Nike and Your Privacy

When it comes to dealing with companies online, especially when conducting business, one should read that sites Privacy Policy. For Nike's Policy, they outline all major concerns consumers have when doing online business. They cover all bases starting with the information you give them and what they plan to do with that information. Nike does have devices that have GPS technology and Nike does say that they collect that information and share it within the "Nike Family" and use it to better market to that person.

Nike is keeping up with the current world and trends which is all about convenience and moving fast. By linking up w...

Ads Online following the IBA guidelines

Searching the web for different sites finding ads posting on them takes some time and patience. Once you find these ads you have to compare them to IAB guidelines and make sure that they are within those guidelines or there could be a fine to that company. The IAB is the Interactive Advertising Bureau that develop and provide legal support to those affected by advertisement. I use Pandora a lot, both on my phone and on my computer. The ads that pop up on them different, on my phone there are a lot of downloadable apps that pop up for ads and on the computer it is mainly sights to purchase various items. Both fall with in the guidelines of the IAB as on the computer the ads are vertical and are withing the dimensions the IAB has on vertical ads. For the phone it is subload as the ad initiates its own music without me interacting with it. While going to my Yahoo account a few different times in the past few days the ads have all been initial load where they load with the page. Most of th...
