A study conducted by The Customer Respect Group in Boston showed that high-tech companies, as a whole, improved their privacy rating from 6.4 in the last report to 6.8, reports ComputerWorld.
A recent study in the US shows that high-tech companies are doing a better job of respecting the privacy of their online customers.
According to Terry Golesworthy, president of The Customer Respect Group in Boston, which conducted the survey, the industry as a whole improved its privacy score from 6.4 in the last report to 6.8, although most of that improvement was attributed to a large increase from the top performing companies, reports ComputerWorld.
Topping that list were IBM, Hewlett-Packard and Veritas Software Corp, he said.
'Some of the companies did it tremendously well -- they put very strong privacy policies into place.
They never share your data, never do anything you don't tell them to do and allow people to opt in,' he said.
