INDIANAPOLIS | Most people agree to privacy policies they have not read. They click accept to open an app, make a purchase, read a website, create an account, use a loyalty program, or continue a service they already depend on.
Privacy policies are not just legal documents. They are records of how companies and institutions describe the use of personal information. Readers should look beyond broad promises and focus on collection, sharing, retention, user control, and whether the policy explains real choices in plain language.
