You might need to fill a prescription and your prescription history may be shared or sold.
You might use a daily coupon app to get a deal at a nearby restaurant and your location information may be shared or sold.
You might visit a news site where you notice an ad for your favorite brand of shoes. It's an online sale, this weekend only, so you buy a pair. And the articles you read and your shoe preferences may be shared or sold.
You might login to a social network and see that your friends are filling out an "All About Me" quiz. You get the quiz app and share your answers, and your quiz responses and profile information may be shared or sold.
A regular day. You've taken care of business, used some free services, gotten some good deals and revealed all kinds of information about yourself.
So at the end of the day, the question is, Who has your information and where is it going next?

It is the only federal agency with both consumer protection and competition jurisdiction in broad sectors of the economy. The FTC pursues vigorous and effective law enforcement; advances consumers' interests by sharing its expertise with federal and state legislatures and U.S. and international government agencies; develops policy and research tools through hearings, workshops, and conferences; and creates practical and plain-language educational programs for consumers and businesses in a global marketplace with constantly changing technologies.

Before watching this video, I was quite aware that the sharing/selling of my information is taking place already. It doesn't make me feel too uneasy, because I am not taking part in any illegal activities or something that I would want to hide, but I do believe that it is a violation of my privacy. What bothers me most is that someone is taking my information and selling it to others, but I do not gain from this act. If my information were to be sold then I should profit from it.
To all the people who say "I have nothing to hide. Who cares?": I care. It doesn't matter if all I do is go to church, work at a homeless shelter, help little old nuns across the street, and buy caffeine free soda to hand out to Mormon missionaries as they pedal by in the summer time. No stranger needs to know that. At all. It is a very big deal.

Even without doing all of those things your information is collected and sold but to be honest it's not information that's not already out there
HIPAA restricts the sharing of medical history and prescription information unless you personally disclose it. That cannot be shared and sold with any specific information whatsoever; otherwise, it's illegal.
Everything else can get specific, though, because of the terms of use and other restrictive policies. Remember not to give information.
as long as i don't make enemies or have too much wealth, how will it matter if my information is out there? moral living is the best protection. LESS STRESS
