Enterprises go to great extent to gather and share information about their customers, including some very sensitive information. This often leads to serious privacy violations, specially when the information is misused or mishandled. Unfortunately, we the individuals  whose information are affected in the process, are seldom aware of what information about ourselves are gathered, what further information are mined from that gathered, and how the information are used and potentially will be used. Although, in many cases we do not have any options but to part with such information, in many other cases, however, we can definitely take some preventive measures to protect our privacy.

We discuss what kinds of information about ourselves are typically gathered, how they are gathered, and why we should be concerned. We then discuss some technical solutions that are available to us, the end users, to protect ourselves from violations to our privacy.
