Part 4/9:
Privacy policies, which detail how companies manage user data, are often dense and neglected by users. Many bypass these documents simply due to their complexity. As a solution, viewers are encouraged to search for specific terms within the privacy policy, such as "sell" or "retention", to gauge a company’s data-sharing practices before they proceed.
While some companies, like Incog, claim not to sell personal information, others, such as Teemu, were found to have policies that permit selling user data. This disparity mandates the need for consumers to dissect privacy policies carefully to safeguard their personal information.
