The Inside Scoop on Privacy Polices: With Claudiu Popa

Every time we visit a new website, make an account, or buy a new phone, we are faced with a long list of confusing, and often contradictory statements that supposedly tell us about the establishment’s intention with our personal information.

As we discuss in our video interview, privacy policies are written in such a way that the average consumer will find it tedious to read.

To learn more about this issue, we spoke with Claudiu Popa, KnowledgeFlow Founder. He speaks about what look out for when skimming a privacy policy, and what kind of language companies use to create fallacies, loopholes, and contradictions with the intention to confuse the reader.
