to examine consumers’ awareness and perceptions about their privacy online.  Not surprisingly, the survey revealed that many consumers are not fully aware of the implications that surfing the web can have on their personal privacy.  This survey presents the opportunity to raise consumer awareness and provide the information and tools to help consumers’ protect their privacy online.

  • 12% believe that tracking by companies for commercial purposes does not happen at all
