Abstract

The communication on the Internet brought speed and accessibility, surpassing geographical boundaries, but also brought the possibility of monitoring and collecting data from users. Guided by a bibliographic review, this work aims to address issues of the right to communication and privacy through an evaluative analysis of the privacy policies of the ten largest online social networking applications, especially regarding the collection of personal data and the how they are used, seeking to draw the common aspects and possible failures in communication with the users.
