Most people tend to pass on reading through long boring legal documents whenever they’re installing new software, filling out forms, and especially hearing about changes to their privacy policies. It may not always be the most pressing information to stay on top of, but Magento recently updated their privacy policy and it’s good to know what kinds of changes may affect you…
- Cookies – There have been changes to how Magento tracks users on its site with cookies and other tracking technologies.
- Collecting Personal Information – Updates have been made both to how Magento describes your personal information and an expansion of what they collect (mostly through calls and text messages)
- Sharing Personal Information – Magento will not share personal information with any third parties, but note this doesn’t preclude them from giving information to parent company eBay.
- Privacy Disputes – Magento now works with privacy dispute resolution provider TRUSTe
The changes are immediate for new users of Magento and will apply to all customers starting on April 6th, 2013.
