Privacy and Shopping For consumers who prefer purchasing goods with some amount of privacy, online shopping offers an alternative to shopping malls and other, more-public venues. But while you may be sitting alone in front of the computer, your shopping history or passwords could be compromised by countless prying eyes. Very few things in life are truly private anymore,

If you are worried about the privacy of online shopping on public or shared computers, it is best to turn off cookies while shopping.

Sharing Information When Shopping Online As a rule of thumb, reveal only that which is required to complete your order. While social media such as Facebook and Twitter have contributed to a culture of "sharers," there are certain details about yourself that no online retailer needs to know. Retailers often try to collect additional details, such as annual household income or favorite types of entertainment, but usually just for marketing purposes. Often it is benign, but sometimes the disclosure of nonessential information can lead to spam, telemarketing calls, or worse.

Certain types of information must never be shared when making online purchases. The primary example of this would be your Social Security Number (SSN). With the abundance of other personal data that may already be online, including your birth date and mailing address, an intercepted SSN could lead to identity theft. Also, do not share any information if you do not have a secure connection, which means it is encrypted (look for "https" or the picture of a padlock before the URL). Once you have chosen a password, it is important that you do not write it down or otherwise make it vulnerable to third parties. Also, public computers (public libraries, Internet cafes) often save or "cache" browsing history and sometimes even your login information, which includes your password. Logging out of all sites visited and emptying the cache is one way to protect your privacy, but you may want to limit your online shopping to a home computer or other secure device. About Privacy Policies Most online shoppers immediately click "agree" when asked to check a box indicating that they have read and understand the company's privacy policy. In fact, most online privacy policies go unread before transactions are finalized. Privacy policies may be heavy on the "legalese," but they generally address the following areas: Sharing of Information: Whether or not, or to what extent, any information you provide may be shared with third parties. Tracking/Cookies: What information the company is requesting for tracking purposes, how it is being logged, and how it is being used. Mandatory/Optional Data: Overview of which information is mandatory for completing a transaction and which is optional, plus an explanation of how optional information will be used. Information Collected: Explanation of all customer data collected and how it is being used (or may be used), particularly for personally identifiable information such as your phone number. While privacy and online shopping may sometimes be at odds with one another, proper precautions can help you avoid having your most sensitive information compromised.

To take advantage of it's location, as it's central and conveniently located in the CBD for commuters(more specially for those using public transport.). Acknowledging in mind the forever renovations taking place in and around here(can't remember being here without any renovations taking place).

So, for a place like this, I really feel and believe that it would be of great benefit (for both business and consumer) to add more of the kind of businesses(shops and/or services) that are targeted at the middle-to-high LSM groups.

Another thought I believe would be interesting, would be adding proper competition for the supermarket retailer situated downstairs. Perhaps have it situated anywhere towards the opposite direction/entrance of the existing retailer(maybe that direction of the station/terminals.

With just these tweaks, I can forsee an elevated flow of buying consumers, happy customers due to available options and convenience, and thus all the businesses here realizing...
