Civilized websites treat you like a person. They don’t collect information about you without your consent. They don’t stalk you, fingerprint you or ’grope your browser’.
They don’t help strangers track you online or create dossiers about you that others can sell, but you can’t buy and not even tell us they are doing it.
Civilized websites respect your privacy. If they asks for personally-identifiable information, they only ask for what they needs and they tell you how the information will be used.
A civilized website secures your information the same way it would secure its own. It lets you review or remove your information on request.
In other words, a Civilized Website acts like any normal, decent person would.
