Welcome to The Purple Box




Ghostery | The Purple Box show

Summary: Greetings to one and all from The Purple Box - a new initiative we're launching to help our users (and anyone else who happens to pass through) understand what's going on with their data on the Interwebs. We are proud of our Ghostery users for their enthusiasm in seeing and controlling all of the organizations and technologies that collect information on them, and through the use of The Purple Box, we hope to further these two standards of empowerment. You can look forward to podcasts from leading publishers, marketers, government officials, technologists, engineers as well as in-depth writing and analysis of everything privacy/tech related.   To kick things off, here's an interview about data collection and privacy with Lydia Parnes, the former director of Consumer Protection for the Federal Trade Commission. Also, feel free to follow The Purple Box via our RSS feed, or on Ghostery's Facebook/Twitter.
