Most people do not appreciate their personal data being sold to other companies. The online Consumer Privacy Guide offers customers ways to preserve their privacy in an increasingly technological marketplace.

Answer to Question 1

Electric Plaid changes colors electronically via thin wires and ink that changes color with temperature.
One possible answer: Levi Strauss attempted to market a jacket with an embedded telephone and MP3 player; it did not hold up in the washing machine.

Answer to Question 2

''Opting out'' is a way to request that a company not use ones personal data for marketing or sharing with other companies. A customer ''opts out'' by telling the company that he/she doesn't want personal information to be used for certain purposes.
The Privacy Toolbox is a directory of privacy-enhancing technologies that consumers can use to help protect their privacy online.
