I really cannot recall reading privacy policy of any sites, I'm I the exception or do most people read privacy policy of websites?

No, cant say it interests me for a second!!
Just checked my site and i have had 8 pages views since it was made active 2 mths ago.

Sometimes. Depends on the website in question.

Mostly though, I trust the website not to sell details or use them stupidly or unethically etc.

But for some, I read every little word.

If I found the forum and site interesting I do read their policy.

Depends of the website. If i need to provide personal information, I'm interested about their privacy policy, if I only have to provide fictive information, then I don't read it.

I read them on sites like flickr or where I'm uploading my own content - I dont want some legal loop hole that gives them the rights to my material.

Not often, but you must always read the Terms and Conditions for any purchases online. Some charge for returns others don't - you can only find this out by reading the T&Cs.

Very much agree with you on this Tony. I once bought a scanner from a company in Scotland, had to return it and pay the postage

It also depends for me. If I find the site quite personal, I do read its policy.

I don't read them because, some forums have same policy to the other forums...


but sometimes I read it when I can't put or my Sig was not yet visible
