Chapter 9. Privacy-Protecting Techniques

In the last chapter, we saw that there are many ways to collect personal information on the Internet. In this chapter, we'll look at some proven techniques to protect your privacy when you use the Internet. Most of these techniques are simple, common-sense rules that you can put into effect immediately choosing a good service provider, using good passwords, cleaning up after yourself online, avoiding spam and junk email, and protecting yourself from identity theft. Then, in Chapter 10, we'll see how to extend these techniques using a variety of free and commercial programs and services. Finally, if you are interested in understanding the legal framework regarding personal information, see Chapter 24.
