Choose an app, website, or other online service you are familiar with to research their privacy policy. The easiest way to find a data policy, if it exists, is to search for the company name followed by the terms "data policy" or "privacy policy."

What Is Their Data Policy?
Respond to the questions below. Even if you can’t find information, you should record where you looked and the fact that you can’t find it. If there isn’t a policy or it’s hard to find, that can be just as interesting as seeing the policy itself. What kinds of data are being collected?

a. How many different kinds of data?
b. What service or feature is enabled by the data they are collecting? Why are they collecting it in the first place?
c. Who else is given access to that data? How are they using it?
d. Can you get access to your own data? Can you modify what is collected or used, or delete your data if you wish?
e. Bottom Line: on a scale of 1-4, rate how comfortable you are with this company’s data policy? Give your rating (no going halfway -no 2.5 or 1.5 -make a choice!) and then justify your choice.

1 - very uncomfortable
2 - uncomfortable (but maybe fixable)
3 - comfortable (maybe minor concerns)
4 - very comfortable
