Secure a Wireless Network

WIRELES Most online retailers provide some type of privacy statement. Many statements are long, and appear in small print, and many appear to be similar in their wording and particulars. However, many companies, including eBay, also provide short versions of their statements which they encourage consumers to read. Privacy statements are as much a marketing tool as they are a legal document, and many privacy statements contain language suggesting that consumers must give permission for their data to be revealed to third parties, or the statements might contain instructions for customers to "opt out" of having their data revealed to third parties. Problems arise, however, when the summary privacy statement--which is typically easily found on a company's Web site--does not match the detailed privacy policy of the company.
