what data is available about you
and how to protect it, you're a sitting duck. "Computer Privacy
Annoyances" is your guide to a safer, saner, and more private life.
Written by privacy pro Dan Tynan, and based on interviews with
privacy experts from all over the globe, "Computer Privacy
Annoyances" serves up real-world advice in bite-sized portions that
will help you stop the snoops in their tracks. The book even
addresses non-computing threats, from telemarketer-cum-stalkers,
thieves at your mailbox, nosy folks in your HR department, cell
phone eavesdroppers, and more.
The key areas covered include:
Privacy at Home
Privacy on the Net
Privacy at Work
Privacy in Public
Privacy and Uncle Sam
Privacy in the Future
