There's a big difference between privacy and secrecy,

Savers like spenders, worriers like avoiders and planners marry dreamers.

At one point I thought changing my name might help with privacy, but that was before the Internet.

I believe in a zone of privacy.

Some of the companies did it tremendously well - they put very strong privacy policies into place. They never share your data, never do anything you don't tell them to do and allow people to opt in.

On its face it seems like an outrageous invasion of people's privacy.
