Data Privacy

Data privacy is necessary to keep your data safe. A big part of this is for the user to take responsibility themselves, by adding things such as a password. This is especially important for social networking sites, as they contain lots of personal information that users do not want others to be able to access. Using a password will keep people out, but it doesn't matter if you leave your user logged in. This is why you should not click on the "Remember Me" that many websites have available.

It is important to attempt to keep your data private, as you would not want to give away information such as you banking details! This is why banks use tools such as a a physical confirmation of identity such as a netguard card, as this means if someone else gains access to your online password, they will still not be able to access your account as you will have the grid with which to enter the correct numbers.

I never tick "Remember me" when logging in to anything, as I would not like anyone else to gain access to my accounts, such as Facebook.
