Abstract :
Privacy is one of consumers´ most important concerns about using the Internet for e-commerce and other purposes. With this in mind, a number of privacy-related technologies are emerging, including improved software that anonymizes user identities, tools that audit a company´s privacy policy adherence, and standards. Technology´s effect on privacy has caused concern since commercial computing emerged in the 1960s. However, the Internet has caused people to look at this issue again in a new way, and we have seen a lot more technologies that are invasive, as well as technologies that enhance privacy
