Do you know your privacy rights? During Choose Privacy Week (and everyday!) we'd like to encourage you to get educated about your right to privacy. In this Internet Age, it is easy to share information over the web, but not everyone thinks about the implications of this. It is also easy to overlook the fact that our every move can be tracked. This guide will provide you with some resources to learn more about privacy issues in today's day and age.
