MyPermissions.org started as a weekend project, a service to the community and my mom
People simply don’t get those privacy settings and Terms Of Use. And as a result end up sharing things, they never planned to, with complete strangers. Privacy simply doesn’t work!
We’ve realized we’re all fighting yesterday’s privacy battle. For years our personal information was stored on our personal computers. We got used to thinking that protecting your personal information means protecting your computer.
In reality we all spent the last years gradually moving our personal information to the web: Our photos, documents, location, contacts, e-mail, work history and business relations, political and religious affiliations, our very thoughts… It’s all on the web!
Privacy is no longer about protecting your personal computer! It’s about controlling who has permissions to access your personal information on the web.
