At this point the statement and other gestures that a company "value's your privacy" is just a default poster someone puts up, while they do other things.

We value your privacy at $0.0003 per click!

I'm working on a side project and the setup is basically that you get to see all the data I have on you. Granted this is a tiny project that is largely just for me, but as a policy that seems like that is the most clear cut way to go.

The big data players have tools for this. For example:

https://datacloudoptout.oracle.com/registry/

That's interesting, I wonder how that came about.

[soared]

Yeah kind of cool. I believe tools like that came from either mass opt-out tools by the Network Advertising Initiative or the Digital Advertising Alliance.

Those tools are worthless, though. I wonder if Oracle's is any better.

But could I both delete the data you have and tell you not to collect more?

Transparency is great, but all by itself it means little.

[duxup]

Yeah I don't see why not.

Generally just showing all the data is there to inform, and then the user can not participate or say as you ask delete.

I was thinking I'd put a delay on the actual deleting of data to prevent something malicious.

Granted this is all just a personal side project primarily for my personal use and education ;)
