WeatherBug works hard to protect the rights of its consumer and business users,
and this is increasingly important given all the improper activity that is
happening online. WeatherBug is a member of the Online Privacy Alliance
(www.privacyalliance.org) and recently launched this site to help educate and
protect consumers' computers.
Millions of Americans are online every day to work, shop, research or chat with
friends and family. Unfortunately, personal privacy and security is at risk by
unforeseen attacks when you're online. There is a growing number of predators
that can monitor users' actions online, access personal information and even
take over a user's computer.
