Amazon Search Bar Will Track Your Browsing
Limit writes "There has been a lot of discussion regarding GMail and Google's privacy policies. However, with the recent debut of Amazon's A9.com, I havn't seen any mention to the information they intend to collect. I saw this article today, "The history server stores -- on our servers -- your history of interaction with us for the purpose of bringing that back to you in a very convenient way ... If you install the toolbar, then all your Web browsing, as well as all your searching, is stored as well." Where is all the media hype about this privacy issue?"
What do you expect, "outrage"? Are you an activist in search of an issue? What exactly bothers you that Amazon would like to track where you go and then market things to you? Don't like it? Don't use it. What's next? Amazon has law passed to PLACE CHIP IN YOUR HEAD! Please! Get a life.
