Analysis: The frightening truth about your data - It just gets worse | TechEye: "Every day we're hearing more stories coming in the media about how this company is doing this with your data, that company is doing that with your data. Firstly, let's be clear. By saying 'data', what we mean is any and all personal information or content that you have generated or put online.
Your name, your age, photos of you and your friends, who your friends are and just about everything else.
Some companies use your data for their own purposes which you have to allow if you want to use their product. Some of them are making it confusing or even difficult when you try and take it back off them. Facebook, which we reported on recently, try and get you to deactivate your account instead of delete it, archive your messages instead of delete them, and by doing so, continue to have royalty-free licence over content that's related to your account.
