    Does WTFDetroit have a privacy policy?

    Major Internet companies say that they inform their customers about privacy issues through specially written policies. What they don’t say is that more often than not consumers would need college undergraduate educations or higher to easily wade through the verbiage.

    When the House sent letters to 31 major Internet-related companies asking them about their privacy practices, included was a question of whether the businesses tell clients what they are doing. The common answer was, “Certainly, we proudly post our privacy policy.” I wondered about how user friendly those policies might be, so ran many through online readability software. The result: consumers need a whole lot of education to be able to casually read through what they find.
