There has been considerable concern and debate about rights of consumers against excessive intrusion on their privacy by advertisers using interactive media to collect their behavioral and other personal data. It is heartening to know that responsible businesses are coming around to the idea and have agreed to impose voluntary regulation of their practices. In spite of this, consumers should remain vigilant and not abandon privacy measures such as hiding their IP by use of Rapid IP Change Software.
In a recent Press Release a Key Trade Group Released Comprehensive Privacy Principles for Use and Collection of Behavioral Data in Online Advertising. A complete reproduction of the Press Release is given below.
What is significant is that awareness to the problem of internet security and privacy issues is growing and people are getting pro active and taking control. New technologies for anonymous surfing with the help of software allowing rapid IP Change and use of multiple proxy servers serving multiple IP addresses not including the actual IP address of your internet connection. This allows one to surf anonymously while at the same time software has the capability to encrypt the data. As a result you can keep away people and businesses to locate you and get access to your personal data, shopping and internet surfing behavior. This is a long way from fool proof security but is a very strong defence against growing security and privacy risks.
Here is the Press Release in its entirety:
Top Trade Associations Embrace First-Ever Broad Industry Self Regulation
New York, NY (JULY 2, 2009) —A group of the nation's largest media and marketing trade associations today released self-regulatory principles to protect consumer privacy in ad-supported interactive media that will require advertisers and Web sites to clearly inform consumers about data collection practices and enable them to exercise control over that information.
This unprecedented collaboration represents the entire marketing-media industry and includes the American Association of Advertising Agencies (4A’s), the Association of National Advertisers (ANA), the Direct Marketing Association (DMA), and the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB). The Council of Better Business Bureaus (BBB), a leading organization dedicated to advancing marketplace trust is also part of the effort and has agreed, along with the DMA, to implement accountability programs to promote widespread adoption of the seven Principles. This cross-industry self-regulatory task force represents the first time that representatives of the entire advertising ecosystem have come together to develop principles for the use and collection of data in this important area to the economy.
This self-regulatory program is expected to be implemented at the beginning of 2010.
“Consumers deserve transparency regarding the collection and use of their data for behavioral advertising purposes. I am gratified that a group of influential associations – representing a significant component of the Internet community – has responded to so many of the privacy concerns raised by my colleagues and myself,” said Commissioner Pamela Jones Harbour, Federal Trade Commission (FTC). “These associations have invested substantial efforts to actually deliver a draft set of privacy principles, which have the potential to dramatically advance the cause of consumer privacy. I commend these organizations for taking this important first step. I am hopeful that successful implementation will follow. In the meantime, I encourage the entire privacy community to continue a dialogue that places the interests of consumers first.”
“The practice of advertising has clearly been revolutionized by the emergence of the Internet. Today, we can match the content of an ad to the interests of the consumer in ways undreamed of just a few short years ago,” said Nancy Hill, President & CEO, 4A’s. “We will, of course, be able to continue this interest-based advertising only if we maintain the public's confidence that we are responsible stewards of the data on which it is built. The self-regulatory Principles being announced today represent a giant step forward in sustaining that consumer confidence. We are proud to have been one of the driving forces involved in bringing these Principles to life.”
“Guided by the seven Principles we have announced today, the advertising community is developing one of the most comprehensive self-regulatory programs ever undertaken by the business community. The fast-changing online marketing environment is best addressed by a self-regulatory framework that is transparent, flexible and accountable to consumers' needs and concerns. On behalf of our 360 members, who collectively invest more than $200 billion annually in marketing communications, we look forward to jointly developing a comprehensive business system that respects and honors these Principles,” said Bob Liodice, President and CEO, ANA.
“The Council of Better Business Bureaus is delighted to join this effort to provide solid guidelines and meaningful oversight of common sense Principles that should govern the business community as it collects and uses information to deliver advertising of interest to consumers,” said Steven Cole, President and CEO, Council of Better Business Bureaus. “We think that what is most important about this effort is the real commitment by a broad coalition of businesses joining in to deliver a transparent and credible monitoring and enforcement program as a complement to the practical and consumer-friendly Principles. We look forward to working closely with the DMA and our other National Advertising Review Council partners to deliver a quality program.”
“These Principles are an important step in developing a meaningful self-regulatory framework for companies advertising on-line and represent the culmination of many months of hard work,” said John A. Greco Jr., President and CEO, DMA. “As a respected voice in Washington, D.C., and on behalf of our 3,400 members, we look forward to integrating these Principles into DMA Guidelines, which for 35 years have set the standard of best practices through our strict ethical guidelines for business.”
“This historic collaboration represents businesses and trade associations working together to advance the public interest,” said Randall Rothenberg, President and CEO, IAB. “Although consumers have registered few if any complaints about Internet privacy, surveys show they are concerned about their privacy. We are acting early and aggressively on their concerns, to reinforce their trust in this vital medium that contributes so significantly to the U.S. economy.”
“The NAI applauds the creation of these Principles and appreciates the opportunity to have been involved in their development,” said Charles Curran, Executive Director of the Network Advertising Initiative, a cooperative of online marketing and analytics companies committed to building consumer awareness and establishing responsible business and data management practices and standards. “Our members’ long-standing experience under the NAI’s code shows the effectiveness of self-regulation in providing consumers with notice and choice about online behavioral advertising. The broadening of industry self-regulatory standards under these Principles will enhance consumer confidence in the online medium, and we commend the associations for their leadership in bringing together thousands of companies to expand transparency and choice across the Internet ecosystem.”
Taken collectively, the participating associations represent more than 5,000 leading U.S. companies across all of the key businesses that have played a role in the transformation of the way consumers experience media. According to the “Economic Value of the Advertising-Supported Internet Ecosystem,” a recent study commissioned by the IAB, the advertising-supported Internet represents 2.1% of the total U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) contributing $300 billion to the economy and has created 3.1 million U.S. jobs. The Internet itself has become a vital link in the supply chain and communications chain for all businesses, and is a lifeline for the hundreds of thousands of small businesses and publishers that have no equivalently cost-effective means of reaching so wide an audience. The ecosystem includes advertisers, advertising agencies, Web publishers, Internet access services providers, providers of application software such as Web toolbars and Internet Web browsers, search engines and online advertising networks.
In January 2009, the task force announced that it had been working on the development of these Principles in direct response to calls on the Internet ecosystem by the FTC to develop more robust and effective self-regulation of online behavioral based advertising practices that would foster transparency, knowledge and choice for consumers.
The Principles are designed to address consumer concerns about the use of personal information and interest based advertising while preserving the innovative and robust advertising that supports the vast array of free online content and the ability to deliver relevant advertising to consumers. This self-regulatory program consists of the following seven Principles.
* The Education Principle calls for organizations to participate in efforts to educate individuals and businesses about online behavioral advertising. To this end, the digital media industry intends, in a major campaign that is expected to exceed 500 million online advertising impressions, to educate consumers about online behavioral advertising, the benefits of these practices and the means to exercise choice, over the next 18 months.
* The Transparency Principle calls for clearer and easily accessible disclosures to consumers about data collection and use practices associated with online behavioral advertising. It will result in new, enhanced notice on the page where data is collected through links embedded in or around advertisements, or on the Web page itself.
* The Consumer Control Principle provides consumers with an expanded ability to choose whether data is collected and used for online behavioral advertising purposes. This choice will be available through a link from the notice provided on the Web page where data is collected.
* The Consumer Control Principle requires “service providers”, a term that includes Internet access service providers and providers of desktop applications software such as Web browser “tool bars” to obtain the consent of users before engaging in online behavioral advertising, and take steps to de-identify the data used for such purposes.
* The Data Security Principle calls for organizations to provide reasonable security for, and limited retention of data, collected and used for online behavioral advertising purposes.
* The Material Changes Principle calls on organizations to obtain consent for any material change to their online behavioral advertising data collection and use policies and practices to data collected prior to such change.
* The Sensitive Data Principle recognizes that data collected from children and used for online behavioral advertising merits heightened protection, and requires parental consent for behavioral advertising to consumers known to be under 13 on child-directed Web sites. This Principle also provides heightened protections to certain health and financial data when attributable to a specific individual.
* The Accountability Principle calls for development of programs to further advance these Principles, including programs to monitor and report instances of uncorrected non-compliance with these Principles to appropriate government agencies. The CBBB and DMA have been asked and agreed to work cooperatively to establish accountability mechanisms under the Principles.

Operating Software and Browser Security Flaws-Can These be overcome with the Help of IP Change Software
Protecting your security and privacy over the internet is a hot issue as well as an important issue as it relates to how we connect and live in future. Recent introduction of new technologies such as software controlled IP Change from Private Proxy Software is an attempt to face these ever growing challenges.
Security of our computers and their vulnerability to security breaches over the internet was highlighted by this head line in Washington Post: "Microsoft Patches Nine Security Flaws" (Brian Kerbs in Washington Post July 14, 2009) and the following excerpt:
"Microsoft Corp. today issued software updates to plug at least nine different security holes in its various Windows operating systems and other software. Today's patch batch includes fixes for two very serious flaws that are actively being exploited by attackers to break into vulnerable PCs.
Redmond issued patches to fix the vulnerability in its Video ActiveX Control for Internet Explorer, as well as the DirectShow flaw in Windows. Criminals currently are using both security holes to plant rogue software on PCs when users visit certain hacked or malicious Web sites."
Are these patches enough or just temporary fixes for a problem that is much large? We require an independent effort and new out of the box solutions that address the problems not just at the operating system or browser level but at the internet connection and data transfer levels as well. That is why browsing or surfing anonymously and data encrypting is so important. All these technologies are available and are being used and refined. With computing power of PC's becoming less of a problem, the software itself is now refined to the extent that it shouldn't slow down your internet connection when you use these technologies.
Anonymous surfing has been made possible by efficient use of Proxy servers and Software. The connection is routed through multiple proxy servers that could be anywhere in the world. The software that in essence directs rapid IP Change as it presents different IP addresses for your computer by routing your connection through servers at different locations. The software from Private proxy software accomplishes this without diminishing connection and download speed while at the same time encrypting the data.

Your Guide to Change IP Using Variable Programs
Are you one of those who clearly find the need to change IP address? There are a variety of reasons why many find the need to make frequent changes in the IP address of the port they are using when browsing the web. It is notable that this practice is becoming common among internet users and many find it necessary to do so. This is due to the threat of privacy invasion, spamming and banning of IP address from a website.
Regardless of the reasons, there are different ways to change IP without the need of technical knowledge about using a computer. While there are different methods of changing IP from your port, before trying each one, you should initially start by making changes on your IP address by following this easy and simple method.
You should unplug the power from the DSL or cable modem for about 5 minutes. Most often, this simple step may be sufficient to change the IP address of the port you are using. In case this fails you should repeat the process, this time for a longer time of about 8 hours. In most cases this simple trick will work.
However, if this basic step of changing an IP address does not work at all there are other options to change IP address. Since there are different programs used in a computer when connecting to the Internet, the steps for changing IP will also differ according to the programs.
For windows where there is a direct connection between the modem and the computer you can go to the command prompt at the start tab and then go to run and type cmd, after which you should enter on the command ipconfig/release or ipconfig/renew.
Another way to change IP from windows program is to go to the start tab then run and type cmd. You should then type ipconfig/release and then turn off the computer, turn off the Ethernet hubs, turn off the Internet modem (DSL or cable) and leave the computer off for about 8 hours. Once you turn on your computer after the time required you should expect to have a new IP address. In case one is using a router, it is important to turn the hub switch for the Ethernet and modem and leave it off overnight.
When using Mozilla Firefox, you can change IP address by clicking on the tools tab then go to options. Then you can go to the advanced setting where a new screen will pop up. Go to the network tab, setting and manual proxy configuration. You should then type the name of your proxy beside the http proxy. You then hit the button that says proxy server for all protocols and then you get an instant new IP address.
These are easy and simple steps that can help any Internet user to elude from website ban, protect their privacy, and avoid leaving a trail of their browsing history and online activities. To change IP address is easy to do with the practical benefit of safeguarding your online activities in the Internet.
However, recent introduction of IP Changer Software that allows anonymous and secure browsing by rapidly changing IP address by use of proxy servers. Such software such as the one from Private Proxy Software is proving to be a reliable technological solution to the invasion of your privacy on the internet.

In case this fails you should repeat the process, this time for a longer time of about 8 hours. In most cases this simple trick will work.
However, if this basic step of changing an IP address does not work at all there are other options to change IP address. Since there are different programs used in a computer when connecting to the Internet, the steps for changing IP will also differ according to the programs.
For windows where there is a direct connection between the modem and the computer you can go to the command prompt at the start tab and then go to run and type cmd, after which you should enter on the command ipconfig/release or ipconfig/renew.
Another way to change IP from windows program is to go to the start tab then run and type cmd. You should then type ipconfig/release and then turn off the computer, turn off the Ethernet hubs, turn off the Internet modem (DSL or cable) and leave the computer off for about 8 hours. Once you turn on your computer after the time required you should expect to have a new IP address. In case one is using a router, it is important to turn the hub switch for the Ethernet and modem and leave it off overnight.
When using Mozilla Firefox, you can change IP address by clicking on the tools tab then go to options. Then you can go to the advanced setting where a new screen will pop up. Go to the network tab, setting and manual proxy configuration. You should then type the name of your proxy beside the http proxy. You then hit the button that says proxy server for all protocols and then you get an instant new IP address.
These are easy and simple steps that can help any Internet user to elude from website ban, protect their privacy, and avoid leaving a trail of their browsing history and online activities. To change IP address is easy to do with the practical benefit of safeguarding your online activities in the Internet.
However, recent introduction of IP Changer Software that allows anonymous and secure browsing by rapidly changing IP address by use of proxy servers. Such software such as the one from Private Proxy Software is proving to be a reliable technological solution to the invasion of your privacy on the internet.

Making Anonymous Browsing Possible With IP Changer
If you want to enjoy surfing the net, yet want your identity to be hidden and not being traced, it is now possible by using IP changer software. It's quite conventional to assume that all your internet activities are something that you do alone. But this is now just a debunked fact, in fact, an outdated, superseded reality!
It has been a myth for a long time that what you do on the Internet is something only known to you. Sometimes, people browse sites with a sense of privacy and they actually believe nobody else in the world knows they've been frequenting certain domains. Though one might be surfing in his own bedroom with nobody around, his internet service provider and others know where and when you visited on the net. Anything and everything a surfer does is, therefore, far from secret and if there's any reason to that, it's the very structure of the internet that is responsible.
Several companies have taken on this challenge just to address this heightened and intensified problem of privacy invasion. Of course, no one could just sit and let the crime pop up everywhere and anywhere. There was something to be done, right? IP Changer to the rescue!
With one's IP address, one can be identified by the rest of the online community. You may have heard this term over and over but never understood it. IP stands for Internet Protocol and each computer that is allowed access to the Internet by a service provider is assigned an IP address. This IP address is a set of numbers divided into four parts. The first set identifies your domain, the second, your subnet, the third, your network and the last and most crucial, the computer you're using. When you take all these groups of numbers as one, they will compose an IP address which is identified with and traceable to your computer.
Anonymous browsing is simply browsing the World Wide Web with most of your identity hidden. This is primarily done through what is known as an anonymous browser based proxy. These are the websites that you can use to input the address of the web page that you wish to visit, and the service will take you to that website with information such as the location of your computer and the IP address hidden from the web page. For example, when the user tries to access something on a certain part of the web, the proxy will talk to that file as an ambassador of the user, maintaining the privacy of the user. The practice of anonymous browsing can also maintain the privacy of the user from potential loggers spying on the user's connection.
Anonymous browsing safely and securely by using an IP Changer Software such as the one from Private Proxy Software is proving to be the technological solution to the invasion of your privacy on the internet.

How to Change IP Address without the Technical Hassles
Anyone can now change IP address easily. In contrast to the common notion that changing the IP address may require technical knowledge, it is a treat to know that anyone can easily do the changes without the hassle of needing any technical background.
Learning the process of changing IP is helpful since the IP address you are using will give you online identity and at some point, others can use it against you. Some sites may be able to block your activities on their website by banning your IP address and there is a high potential for hackers to intrude into your privacy by keeping track of your online activities through your IP.
The main essence to change IP is to become Internet savvy and learn how to protect one’s vulnerability against third party intrusions. Anyone can simply change IP address without any technical hassles involved. Just the mere act of switching off the modem can could change IP of the port. This means not bringing the modem into stand by but rather completely turning it off. To be sure, you can simply pull out the plug of the modem from the socket. You should keep the modem turned off for at least 5 to 10 minutes. Once it does not work to change your IP address, you should do it a bit longer (at least 8 hours).
Aside from this least tedious task, you can also conceal the IP address you are using in the Internet by using a proxy service. There are web proxy services that offer free concealment of your IP address. Just visit their website and then enter the website you want to visit anonymously. It will take you to the site as it alters the real IP address you are using thereby giving you an anonymous identity online. This form of service though has limited benefits and may not work well with JavaScript.
When using a router, a trick to change IP address will be to disconnect the router and make a direct connection with the modem. However, this will only allow a single computer to have access on the Internet and with a limited protection from the router.
The easiest way to change IP perhaps is to call your Internet Service Provider who can do the job of changing your IP address for you. You must expect however that they will surely ask you for grounds of reasons to request for an IP change.
Recently, IP changer software has become available in the market. It can provide better convenience and protection against your vulnerability from banning and hacking with added tools for optimal Internet efficiency.
There are also ways to obtain a new IP address automatically. One will need a DHCP server which has a feature for changing IP address and letting you acquire a new IP address of your own choice or at random numbers. These simple steps can help anyone, even a novice learn how to change IP without any technical background.
