<h2>How Do Web Sites Use My Personal Information?</h2> <h2>Controlling Your Privacy</h2>
<p>If you provide personal information such as your name, phone number, or email address to a web site, it is free to store that information in its database and use it later.

A web site could sell the information it has gathered to other companies. <p>If you provide personal information such as your name, phone number, or email address to a web site, it is free to store that information and use it later. A web site might use your information to improve its service to you or target advertising to your interests. Or it could sell your information to other companies.
<p>One way to find out how a web site uses the information it gathers is to check its <a href="privacy_help.html#privacy_unauth">privacy policy</a>. <p>Before providing personal information on an online form, you must decide whether or not you trust the web site&mdash;just as you judge whether or not you trust a catalog company before you provide your credit card number on the company's order form.
<p>Before providing personal information on an online form, you must decide whether or not you trust the company&mdash;just as you judge whether or not you trust a catalog company before you provide your credit card number on the company's order form. <p>One way to evaluate a web site's trustworthiness is to examine its published privacy policy. Many web sites publish such policies according to the Platform for Privacy Preferences (P3P) standard.
<p>A web site's privacy policy describes what kind of information the site collects, to whom it gives that information, and how it uses the information. Web sites publish privacy policies in both human-readable form and as an XML file that can be interpreted by the browser according to your <a href="#privacy_levels_window">Privacy Settings</a>.
<p>To check a web site's privacy policy, browse to the site and follow these steps:
<ul>
<li>Open the View menu and choose Page info.
<li>Click the Privacy tab.
<li>Click these buttons to see the corresponding information:</li>
<ul>
<li><b>Policy:</b> Click this button to view the site's published privacy policy on the web.
<li><b>Summary:</b> Click this button to view a summary of the site's built-in XML policy file, which defines the site's policies in detail.
<li><b>Options:</b> Click this button to view a web page provided by the site where you can choose to withhold or grant your consent to certain kinds of information gathering.
</ul>
