What top keywords to highlight in a privacy policy for quicker reading?

from the self-post dept.

I used to ignore privacy policies. Clicked "I accept" and moved on. But then I started to care about my privacy. I tried to take a minute to read and understand each privacy policy, but there where too many words to skim through.I started working on an open-source tool to automatically highlight important keywords and action words in policy documents. Hovering over each highlighted word told...

After some dilemma when working with Netflix we finally got SSL support up and running. We apologize for the delay.

Hi marcc, actually it is done correctly and that is how OAuth works. In order to get the user access token the user has to first login to authenticate they are the rightful owner of the account and then grant access to the application. In our case, we could have sent the user to Netflix to login or we could have asked for the credentials on Qpicker and sent the details to Netflix who handles the authentication/access control.

Hi glenra, Qpicker was a simple project we put together because had about 100+ movies in our Netflix Instant Queue. The problem was we were interested in watching all of the movies in our Instant Queue but couldn't make our mind up what to watch. The result was a simple and fun project called Qpicker.

Hi enjo, we are using OAuth to access Netflix data. The reason we need your login credentials is because we first need to get your permission to access your Netflix Instant Queue data. The process of linking your Netflix account with Qpicker is only done once and you can always remove this permission from your Netflix account under "Manage applications".

Hi zoowar, thank you for catching the no-ssl issue. We are working with our host to have that fixed today. I'll update everyone when ssl is setup because we do want to make the site secure.

I would love to know what everyone thinks of Businesshug.

Although we are only in beta, hopefully our service will save you some time and make it more fun when looking for restaurants and hotels in a particular city. If you have a second, give us some feedback on what you like and dislike?

Regards

So does this mean all Facebook plugins introduce this flaw as well? Terrible news if so because we just integrated the "Like" button on our service.

Hi, from personal experience, our 2-man team found TeamViewer a bit more useful though.

Twiddla has its strengths but it failed when we tried to share a dynamic website. It only excelled in sharing static websites so we were unable to share websites that required a log-in or a form submission. We ran in to a lot of time consuming problems when using Twiddla so we abandoned it because we just did'nt have the time to play around. I guess it is more for communicating with remote designers and it definatly is way better than MS Paint.
