Does your telecommunications provider protect your privacy?
The Consumer Federation of California Education Foundation (CFCEF)
just released an in-depth study of the privacy practices of major
telecommunications corporations operating in California. Of the 18
companies evaluated, 28% received failing grades, 6% received a “D”,
and the rest were evenly split between “A’s”, “B’s”, and “C’s” at 22%
each.
“Our survey shows that many phone companies take the low road,
providing only the privacy protection required by law,” said Richard
Holober, CFC Education Foundation Executive Director. “Phone companies
should never share consumer phone calling records without the explicit
permission of the customer."
