As of now there are NO nation wide laws about your internet privacy or safety. On the other hand some individual states are starting to take action for example. Nevada and Minnesota are requiring internet service providers to keep certain information private if it concerning their customers, unless the customer gives permission to reveal the information. Where as in California and Utah, the laws which are not specifically targeted to online businesses, also require all non-financial businesses to reveal to customers, by writing a letter or by email, the types of private information the business shares with or sells to third parties for direct marketing purposes. Under the California law, businesses can post a privacy statement that gives customers the chance to reject sharing the information at no cost.
These Law only affect four states what about the other forty six states? they get left out, unprotected, and victim to scams EVERYDAY
