<DIV>It's my understanding that Adobe is now encrypting the data they send from ADE to Adobe. Here is a link to an ADE privacy page on Adobe's website. <A href="http://www.adobe.com/privacy/ade.html">http://www.adobe.com/privacy/ade.html</A> Within this document they state that they are not collecting anything beyond DRM verification information. <BR>In the general privacy policy additional information they state that more information may be collected. <A href="http://www.adobe.com/privacy/policy.html">http://www.adobe.com/privacy/policy.html</A></DIV>
<DIV>There are some privacy settings, but I haven't waded through all of it yet. </DIV>

<DIV class=gmail_default>Hi Craig,</DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default><BR></DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default>After the initial discovery of Adobe's privacy violation, we wrote a blog post which included many links to the <A href="http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2014/10/adobe-responds-ala-egregious-data-breach-some-action-expected-week-oct-20">ALA statement</A>, <A href="http://arstechnica.com/security/2014/10/adobes-e-book-reader-sends-your-reading-logs-back-to-adobe-in-plain-text/">Ars Technica article</A> and <A href="http://the-digital-reader.com/2014/10/06/adobe-spying-users-collecting-data-ebook-libraries/#.VDwW3JXzGCv">The Digital Reader post</A>. The blog post is featured in our website rotator to increase visibility, and hopefully readership. <BR></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>Hello librarians,
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>What are your thoughts on the current state of Adobe's Digital Editions' privacy? Has Adobe made any changes yet to allow greater privacy or is this still an issue? I have been searching but I haven't found much follow-up information after the initial lack of privacy revelation. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.</DIV>
