This author addresses the relevance that comes with the information privacy policies and the effects that these privacy policies have had on the collection of data. The study proposes that high privacy policies are characterized by affecting the perceptions on the significance of the data and its relevance in the line of performance. This is a common issue in any field that highly secured data is perceived to be more important for the running of the facilities. However, in some cases, these are just some basics safely stored for future references. This study is relevant to our current study, as it highlights the effects that come with too much privacy policies being emphasized.
