Content Analysis of Web Privacy Policies in the GCC Countries

Abstract

Abstract Privacy has long been defined as the right of a person to be left alone and to be able to have control over the flow and disclosure of information about him- or herself (Warren and Brandeis, 1890). Worries about privacy are not new, although businesses have gathered information about their customers for years. However, privacy issues often come about because of new information technologies that have improved the collection, storage, use, and sharing of personal information.
