Consumer Privacy Education

Recently, American consumers have learned that telephone companies have shared vast amounts of data pertaining to telephone call records with the U.S. Federal Government.  Legal or ethical arguments aside, it should not be surprising that the technology exists today to record and easily track our personal tastes, preferences, and lifestyles.  As consumers we need to be better informed about our choices when we elect to share our personal and consumer information.

A resource you may find valuable in terms of personal and consumer privacy education is the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse (http://www.privacyrights.org/).
