Are Privacy Policies Meaningless?

by Curt Hall

This week's announcement by retailer Best Buy that it is changing its privacy policy highlights just how meaningless customer data privacy policies actually are for consumers. Moreover, for our interests, it also makes one wonder just how much emphasis (or effort) companies should place on defining their privacy policies if they can change them to suit their needs any time they want.
