We think that the biggest issue in e-business at the moment involves the amount of information that users share with organisations and the privacy issues that flow from this.

Organisations need to know information about their users, but what is being done with this information after is a big worry.

We think that organisations should carry out a survey of what information their users are happy to share rather than having an accept or don't accept our policy option.

This would mean that consumers were deciding what information they were willing to share for themselves.

 You raise a really good

 You raise a really good point here about the 'accept or don't accept' the terms and agreement point.

Often the 'terms' are so long and complicated - and written in inaccessible language that means very few people will have really read and understood them. 

One thing I know a number of people have asked for is for companies to provide clearer terms and conditions - at least so that you know what you are agreeing to. Do you think it would be useful to have some standard icons or statements to explain how information is being shared? 

Maybe you could suggest the different ways you think companies use your information at the moment and could say which you are happy with or not?
