PrivacyVille makes learning about privacy mildly interactive

With all of the worries about privacy issues on Facebook, Zynga has taken it upon itself to educate players through … a very simple mini-game. PrivacyVille may not be all that in-depth, but, hey, at least you’ll get some RewardVille points out of it.

The “game” takes you across a CityVille-esque landscape, detailing a number of facts about privacy and how Zynga utilizes your personal information with its games. It doesn’t actually run through Facebook, but instead over at zynga.com/privacy: and you don’t even need to be signed in to Facebook to play. Once you get the rundown on the privacy information, you’ll go through a brief, and almost painfully simple, multiple choice test.

Even if you aren’t interested in learning about privacy, you may still want to check out PrivacyVille if you’re a regular player of Zynga games. It only takes a few minutes to complete, and you’ll be able to earn 200 zpoints, which will help you unlock and earn virtual goods over at RewardVille.
