Glide OS announced today a new privacy umbrella policy to protect your personal data not only when it is stored but also when it is shared or published from your Glide GDrive. Your personal data is not used or shared with third parties for the purposes of targeted advertising.
Glide OS strives to solve the pervasive problem of a lack of online privacy by offering GDrive, an online storage solution for your data designed with the purpose of providing autonomy in the Glide cloud service similar to what you enjoy offline on your personal computer hard drive.
"Consumers are moving more of their files and information to cloud storage solutions. While users have gained ease of access, they have sacrificed significant personal privacy with certain leading service providers," said TransMedia Chairman and CEO, Donald Leka. "All of Glide's privacy settings are defaulted to private and there is no data mining or sharing of any of your personal information with third parties in any of Glide’s services."
TransMedia added today a new Article to the Glide OS Privacy Policy
ARTICLE VII: TransMedia provides an umbrella of privacy protection for all of Glide’s services and environments. All of Glide's privacy settings are defaulted to private. Glide user data is not mined or shared with third parties and this protection extends throughout all of Glide’s environments including search, social networking, web publishing, collaboration, productivity and file and data storage.

The Glide OS offers a clear alternative to certain leading online service providers that regularly provide third parties access to your data. Certain leading online service providers make it clear in their service agreements that they can and will share your data with third parties without even the requirement of disclosing to you when your data is being accessed or identifying the third parties that are being given access. These online services use targeted advertising and therefore are incentivized by profit to use and share your data with third parties.
"The goal of the Glide OS is to provide you with a private, autonomous digital living space where all of your data can be stored. Think of it as analogous to renting your own private living or storage space," said Mr. Leka.
In addition to Glide's comprehensive application suite, you can use your favorite search, email and social networking services in Glide without targeted advertising.
Glide supports, Google Search, Microsoft Bing, Yahoo Search, YouTube, Twitter, Wikipedia, Gmail, Microsoft Live (Hotmail), MobileMe Email (.Mac), Yahoo Mail, AOL among other popular web services.
