Private Browsing and Apple Products – Everything An Apple User Should Know

August 30, 2019 / / Comments Off on Private Browsing and Apple Products – Everything An Apple User Should Know

Private internet browsing can vary with different devices and software, whether this is your typical Apple or Android and even, Mac or Microsoft Windows.

Now many internet users may not be aware of all the methods and ways that one can benefit in terms of private internet browsing and the protection of an internet user’s personal data and information online.

When specifically talking about Apple or Mac products, there may be different ways to access or download and install a private browsing software as well as virtual private network service. In order to help you distinguish between the ways and products of private browsing and virtual private networks in the cyber world.

Some private browsing software and virtual private networks are designed for use on various different types of mobile and desktop companies. One of these may be the UR-Browser which is available for operation on Mac, Android (the beta version) and, Microsoft Windows.

Downloading Private Browsers In iOS

The well-known iOS is a mobile operating system which was developed by Apple Inc. in 2007. Over time there have been various updates with the most recent being the iOS 13 which has not yet been released to the public.

IOS operates the Apple iPhone, iPad and the iPod Touch. 

There are various private browsers available on iOS for installing and downloading to the Apple product user. Private browser download iOS may include DuckDuckGo, Firefox Mozilla, InBrowser, Maxthon, Cheetah Browser and many more.

The downloading and installing process for these is generally all the same.

iOS 7

As the Apple Company is up to iOS 13 by now, needless to say, the iOS 7 is probably considered pretty old. It was released in 2013 and was succeeded by the iOS 8 which was released to the public in 2014.

Private browsers for iOS 7 can be found through the iTunes application.

Moreover, private browsing can be enabled by opening the safari app and further clicking on the “tab” option on the bottom left corner. Then, a new page will be opened in which you may see the word “Private” on the bottom right cornerwhich will then take the internet user to a private mode.

iOS 12 Beta

Beta versions of new Apple software and programs are test versions that are used by a limited number of Apple users in order to test if the software is in running and stable condition. During the beta stage, any changes, additions or subtractions are done to the software.

Private browsers on iOS 12 Beta may be limited as they are not available to the general public.

After the iOS 12 Beta, Apple released an update of this same software named as, iOS 12 Beta 3 or in other words, iOS 12.3 Beta or iOS 12.3 Public Beta 3. This was released in April 2019 so it is considered to be relatively new.

In terms of privacy, the iOS 12 beta 3 private browser is pretty much the same as previous iOS privacy systems. The built-in private browsing tab can be accessed, however, unlike special browsing software such as the UR-Browser, it does not prevent websites and third-parties from tracking the internet user’s search history and personal information and data.   

iOS 12

When talking specifically about the private browser for iOS 12, in order to enable the built-in private browsing tabs, the user must generally follow the same methods as the ones mentioned in the iOS 7 tab.

There have been some complaints of the private browser tab missing in iPhones and iPads following the iOS 12 route. Basically, private browser safari in iOS 12 is the only way to access private browsing without installing or downloading a third-party application.

 The fix, however, has also been explained. All the iOS user must do is click on the “pages” icon after opening the “Safari” application and then clicking on “Private” on the bottom left corner. This will result in the user being able to browse the internet without leaving any history and the screen will turn into a grey tone rather than the usual white.

Private Browsing and Safari in Apple Products

Safari is the web browser that comes built-in to all Apple devices. The original version was first introduced on the Mac desktop back in 2003. Later on with the introduction if the first iPhone in 2007, a mobile version was developed and has been used by Apple users ever since.

Private browser mode on Safari is available on all of Apple’s devices. Whether it be the MacBook’s, iPhones or iPads.

According to some resources, when private browsing on safari is enabled, the user’s browsing history is not saved, any passwords entered in private mode are not saved, search history is not retained, some websites are prevented from adding cookies to your device, however, it is important to note that not all websites can be stopped in this mode, unlike proper privacy software such as the UR-Browser, and, usernames are also not saved.   

Safari Privacy in Different Years

As far as private browsing Safari 11 and its update is concerned, the method to enable private browsing on safari by the built-in way is the same as mentioned above. There may, however, be some other or more updated versions of separate private browsing software that may only be available for installing and downloading on iOS 11 or higher updates.

Similarly, when talking about the private browser of Safari 2018, the web browser by Apple, again, accessing the private browsing tab is the same method.

When discussing the legal privacy policy, using Safari does not really offer complete privacy benefits like web browsing software that is specifically designed for privacy purposes. Therefore, it may be best to install third-party software in order to keep any personal information and data safe and secure. 

In recent times, many Apple product users have found the problem of the private browser gone from Safari. This does not generally mean that the option of private browsing has been discontinued but it is merely a glitch in the software. There are many methods and ways explained in detail on the web that allows users to solve this problem and re-enable the private browsing tabs on Safari.   

Digital Data Privacy And Its Talks In The Educational Sector

August 21, 2019 / / Comments Off on Digital Data Privacy And Its Talks In The Educational Sector

The subjects of Cybersecurity and cybercrime are pretty popular amongst undergraduate and graduate university students around the world. This may be because of the fact that technology and its uses are expanding in the world thus, the need for higher security is also growing.

Many universities not only offer a bachelors and master’s degree in cybersecurity and cybercrime but also offer online courses for individuals and groups who want to gain some general knowledge about digital privacy and security.

Some jobs that may be available after one studies cybersecurity and cybercrime may be of a security engineer, security analyst, security administrator, cryptographer, crypto analyst and, many more. Many digital privacy quotes can also be found in the education sector when discussing the topics of digital privacy and data security. 

Digital Privacy Works In University

At the university level, those studying majors that may involve digital privacy are often asked to write research papers and a thesis towards the end of the program. The subjects of digital communications and culture may include such digital privacy projects.  

A digital privacy thesis may include the concerns about digital privacy, the laws and regulations about digital privacy in varying countries, methods to enhance digital privacy, the importance of digital privacy and other features relating to the concept of internet security and data privacy as a whole.

Just as so, digital privacy research papers may be available to search in order to gain information on digital privacy and its regards. Research papers on digital privacy may generally involve most of the same information as a digital privacy thesis, however, some may include more extensive research on certain countries and their digital privacy concerns.

Digital Privacy Presentation

Many presentations and digital privacy files are available on the internet, which includes a lot of extensive information and research on the topic of internet privacy and digital security. They may be from different college projects or company presentations.

One way to maintain the privacy of internet users for individuals and companies is for them to keep a safe presentation of their websites or social media accounts. Obviously if one adds too much suspicious content or information about finances then they are more at risk of being hacked or a victim of fraud.

It is possible that by using private browsing software such as UR browser, the safety level is increased for certain individuals or companies.

The Digital Privacy Paradox

Almost ever since the internet came into existence the problems and advantages of digital privacy have been discussed. So much so that some internet users have created research on digital privacy paradox as one decision of the whole topic cannot be applied.

Digital privacy is neither perfectly beneficial nor is it completely harmful.

The digital privacy paradox reviews the behavior of consumers when they are faced with a choice that may limit the privacy that they have. The end results mainly focused on three things;

People who say that they take privacy very seriously, however, when given the proper inducement they are willing to expose any private content;

When reassuring information about privacy is given to some consumers, they become less likely to use other surveillance methods regardless of whether or not the information is accurate;

The costs of privacy protection tend to change some consumers’ preferences about the concept of digital privacy and data security.

Digital Privacy Scholarships

Every year a scholarship contest is held for students of high school, undergraduate and, graduate studies. The official website for digital responsibility holds this competition and awards $1,000 (USD) to the digital privacy scholarship winners. The purpose of the scholarship is to give students more information about why and how they should be more cautious when using the internet and posting on social media applications.

This is a great initiative to increase information about digital privacy and data security in the educational and schooling sector.

The official website of digital responsibility also includes more information about distractions from digital platforms and digital privacy events such as digital privacy week that takes place every year.

Alongside the digital privacy scholarship, other scholarships are also available on the digital responsibility website which may include the e-waste scholarship, the “Don’t text and drive” scholarship, and the “Technology addiction awareness” scholarship.

Digital Privacy Podcast

Many digital privacy podcasts have been made recently and over the past years, mainly to increase awareness about data security but also, in order to inform listeners and internet users about the ways their security can be increased, for example, by using a private browser with a virtual private network such as UR browser.

Other topics of more popular digital privacy podcasts may include;

  • How the increase cyber privacy may affect online advertisers;

This may include the issues of privacy in the digital age and the selling of personal information to third-party companies.

  • How the next generation will be raised in a time with increased digital crime and how to resolve it;

This involves the increased rate in digital crime and how in the future generation it is believed that privacy will not be a matter of concern as most internet users will be open to the world. It is also said that privacy on the internet will be considered taboo.

  • The future of digital surveillance;

This is a very important podcast, which talks about the new and improved software like UR browser to increase digital privacy in a time when surveillance will be at its peak. 

  • How to deal with cyber hate;

A pretty short topic, but essential nonetheless, cyber hate should be dealt with especially regarding younger teens and preteens as cyberbullying and abusive actions mostly occur at these ages. 

  • Laws of digital privacy;

The discussion of various digital privacy laws in different countries is dealt with in this podcast. Many of these laws are similar as they all deal with the consent of users and the fraud and misuse of personal information and data of internet users.

Private Browsers and Internet Security on Different Phone and Tablet Devices

August 19, 2019 / / Comments Off on Private Browsers and Internet Security on Different Phone and Tablet Devices

Private browsing, although, very popular amongst users of the internet, may get a little tricky when different people privately browse the web from different kinds of devices. This is not really a matter of concern as different companies and their phones or tablets, and, devices have different methods and ways of private browsing and internet privacy.

First and foremost, on every electronic device that is used for internet and web browsing, the concept of private browsing comes up. When this term occurs, after the basic built-in private browsing systems that many web browsers provide, users begin to gain knowledge of private browser download apps.

These are typically third-party applications that are available in the Google Play Store for Android and iTunes or App Store for Apple products. These private browsing apps allow internet users to not only protect their privacy on the World Wide Web but also allows them to access some websites and applications that otherwise may be unreachable.

One popular and effective browsing software may be UR Browser. This software is known for its built-in virtual private network service (VPN) and special search engines that do not record nor sell the internet user’s personal information and search history to any third-parties that may use it for marketing purposes.

Private Browsing On Samsung Products

Samsung products offer private browsing on their devices. This may be through the Google Incognito mode or by downloading a third-party web browsing software such as the UR Browser.

Private browsing on the Galaxy S8, S9 or S10 can also be enabled without the use of third-party applications as well. If you or anyone you know is a private person and wish to hide certain files or folders on your Samsung smartphone, they can use the Secure Folder mode which is the private browsing mode in Samsung mobiles.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus privacy mode can be enabled by the following steps.

  • Swipe down from the top of your phone screen with two fingers and begin to look through the list of options
  • Click on the Private Mode option from the list of features 
  • If you are using the Private Mode option for the first time you will get a quick tutorial on how to use it and its extra features that are available. Moreover, after the tutorial you or the other user will have to enter in a PIN code for using Private Mode.

On the other hand, if for any reason you or the other user want to disable private mode from your Samsung Galaxy device, then you must re-click on the Private Mode button on the features list.

As far as other devices are concerned, private browsing on Samsung J3 can also be done by a Samsung user. Android has built-in privacy and incognito modes in its stock browser. All the internet user must do is open their browser application and click on the Tabs option which lies at the bottom corner. After this, the user must press the Menu or more button and select the option of Secret New Tab.

Another option of private browsing can be the option of installing and downloading a third-party web browsing software such as the popular UR Browser. Not only will all your search and cache history be deleted but, you will also have access to a built-in virtual private network service (VPN) and increased protection of your personal internet security by your private browsing VPN. 

Private Browsing Huawei

The mention of the popular and effective telecommunications company, Huawei was essential to this article. First founded in 1987, Huawei has introduced a very wide range of products across the market.

Private browsing in Huawei devices can be done by the basic Google Chrome method where the internet user goes incognito by either clicking on the three dot icon in the browsing application or by simply using private browser keys.  

The new Huawei P20 offers the feature of a Private Space which allows Huawei users to have a different set of applications such as Google Play which can only be accessed by them. This requires a separate user PIN or password.

This can be done by swiping down from the top of the screen then click on the settings icon > security and privacy and lastly, click on PrivateSpace.

Private Browser Kindle

The Amazon Kindle is an e-reader designed to replicate the features of a book in a tablet. The benefit being, instead of one book, you get thousands. Although the Amazon Kindle has been around in the market for quite some time, a newer version with a private mode was introduced in the e-reader market in about 2014.

Amazon added the private browsing feature to its Silk browser which allows users to search anything they want without their search history being recorded, trackers or cookies being used and, more features.

In order to enable private browsing mode in the Amazon Kindle, the user must tap on the Menu button, and then, select the new option and, Private Browsing.

The Amazon Kindle also had another update which was named as the Amazon Kindle Fire. There are some differences between the Kindle E-reader and the Amazon Kindle Fire or Kindle Fire Tablet.

The biggest one being the display. Because the Kindle Fire tablets use a glass display for the typical tablet usage, it tends to have a glare and although the Amazon Fire HDX and HDX 8.9 have the feature of a little less glare, the reader can tell the difference.

On the other hand, the Amazon Kindle e-reader tend to use more matte screens that completely reduce glare in order to mimic the style of an ink-printed book.

As far as private browsing on Kindle Fire HD is concerned, the Silk browser is used on the Fire Tablets. Thus, the method of enabling a private browser on Kindle Fire may include the following.

The pages that you or the reader views on the Kindle Fire will not be saved in the search history, browser history or, the cookie store. Moreover, private browsing in the Kindle Fire also does not save any passwords.                      

Popular and Effective Private Browsing Software and Internet Security Systems

August 8, 2019 / / Comments Off on Popular and Effective Private Browsing Software and Internet Security Systems

As most internet users should be aware of, internet browsing is a very private matter and should be done within secure facilities in order to ensure that the internet user’s data is not at risk of being stolen at all.

In today’s time, there are many types of different private browsing and internet data security software available. Some may be free of charge whereas others may have costs varying from low to very high prices. Moreover, private browsing software and security systems for internet using individuals and businesses all come with different features, some of which may appeal to certain users.

Some private browsers such as the UR browser may be favored by a large number of users due to its extensive features such as a built-in virtual private network (VPN) and the option of using other search engines. 

In order to help users gain more knowledge on private browsing systems and which features to look for, we have compiled a list of some of the popular private browsing software used around the world.

DuckDuckGo Privacy Company

The DuckDuckGo private search software and internet security system was created in 2008 and includes the options of completely private browsing as well as has no ads that may disturb the internet user or company. Unlike the UR browser, however, the private search DuckDuckGo does not offer a browser nor a built-in virtual private network, so the user may have to separately download and install it for increased coverage and privacy.

E-Capsule Private Browser

Similar to other private browsing software, the e-Capsule™ browsing system ensures that users will have complete anonymity when browsing the internet and users will be protected from any types of viruses and spyware. Moreover, this system includes a 14-day free trial period, after which the user must buy a package including all the facilities provided.

However, this internet privacy browsing system requires a password from all users when they open certain websites, unlike other browsers such as the UR browser, which do not require any sorts of details. 

Kaspersky Internet Protection

Found in 1997, Russia, the Kaspersky Lab is formally known as a cybersecurity company and an anti-virus provider. Private browsing Kaspersky enables its users to block certain websites which attempt to collect information about the users for marketing or other purposes.

Private Browser for Ubuntu

Although not a private browsing software, Ubuntu is an operating system made for cloud computing. Ubuntu does not store or share any personal information about the user unless it is needed for service reasons.

As this is an operating system, there are some different private browsing systems that can be downloaded and installed in order to ensure maximum privacy. Some of these may include Firefox, Opera and, Vivaldi.

MacOS High Sierra

Just like Ubuntu, High Sierra is also an operating system released by macOS. It was released just a couple years ago in September 2017. Many users are concerned with private browsing on High Sierra, this may be due to the fact that operating systems are not specifically designed to protect user information and provide complete internet security. Therefore, many internet users and businesses look for private browsing software.

Jungle Private Browser

Another private internet search browser that allows the individual or business users to browse through the internet without the fear of their personal information and data being stolen and/or shared with other parties for marketing and other various reasons. This private internet browser is available on both iOS and Android.

Vivaldi

This well-known internet browsing software was released to the public back in 2016. According to its website, private browsing Vivaldi does not track its users, keeps user information private and, allows the users to choose between various search engines.

One thing to note, however, is that the options of privacy, not tracking and private search engines are only enabled when the “Private Window” is chosen by the internet user. Thus, if the user is browsing the internet in a normal or non-private window, these features may not be usable and the user’s data may have the potential of being seen by third parties.

Private Browser Veil

This private internet browsing software was researched and created by researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and is known to be a software for internet users who are extra paranoid regarding their data and personal information. The Veil private browsing software goes above and beyond in terms of privacy by hiding the user’s page from not only third parties but also its own operating system.

However, it is said by that even after such privacy and security measures, the device being used at the time is still left with a minimal trace of history.

Opera Browser

This web browser is available for use on Android, iOS, Mac OS, Linux and, Microsoft Windows and was introduced to the public in 1995. The Opera browsing software has the options of incognito mode to hide a user’s search history just like many other web browsers available in the cyber world.  

As far as Opera’s own privacy policy and terms are concerned, it does ask for an email address or some kind of social media account when a user creates a profile in order to use Opera. It also has access to the user’s location to which some specific ads may be targeted.

Opera does have a built-in proxy service, similar to a virtual private network service, that states it does not log any information that may be related to or involve the user’s browsing activity. Although, proxy connections are not all always secured, nor do they protect the full computer traffic, as UR browser does. Opera also checks specific websites before allowing the user to access them in order to prevent any chances of fraud and /or scams.

Private Browser Keepsolid

Developed and released in 2013, Keepsolid not only has a private browser but also two forms of virtual private networks. One is an unlimited virtual private network which uses powerful encryption technology and an unlimited internet connection. It also offers the VPN Lite which is simply a lighter version that takes up less space.

The Keepsolid software is available on Microsoft Windows, Apple, Android and, Linux.

Internet Security and Different Private Web Browsing Services

August 6, 2019 / / Comments Off on Internet Security and Different Private Web Browsing Services

Internet security is an extremely essential factor in the use of web browsing on the internet for users from all over the world. This is because all internet users always have one thing that they must use and that is a password. Passwords are used for almost every website and application on the World Wide Web. Aside from that, they are also used when using mobile phones, tablets and, laptops or computers.

What Kind of Private Browser?

The main question that comes to mind when discussing is private browsing and internet security is, how to access a private browser? What kind of private browser is the right one? Are private browsers really, truly private?

These are just some of the questions that come to mind when one internet user begins to think about real internet security and data privacy. One thing to know is that private web browsing software such as the UR browser or private search engines like DuckDudckGo are specially designed solely meant for the use of private browsing without having to use two separate browsers each time the user accesses the internet and the World Wide Web. 

Furthermore, some private web browsing software such as the Keepsolid browser, which is a private browsing and virtual private network service released in 2017, may not be available on some certain Android or Apple devices and their Play Stores and App Stores.

This problem can be solved by downloading the private browser keepsolid pro apk version.

Moreover, there is also a private browser in the apk version which is known as the private browser mod apk. Apk mod is a website which allows users of all devices to install different applications and extensions that may not be available on the user’s respective devices for a location or other reasons.

Adblock and Private Browsers

Adblock is the glorious features that stop pesky ads from appearing and reappearing on an internet user’s device whenever they open some sort of website or application.

Some private browsing software also comes with built-in Adblock services that make it a lot easier for users to use one application or software for all kinds of purposes and actions. One such web browser is the UR browser.

Again, if for any reason the application or software which you desire is not available for direct download from the Google Play Store or the App Store, you always have the ability to download a private browser with adblock apk.

Moreover, if you or any other user is using an Android device, there is a chance that you may be a victim to increased ads than other users. This may be because many small companies and startups that require advertising tend to reach out to Android users more as a higher number of technology users use Android all around the world.

So, generally, when one experiences increased ads, more users may require Adblock services. This is when you or any other Android device user can download and use a private browser with Adblock on Android. Right off the bat, one of the best private web browsers to meet this requirement is the popular UR browser with features of adblocking, private search engines, a built-in virtual private network service (VPN) and, more! 

Virtual Private Network and Private Browsers

Virtual private network services (VPN) have been continuously mentioned in every article relating to private browsing. This is because when using the world wide web, just as a private browser is essential so is a virtual private network.

This also may be the reason why much browsing software comes with the option of a private browser VPN.

Furthermore, private browsers such as the UR browser also offer private browsing with VPN free services which are a very relevant factor when choosing between which private browsing software to use. 

There is a rather long term debate that has been going on the cyber world for quite some time now. This debate is none other than the private browser vs VPN argument. Although, when one deeply looks into the matter, these two go hand in hand, however, many internet and World Wide Web users across the world do not tend to agree.

To make it easier for internet users to determine the similarities between the two, we have compiled a list of all why these two are both different and the same.

First and foremost, the main similarity is the fact that both these elements allow the internet user to browse the internet freely and without any risks. All third-parties or hackers are unable to access the internet user’s personal information and data as well as any passwords or usernames that have been entered.

On the other hand, one difference between a private browser and a virtual private network is that when using a private browser or using the private browsing mode on your web browser you hide your internet access, search history and, personal data whereas, when using a virtual private network service, the internet user gains access to all kinds of websites from all over the world. Even the websites that are banned in the user’s location for some reason are accessible after using a virtual private network.

Using a virtual private network also hides the user’s IP Address which ultimately hides the user’s location.

Private Browsing Reviews

Many reviews and comments have been written on the internet on various internet browsing software and virtual private network services. Most of these have been based on the facts of how secure some browsers actually are. Many scandals have come up in the past that have exposed many popular web browsers of selling their users’ personal information, data and, search histories to companies and advertising agencies for reasons of marketing.

Some others have been based on private browsing restrictions across the web. As mentioned before, sometimes only using private browsing mode is not enough because there is still a risk to your internet privacy. Moreover, many web browsers do not have updated privacy policies which again, poses as a threat to consumer privacy as not having a valid and updated privacy policy means this browsing software may have the ability to use personal information and data for other purposes.  

How The Use Of Private Browsers Is Related to Privacy Laws in Varying Countries

August 1, 2019 / / Comments Off on How The Use Of Private Browsers Is Related to Privacy Laws in Varying Countries

Private browsing is an essential factor for everyone who uses the internet. There are many things that may seem like no one other than you are able to access, however, that may not always be the case. During your internet browsing session, your internet service provider is able to overlook everything that you search. Some third-party hackers may also be trying to get into your information for malicious reasons. Due to this, one should always use a safe and secure internet browser such as UR Browser that offers automatic scanning for viruses each time you open a new website, encrypted information and, redirection to the most secure website versions.

Internet Privacy Laws and Acts

Each country has different privacy and digital privacy laws and acts that all cyber entities are obliged to follow. Websites that use the personal information of a user must have a privacy policy that helps the user to understand each and every way that their information and data may be used.

The website that one creates may have to follow different circumstances according to the laws of the country it is operating in.

Digital Privacy Act Canada

Canada has a very extensive program on the general and digital privacy laws for all the websites and social apps that are being run in the country or collect the information of its citizens.

First and foremost, the digital privacy act S-4 was introduced in 2014 and was fully implemented in 2015 in Canada.

This act which is also known as the Bill S-4 digital privacy act is actually a set of changes made to the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). These changes were put into effect in June 2015.

This proves that the personal data of users are not at risk of being seen by the government and any other third-party organizations.

The privacy acts in Canada are updated frequently according to laws and regulations changing such as the digital privacy act 2017 Canada.

The digital privacy act 2015 Canada ensures that all companies and organizations compile with the rules and regulations set by ruling a fine of $10,000 to $100,000 to those who do not adhere.

With the use of UR Browser, you have the ability to hide all your personal information from search engines which have the ability to share your data with other parties.

Generally, the whole country of Canada follows the same privacy laws, however, the digital privacy act Ontario has also been separately created in order for an easier following. All this information is contained on the official website of Ontario and includes which type of data can be collected, stored and, released in the province of Ontario.

Digital Privacy US

In the United States of America, the laws of digital privacy are not including in the federal laws as done so in some certain other countries. Instead, this authority is given to each state where the officials of the state decide the strictness of its general and digital privacy policies.

The only law that has been introduced regarding digital privacy is the California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA) which requires all websites that collect personal information in the state of California to release a privacy policy.

The act requires such websites to include the following in their privacy policies;

  • Type of data the website will collect
  • Any and all third-parties that may be able to access this data
  • Updates to the privacy policy
  • How the user can change or update their personal information.

Digital Privacy UK

In the United Kingdom, the Information Commissioner’s Office has the responsibility to sustain digital privacy policies and laws. In the UK, websites who use cookies must also inform the user of how they will be used.

Digital Privacy Act New Zealand (NZ)

The privacy act of 1993 in New Zealand that entities who collect such information must seek this data from the individual. The user must be aware of the use of this data and the time of use.

If the user files any type of complaint, the website will be taken under investigation and may further be fined or even shut down permanently.

Digital Privacy Russia

The consent of the user is required prior to the collection of any personal information. This further applies to the modifying and destroying of the user’s data, however, if any such information is required by law, consent will not be taken into consideration.

There are so many acts made and used in Russia for the Protection of individual Personal data, 2005 and, the Law of the Russian Federation (in Personal Data). The latter also applies to those companies or organizations which use automatic tools or equipment for the purpose of gathering personal information of users. 

Digital Privacy Switzerland

The Federal Act on Data Protection of Switzerland only allows personal information to be collected for positive reasons and only if the user is aware that their information is being collected.

Moreover, all information should be taken directly from the subject.

Digital Privacy Laws in the European Union

As far as the UR Browser is concerned, using it will ensure that all your personal and private information is protected by the EU digital privacy laws.

The EU Data Protection Directive of 1998 states that personal information can only be collected for fair and positive reasons. Furthermore, the explanation of the purpose of the collection must be given to the user and the consent of the user must also be attained. Under the EU, it is compulsory for the website to inform the user if any of their data will be viewed by third-parties.

UR Browser also allows its users to delete their provided information at any time. It also has an updated privacy policy which ensures the users how and when their information will be used. UR Browser does not give out their user’s personal information to any search engines where they may be sent to third-party organizations.
