What do you think about this privacy proposal by the FTC? If this becomes law, Quantnet and every website have to make sure every piece of software we use is compliant. Quantnet does not make use of our members' data, preferences or make them available to third party.

And for your information, if you use any Google services (Gmail, Docs, etc), you can see/manage what info they have on you from the Dashboard

WASHINGTON — The Federal Trade Commission advocated a plan on Wednesday that lets Internet consumers choose whether they want information about their browsing habits to be collected, the so-called “Do Not Track” option.

The F.T.C.’s framework for commercial use of consumer data would make consumer privacy the default position and would let Web users decide whether Internet sites and advertisers can build profiles of their browsing and buying habits as well as collect other personal information.
