Many people use the Internet for personal motives (such as e-mail, ICQ, Skype or surfing) and for professional reasons (such as business e-mail or creating business plans) nowadays. The Internet has almost become a sufficient part of our life. And definitely, sites’ owners are aware of this fact. They try to do their best to improve the quality of web pages and web service. They use certain information and want to be sure this information possesses author’s rights. For this reason, they require all the visitors to have their own passwords. On the other hand, the users of websites want to be sure that their personal information won’t be transmitted among other people. Moreover, certain surveys showed that people are really concerned about how their personal information is going to be used.

Anyway, nowadays we observe the situation of web sites’ expansion, due to the popularity of the Internet, though the level of disclosure of personal information has considerably increased. Actually, most business web sites have published their “privacy policies” but unfortunately they didn’t really help. You may ask why? Well, when the owner of a web site creates his own policy these rules may be applied to all the rest sites. Here we do come across the variety of the languages this privacy policy could be translated into. So due to some semantic differences certain inaccuracy may take place and this may turn out to be a significant amount of money.

When talking about a privacy policy, remember that this is a disclosure type of document. That means that with the help of its points and rules the Internet users are to be protected and informed about any changes occurring. You have to remember that there is even a certain document regarding children. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act has its jurisdiction power when involving kids. Sometimes though there are cases when website’s privacy policies are sued due to inaccurate meaning or wrong points. To a certain extent, major companies, such as Microsoft, for instance, could be embarrassed by their privacy policy interpreted on other web sites.

Here we do observe the problems, caused by web sites themselves when trying to create a website’s privacy policy. Because in most cases website’s owners promise to keep any kind of personal information in secret. This is definitely lying. As naturally, there always do exist third parties who are able to see your personal data mostly due to the fact that there are many people who work on creating the website. Depending on the purpose you use a website for, it may be either the banks which are aware of your credit card payments or the site’s hosting company, or the person who deliver you the ordered purchase - surely one of the dangers of e-commerce. In this situation the information is no more confidential. In other words, if you want to have a professional service and get the ordered shipments be ready to disclose your personal information.
