Updated Privacy Notices?

[LaffingBear]

How many updated privacy notices have you gotten in the past 10 days?

 

Are you reading them all? Thoroughly?

 

Are they easy to read, simple and straightforward? Even approach brief?

 

Are they clarifying anything? Do you feel you have a better understanding of your privacy, how your data/information is used?

 

Feels like a corporate exercise in BS to me. Important issue, but some legal actuarials somewhere must know that only a tiny fraction of users read those things, and even fewer understand them, before clicking away their consent.

That is exactly why every website is requiring that you re-accept their privacy policy.

Speaking from the viewpoint of someone who works for an online financial institution, we wish consumers would read, understand, and ask questions about our privacy, data usage, and solicitation policies. Doing so would save everyone time and frustration. To summarize...

 

We know you don't but we wish you did.

You are right, @azdr0710, the new European law is to blame.

I have been reading them, but I don't find them very enlightening.
