Information brokers, ad networks and people-search sites make money selling your data to anyone and everyone. Even identity thieves.
 * "Your profile is being sold**
 * Your data is your identity**

dentity theft is one of the country’s fastest growing crimes. And data tracking, collecting and selling is only making it easier.
 * You’re being tracked 24/7**

Activities like buying groceries or magazine subscriptions online, or even browsing the Web, expose your personal information.
 * Your browser is betraying you**

Websites can identify your browser, link it to your real name and your email, and even figure out your social security number."

=Your personal safety on the Internet= We at UsingEnglish.com would like to say a couple of things about your personal safety whilst using the internet, email, chat etc. We do not want to scare you, but it is important that everyone here understands the security issues. Firstly, we advise you not to use your email address as a username or give it out in a forum post. It may be used to send you spam emails which can be very irritating. If you want people to be able to email you, they can do so from your user profile. Secondly, and much, much more importantly, never give contact information to people who you do not know on the internet or in emails or chat.

Tips for Your Safety:
Here are some basic personal safety tips you should consider when on the Internet:
 * Don't give out personal information such as your home address or telephone number to people you meet on the net;
 * Think seriously before agreeing to meet anyone in person whom you've met on the net:
 * Can you verify, through a third party whom you know and trust, the true identity of this person?
 * Is there a way to verify the information provided by this person?

The first step in reducing risks online is talking. Talking to your children about what they should and should not do when they are online. Find out the activities they are currently doing online and talk about them. Children love to show off their talents, and when you are interested in what they are doing online, nine times out of ten they will be more than happy to show you what they know. Let them teach you some of the different chat programs they use, what sites they visit and music download software they use. The next step is to let them know the rules in the house to online use. An Internet use contract can be downloaded and printed; you and your children can read it and sign it so there are no misunderstandings of appropriate use in your home. A list of rules can be found under the documents section of this website or click here for rules to post by your home computer. I will now cover the rules of online safety so you have a good understanding of how to keep your children safe in a wired world.

1. Make sure your child does not spend all of his/her time on the computer. People, not computers, should be their best friends and companions.

2. Keep the computer in an area where it can be monitored, like the family room, kitchen or living room, not in your child’s bedroom.

3. Learn enough about computers so you can enjoy them together with your kids.

4. Teach them never to meet an online friend offline unless you are with them.

5. Watch your children when they’re online and see where they go.

6. Make sure that your children feel comfortable coming to you with questions and don’t over react if things go wrong.

7. Keep kids out of chatrooms or IRC channels unless they are monitored.

8. Encourage discussions between you and your child about what they enjoy online.

9. Teach them what information they can share with others online and what they can’t (like telephone numbers, address, their full name and school)

10. Get to know their “online friends” just as you get to know all of their other friends.

11. Warn them that people may not be what they seem to be and that people they chat with are not their friends, they are just people they chat with.

12. Discuss these rules, get your children to agree to adhere to them, and post them near the computer as a reminder.

Another thing to keep in mined that involves everything we've been talking about if Safe Social Networking. that's when you have to be careful about who you talk to like on facebook or other social networking sites.

What is social networking?
Social networking should be fun. It allows people to stay in touch online, share fun moments, talk to their beloved and generally exchange personal content online. There are a number of popular social networking websites including [|Facebook], [|MySpace] and [|Bebo]. They all let you communicate with friends and other online users in one way or another.

Risks
Social networking sites are rapidly becoming a huge target from preying cyber-criminals. They are able to abuse the nature of these sites and gather personal information about its users - information that users themselves are making publicly available.

When using the internet you have to make wise desisions about what sites to go on and what people to friend on facebook, twitter, tumblr, and other sites so your safety isn't at risk.
