Privacy Policies
Most companies that do business online post Privacy Policies explaining how they treat customers' personally identifying information. Generally, they address what information is collected by the Web site, how it is used and shared, and if are used.
Getting in the habit of reading online Privacy Policies won't completely eliminate your chances of falling victim to identity theft. Unfortunately, nothing can do that. But it will give you a greater understanding of what happens to your information once you hand it over. By choosing to do business with companies that protect your information and that provide straightforward descriptions of how they use your information, you can go a long way towards protecting your identity.
Typically you can find a Privacy Policy link at the bottom of a Web site's homepage or on their customer service page. If you can't find it there, check the site map.
