It's really quite simple. Every time we limit our own freedoms for the sake of "security," the terrorists win. Every time our behavior contradicts who we say we are and what we claim we believe, the terrorists win. The terrorists know that they don't have to conquer us. All they have to do is scare us into conquering ourselves--but Americans don't scare easily. We know protecting our freedoms is our strength. Karen - NE
What Our Top Spy Doesn’t Get: Security And Privacy Aren’t Opposites
9/11 was a terrible tragedy. No one will ever say it wasn't. But that doesn't mean that our rights and freedoms and belief in freedom and privacy should be abandoned. It is really what should be propelling us forward rather than hiding and fearing everyone who doesn't look like us or believe what we believe. Fear mongering has taken center stage and we MUST move beyond that to prove to the world that freedom and principles that we live under can and will survive! Tom - NY
Just as you do when browsing the web from a computer, look at something before you download it. Look at the number of downloads and the overall reviews. Think about what permissions the app wants and whether you're comfortable with the level of access it requires. Click the name of the developer, if you still aren't sure, and see what else they've created. And unless you really know what you're doing, don't download apps from random websites or other unestablished third-party sources. Such apps will still be scanned by Google's on-device security system before they're installed, but your odds of encountering something shady are significantly greater out in the wild than within the Play Store.
As part of your security efforts, make sure customers know what measures you take to protect their information. However, presenting it to customers is a bit tricky. Research shows customers are very unlikely to read long contracts. For example, if a privacy policy is lumped in with the terms of service contract, less than 1 in 1,000 people will read it, according to research conducted by the NYU School of Law. Instead, companies should create a page for it on their website that highlights the key points.
