Abstract

Methods, systems, and products protect personally identifiable information. Many websites acquire the personally identifiable information without a user's knowledge or permission. Here, though, the user may control what personally identifiable information is shared with any website. For example, the personally identifiable information may be read from a header of a packet and compared to a requirement associated with a domain name.
