It Wasn’t That Long Ago
Just one or two reminders if you please…
*****From The San Francisco Chronicle June 2006*****
“AT&T Rewrites Rules: Your data isn’t yours”
“AT&T has issued an updated privacy policy that takes effect Friday [June 23, 2006]. The changes are significant because they appear to give the telecom giant more latitude when it comes to sharing customers’ personal data with government officials. The new policy says that AT&T — not customers — owns customers’ confidential info and can use it “to protect its legitimate business interests, safeguard others, or respond to legal process.”
“AT&T is also believed to have participated in President Bush’s acknowledged domestic spying program, in which the NSA was given warrantless access to U.S. citizens’ phone calls.”
This quote also squeezed into this article…
“AT&T’s new and former privacy policies both state that ‘conducting business ethically and ensuring privacy is critical to maintaining the public’s trust and achieving success in a dynamic and competitive business climate.’
Both also state that ‘privacy responsibility’ extends ‘to the privacy of conversations and to the flow of information in data form.’ As such, both say that ‘the trust of our customers necessitates vigilant, responsible privacy protections.’
