Issue in Detail
Over the years eBay has learned that one of the keys to success is engendering consumer trust and confidence. To foster that trust, we’ve met customer privacy expectations with every product we offer.
We continually strive to meet and exceed consumer expectations, while offering greater levels of transparency, consistency, and consumer control. Over the years, we have launched several privacy enhancing products and services, and offer meaningful choices to users about what information they share and how it is used.
As governments and regulators around the world continue to look at protecting consumers’ privacy, new laws and regulations should be uniform in order to avoid a patchwork of different privacy models, and flexible enough to allow for innovation while prioritizing the protection of user data. wrestle with the difficult task of developing new policies to strengthen privacy protections, we want to engage in that dialogue and add value by sharing our expertise and experience. eBay supports US legislation and international law to provide a rational and constructive framework to protect consumers while recognizing legitimate uses of personal information.
