Due to a recent update of Mozilla FireFox (MFF/FF) terms of service (addition) and an updated privacy policy of their web browser: You will no longer use it, instead find a downstream of FF or simply a google chromium downstream such as Ungoogled Chromium or LibreWolf/Tor Browser, and leave FF behind for good this time.

If you're using #Adobe #Acrobat you might want to check if your organization allows use of the by default enabled generative AI features: Acrobat sends the documents to cloud for processing, which likely goes against the data #privacypolicy of many orgs.

If unsure, go to Preferences > Generative AI and deselect "Enable generative AI features in Acrobat".

helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/

Adobe Acrobat Preferences, Generative AI Features in Acrobat: "[x] Enable generative AI features in Acrobat Your documents will be processed in the cloud to deliver a generative Al capability when you click on a feature within Al Assistant or generative summary. If you disable this preference, documents won't be Full Screen processed through these 2 capabilities."

So, I'm at the stage of my career where I've started to *collect* Privacy Policies that I read and actually liked (no, there aren't that many).

How nerdy is that?

If you wrote (and implemented) a *good* Privacy Policy on the internet, you might have a secret fan :blobcatnerd:

Infosec ExchangeEm :official_verified: (@Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange)I’ve read so many privacy policies in my life, I am now reviewing them like fine wines :blobcatwine: "Hmm this one has a strong GDPR aroma with just a hint of CCPA in it 😌" "This one smells moldy, definitely had some cork issues that turned it bad overtime 😒" "This one has a very pleasant privacy-laws-future-proofing smell and tastes like respected human rights 😍" #Privacy #Wine #GDPR #PrivacyTasting 🍷🔒

Refused to sign my doctor's office #PrivacyPolicy, because it's said something about advertising that I wasn't comfortable with. The receptionist of course looked at me like I was talking crazy, and suggested that if I didn't sign they can do whatever they want with my information. 🤔
Refusing to consent to having my information shared with advertisers means they can share my information with advertisers?? Looks like I have to go online and read it even more closely.
