safe shopping online

In many parts of the globe, the holiday season is just over or just begun. And that means, gifts. Most of you out there prefer to buy electronic stuff, mobiles, smart speakers & so on. Well, before you purchase, here’s something you must look up. Safe shopping Online.

Called the ‘Privacy Not Included’ guide by non-profit Mozilla, this list has 70 products from toys to smart speakers, across categories. Users can rate them on a scale of “creepiness”. Users can vote on other parameters such as, ‘How likely are you to buy it?’.

Each of the products is graded on several points like what data does it collect, is the data encrypted, who is it shared with, to name some.  And what’s the worst-case scenario if something went wrong?

So go ahead, take a look. Better to be safe than sorry, right?
