Writing Homework Help

Companies are required to provide consumers with details regarding the terms of service, which include end-user rights, as well as details on what the company can do with any data the collect from consumers. The vast majority of people never engage with these overly-long, hard-to-understand documents. But perhaps we should, so we can make more informed decisions about our data.

In this assignment, you will select a company/app you use, read its ToS and privacy policy documents, and critically evaluate the information they contain using the FTC’s five Fair Information Practice Principles (FIPPs): Transparency, Choice, Information Review and Correction, Information Protection, and Accountability (for a review: https://ethics.berkeley.edu/privacy/fipps; also note that there’s a link on that page to “FIPPs course content” that might be useful). Address areas where the site’s policies are strong, where they fall short, and make suggestions for how the company could improve its privacy practices. Finally, consider the ethical and legal ramifications of the policy as it currently stands.

Include name of company/app and URLs to relevant policies

Brief (one paragraph) overview of the organization/app being evaluated and its history (especially anything that relates to privacy and security of user information)

Analysis of how the site’s privacy policy meets (or falls short) for each of the FTC Fair Information Practice Principles

• Evaluate potential legal and ethical issues related to the company’s privacy policy.
