E-Business Challenges
(privacy)
Privacy is among the top concerns of Internet users.
E-business sites often require passwords and use
electronic signatures, an electronic form of identity
verification.
Companies can track customers’ shopping and viewing
habits through cookies.
Customers usually prefer that companies do not share
their personal information. Merchants have responded by
joining privacy organizations.
Privacy protections may soon become legally required.
Employees also have concerns that employers are
monitoring their Internet behavior.
Companies worry about data theft.
