Privacy

     Privacy and confidentiality are very important in relation to new media. New media is comprised of blogs, websites, and social networks. When you sign up for a social media network, there is a privacy statement in almost every site providing their users with information of the rights they have. Privacy allows the individual who uses new media to be protected in what they choose to share with the company or institution. Whereas, confidentiality protects the unauthorized use of information already there. In that case, reading the privacy statement and terms of conditions is vital because in any incident something were to be leaked you are aware of the facts or fault within the institution. Most new media is being personalized within your account and you must be conscious on what you allow the Internet to see.
