You better believe it.

No.  Well, that's not entirely true.  In some of the new cell phones there are GPS units so that they can track you, but the average 911 communications centre doesn't have the ability to access this.  The most they can do is get your cell phone provider (if they can figure out who that is) to tell them the general area you're located in based on the cell tower(s) that you're using.\n\nThe downside to this is that if you're lost or in serious danger and unable to tell the 911 operator where you are, you're pretty much s.o.l.

Yes! I am sure that it is, especially communications, ie, Telephone, text, e-mail etc. with a mobile phone you can be tracked throughout the world, if they have your number and now car recognition, they have you made.\nStay clean honest and safe and you have a lot less to worry about.\nBig brother is watching you, George Orwell.

Well, I don't worry about it. What you said is true, about having nothing to hide. I really don't like the idea about my privacy being invavded, but look at it this way. They are not just going to listen in for no reason. If you are acting suspicious, such as calling different countries frequently, and you are not associated with any kind of place that should be calling different coutries, then you would probably be a suspect. Or say, you are a suspected terrorist. I have no problem with things like that. They won't listen unless they have a reason. And for that I am thankful, because they are trying to better protect me and my family.

actually, yes they are. \nYour rights to privacy are not in full effect when at work.  Your employer also has a right to look at your email, internet useage, and monitor phone calls.

There are none.  You work at your employer's property, using their property.  They can monitor your emails, web surfing, calls, visitors.  In most states, they can video or audio tape you without notifying you first.\n\nUnfortunately, big brother may not be the government, but he is your employer.

Ask me! Or someone like me that who's working in a cell phone company. That can use the sales central to find out the profile from the person that you wanted. Shhh....don't tell anyone, ok?! :p

Well, not publishing it online would be a good first step.  Also, having this information unlisted with your phone company will also be important.\n\nOtherwise, with that kind of info, there should be some type of privacy standards with the companies you share this with, and they should not be publishing it online.\n\nThere are some types of background checks that people can pay for to get info on you.  Most of the time, this is based on information from your utility companies...phone bills, power bills, etc.  Call them and ask how to best keep your info private - they may have different recommendations, depending on where you're located and such.

You need to leave contact information...

I feel the same way you do but I found out its when a company wants to hid its I.D from you and your caller ID. $%#$% them! Don't even bother to pick it up, if a company can't be honest with the general public there is no need to give them the time of day.

I think it depends on the personal settings they have. You can choose not to have contact details visible I think.

Yes, assuming the companies have clearly defined internet usage policies and disciplinary procedures, and disclose if there is surveillance.
