The upcoming BayFF focuses on eight companies who will be demonstrating
their privacy enhancing products.
In a world of web bugs and online tracking devices, it can be hard to
know who has access to your personal information. As online privacy
becomes a more important issue to the public at large, the business
world is attempting to provide solutions.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation and the Berkeley
Center for Law and Technology are hosting a tech fair with eight
privacy-focused companies which will demo products that can help you
keep your private information in your own hands this holiday season.
Learn how to send encrypted messages through your email account, surf
the web privately, and even purchase things online anonymously! Each
company will be set up to show you exactly how its product works and
answer any questions you may have. You have choices in the way you use
the Internet. Come and learn about what they are.
Below are descriptions of each of the particpating vendors describing
what they do. These descriptions are from materials supplied to us by the
individual companies as so EFF cannot warrant their completeness or
accuracy.
