Privacy Policies

1. SnapChat- In Snapchat they explain how they are making money of the users and how they use your information to sell to companies. Some of the privacies are letting other people view your snapchat story and for how long as well as the date and time. Snapchat does notify the user is there is any change in the privacy policies and will not use location without ones consent. One of the things that they can not control is if the other person screenshots the picture that you sent but Snapchat will notify you if they did. Personally, I do feel safe having this application and I do not have many complaints about it after reading the privacy policy. The only one that does bother me a little is getting information about the website or application I have used previous and using that to sell to other companies.

2. Instagram- They have teamed up with Facebook in order to get more insight about me. They explain that they do not share information about me with other third parties that I am not a part of but it is not limited. Instagram, also uses the log in, cookies and other things to as they say make it a "better experience' for us the users. I am not so crazy about, Instagram, and quite frankly  I have not felt like I have a lot of privacy on it. I would feel as if they would do they same thing Facebook has done and use certain pictures to alter and test with the emotions of the users to see the results.

3. Tumblr-After reading their policies I do feel as if I do have a safe environment although I do understand that they do have to make money and use the basic such as username, blog post, email etc.  Tumblr does work with Yahoo and cares for the privacy of the users and of course ask for consent if above the legal age.

4. Blackboard- It is who you want people to email or who you do not want to receive emails from. I do like this because I am very secure. I feel like it should be secure because it is something that is linked with school.
