Privacy Resources

Here are some links for further information:

• Orrin Hatch, of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, has published a pretty good privacy manual that explains the issues.
• I like to use a proxy server called Internet JunkBuster to help control the use of cookies and other privacy issues.
• The Privacy Foundation exists to publicize threats to personal privacy.
• Steve Gibson (who wrote the SpinRite utility) offers Shields UP, which tests your vulnerability from the web. He also offers OptOut, a free utility to let you know when one of your programs is surreptitiously spying on you.
• Privacy.net can analyze what information is readily available from your computer.
• The Privacy Forum provides some websites and news reports of interest.
• Computer Privacy Digest provides email discussions of privacy issues.
• I find the Computer Risks Digest extremely interesting. It contains discussions on all types of risks in computer systems, including privacy.
