Web Evaluation

• Opinion: Are these policies defined to protect you, the consumer, or

YOU, the business? Explain your answer.

•

Ampco’s Privacy/Security Policy is a standard policy that most websites state. They state

that they do collect certain information about you and your use of their website and then go into

detail as to what that information is. It is the typical information that they track: your

geographical location, length of visit, number of pages viewed; any information you provide to

them to make a purchase ect… They go on to say that their site does use Cookies. They use

the cookies to improve their website’s usability and for marketing purposes.

Their Security Policy explains that they do share your data, but not your personal data. The

data that they do share are things like what you looked at while you were on their site, your

location, and how long you were there. The data that they do not share are any of your personal

data, or financial data. Financially data is encrypted and stored on their server.

There was one statement in their Security policy that bothered me. They state that “you are

responsible for keeping your personal identity information confidential. We will not ask you for

information that is not needed to complete transaction on your behalf or that is needed to

communicate with you. This bothers me, because I believe that this is their legal out if any of

your personal information does get leaked. They do not want to assume responsibility for that

leakage.

I believe that these policies are designed to protect both the company and me personally as

a consumer. A business should want to protect their customers as much as they can. If they

have a security breach and their customer’s information is stolen, they run the risk of losing

valuable future business from those customers. It is in their best interest to protect them as

much as they can. But ultimately I believe that these protections are for their best interest as it

protects them from lawsuits, and also helps them better recognize how they can better serve

their customer with all the information they save on each of them.
