So who owns access to your data?

Protecting access to your data is one of the biggest issues in business today, be it from the perspective of the music, film, gaming, or software sectors. And given the news this week on alleged breaches of cyber security, it is about time people paid notice to what they actually sign up for.Simon Bain, CTO of search specialists, Simplexo, states: “Why are so many of us happy to just ignore the Terms and Conditions clauses of so many drive or cloud collaboration service providers that appear to just hand over access to your data. This may sound like another pop at the T&C’s of the likes of Google Drive, Dropbox and Huddle, but the reality is this, when you upload content to one of these services ask yourself this simple question: from that second on what rights have you given them to use or grant access to that data?”
