You know those lines and lines of words in a size-7 font at the bottom of most websites? Ever tried to listen to the end of commercials on the TV or radio when the announcer speeds through a bunch of gibberish like “something-something-something is prohibited….must-be-18-years-or-older-to-apply”? Those, are privacy policies and copyright: no one reads them or listens to them, but everyone cares about them the instant he or she is worried about their personal information.
As an example, I researched and read through the Privacy Policy for SiriusXM Radio, and confirmed that the only times a listener’s information must be accessed by the radio are during contests/promotions/giveaways. Regular listeners have nothing to worry about: the only time your personal information must be provided is when you call or text into the station. And most likely, if you’re calling in to comment or try to win something, you’ll want them to send your concert tickets or vacation giveaway to the right address…!
