Regulating the Internet : privacy under the microscope

Williams, Elizabeth A., n/a January 1997 (has links)
This thesis is an exploration of privacy as it relates to the Internet in general, and e-mail communication in particular. It looks at the philosophy of privacy and tracks the privacy debate in both an academic and legal framework. It examines the Australian Privacy Act of 1988 and similar legislation overseas. Current government approaches to privacy and privacy regulation are also examined providing a legislative/political context for the research. The fieldwork component of the thesis attempts to unravel individual perceptions of privacy. It overlays those perceptions of privacy with an examination of the effects of Internet technology on a conceptual understanding of privacy. There is no doubt that the discussion of privacy and the electronic age is extensive but discussion with individuals about their place in the debate and, indeed, the legislation is yet to be tackled in an extensive manner. Until we mesh the views of individuals in the community about their place in the new communications technology and privacy debate, we will not reap the full benefits of advances in communications technology. Consumers will remain reluctant about and suspicious of breaches of their privacy via the Internet.

A qualitative study of the perceptions and attitudes of parents regarding parental notification in higher education

Hughes, Byron January 2002 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to examine the attitudes and perceptions of parents through an assessment of their feelings concerning parental notification polices. Participants in this study were selected from a sampling pool of parents that were members of parent associations at 64 college and university campuses throughout the country identified as having a parental notification policy.The project consisted of 5 parents from midwestern universities that were asked a variety of questions concerning: the child's collegiate development, benefits of parental notification, the role of the federal government, and financial dependence stipulations.The interpretation of qualitative data revealed that parents were in favor of parental notification policies and saw the implementation of these policies as a positive step by universities to utilize parental involvement in curbing student misconduct. / Department of Educational Studies

Reining in the State: Civil Society, Congress, and the Movement to Democratize the National Security State, 1970-1978

Scott, Katherine Anne January 2009 (has links)
This dissertation explores the battle to democratize the national security state, 1970-1978. It examines the neo-progressive movement to institutionalize a new domestic policy regime, in an attempt to force government transparency, protect individual privacy from state intrusion, and create new judicial and legislative checks on domestic security operations. It proceeds chronologically, first outlining the state's overwhelming response to the domestic unrest of the 1960s. During this period, the Department of Justice developed new capacities to better predict urban unrest, growing a computerized databank that contained millions of dossiers on dissenting Americans and the Department of Defense greatly expanded existing capacities, applying cold war counterinsurgency and counterintelligence techniques developed abroad to the problems of protests and riots at home. The remainder of the dissertation examines how the state's secret response to unrest and disorder became public in the early 1970s. It traces the development of a loose coalition of reformers who challenged domestic security policy and coordinated legislative and litigative strategies to check executive power. / History

Electronic workplace surveillance and employee privacy : a comparative analysis of privacy protection in Australia and the United States

Watt, James Robert January 2009 (has links)
More than a century ago in their definitive work “The Right to Privacy” Samuel D. Warren and Louis D. Brandeis highlighted the challenges posed to individual privacy by advancing technology. Today’s workplace is characterised by its reliance on computer technology, particularly the use of email and the Internet to perform critical business functions. Increasingly these and other workplace activities are the focus of monitoring by employers. There is little formal regulation of electronic monitoring in Australian or United States workplaces. Without reasonable limits or controls, this has the potential to adversely affect employees’ privacy rights. Australia has a history of legislating to protect privacy rights, whereas the United States has relied on a combination of constitutional guarantees, federal and state statutes, and the common law. This thesis examines a number of existing and proposed statutory and other workplace privacy laws in Australia and the United States. The analysis demonstrates that existing measures fail to adequately regulate monitoring or provide employees with suitable remedies where unjustifiable intrusions occur. The thesis ultimately supports the view that enacting uniform legislation at the national level provides a more effective and comprehensive solution for both employers and employees. Chapter One provides a general introduction and briefly discusses issues relevant to electronic monitoring in the workplace. Chapter Two contains an overview of privacy law as it relates to electronic monitoring in Australian and United States workplaces. In Chapter Three there is an examination of the complaint process and remedies available to a hypothetical employee (Mary) who is concerned about protecting her privacy rights at work. Chapter Four provides an analysis of the major themes emerging from the research, and also discusses the draft national uniform legislation. Chapter Five details the proposed legislation in the form of the Workplace Surveillance and Monitoring Act, and Chapter Six contains the conclusion.

美國財務資訊隱私權保護規定之研究 / A Study of American Regulations on the Protection of Credit Information Privacy

陳妍沂, Chen,Yen Yi Unknown Date (has links)
本研究探討金融機構對於客戶個人資料之蒐集與處理,所涉及之個人資訊隱私權保護議題,分為三個面向,第一是金融機構本身對於客戶個人資料之處理,尤其是金融集團內部之個人資料分享,或將個人資料提供予他人使用,第二是政府機關向金融機構要求提供客戶資料時,涉及之個人資訊隱私權保護,第三是信用資料機構對於個人資料之處理,例如我國之金融聯合徵信中心,或美國之信用報告機構對於消費者信用報告之蒐集與流通使用. 本研究所探討之法規,包括:美國金融服務業現代化法案第五章,美國財務隱私權法,美國公平信用報告法,我國電腦處理個人資料保護法,銀行法第四十八條第二項,以及其他金融法令中涉及金融機構對個人資料處理及隱私權保護之規定.最後並將美國規定與我國規定作一比較,參酌國際上對於資訊隱私權保護之立法原則,以及我國常見之資訊隱私權爭議類型,對我國金融機構之財務資訊隱私權保護規範,提出修法方向建議. / 隨著資訊科技之發展,個人資料之流通較以往普遍且迅速,加以在商業社會中,個人資訊具有行銷方面之商品價值,常成為交易標的之內容,因此保護個人資訊隱私權,已成為各國政府共同努力的目標之一。 隱私權的概念係起源於美國,其在金融業所適用之個人財務資訊隱私權方面所提供之保障程度如何,為本研究所探討之主題,所涉及之法規,包括:美國金融服務業現代化法案、財務隱私權法、公平信用報告法。 研究結果發現,美國1999年通過之金融服務業現代化法案,雖訂有隱私權保護專章,但主要規定係要求金融機構應提供顧客隱私權保護政策通知,以及在將個人資料提供予金融集團外第三人時,應提供顧客選擇退出之機會,並未涵蓋國際上認為資訊隱私權保護應包括之各種面向,且其對於金融集團運用個人資料之限制較少,消費者控制個人資訊之權利較為不足,當金融機構違反規定時,消費者亦無向金融機構提起民事訴訟求償之權利,顯示美國在金融集團之個人資料運用方式,較重視金融集團運用個人資料所能產生之經濟效益,對於個人資訊隱私權僅提供有限程度之保障。 美國1978年財務隱私權法,係規定求政府在向金融機構要求提供顧客財務紀錄時,應遵守法定程序,包括:以法定職掌所需之攸關性資料為限,必須向顧客進行通知,使其瞭解受調查之性質以及個人資料被使用情形,個人並有提出異議以阻止政府取得其財務紀錄之機會,若政府或金融機構違反規定而取得或提供其財務紀錄,個人得向政府或金融機構提起民事訴訟求償。雖然仍有學者對該規定所提供之保障範圍或者個人行使權利之便利性,提出些微批評,但整體而言,該規定促使政府部門在向金融機構要求提供顧客財務紀錄時,應自行檢視符合法定程序,且受到司法監督,對於政府所進行之調查程序,已提供較合理之個人資訊隱私權保障。 美國公平信用報告法,係因其商業化的信用資訊機構,在蒐集與流通個人資料時,有過度侵害個人資訊隱私權之虞,故於1970年通過該法案,其後歷經1996年及2003年之修正。該法規定消費者報告機構(即信用資訊機構)、消費者報告使用者、個人資料提供者應遵循之義務,以及消費者得享有之權利,用以維護個人資訊隱私權之方法,主要是限制消費者報告僅得提供予具有合法用途之報告使用者,以及儘可能的維護個人資料之正確性,以免報告使用者依據錯誤的資料,作成相關交易決定,而損及個人之權益。該法案呈現出美國對於個人資料之態度,是認為個人資料之流通使用,對於商業交易之順利進行以及經濟發展,甚至個人順利取得融資,均有助益,故不應予以嚴格限制,以享受資訊產生之價值,但另一方面提供個人得以知悉其個人資料內容、得以提出資料更正要求、報告使用者對個人作成不利交易決定時須通知報告當事人,用這些機制,來使個人有機會確保其資料之正確性,使其在商業交易中得以受到公平合理之信用評價。 本研究最後亦就我國相關規定加以檢視,並與美國規定作一比較,結果發現,我國由於早在民國84年即已通過電腦處理個人資料保護法,對於個人資訊隱私權已提供全面性之保障,僅須對於金融業或信用資訊機構部分,再補充較為詳細的行政規定,即可減少金融業之個人資訊隱私權爭議;至於政府向金融機構要求提供顧客財務紀錄之規定,我國目前係以行政函令加以規範,且採取非公開原則,民眾尚無從知悉其個人資料被政府調閱取用之情形,此部分我國之個人資訊隱私權保障,主要係仰賴政府部門之自我監督,其對個人資訊隱私權之保障程度較難以評估。 本研究對於我國金融業財務隱私權保護規範之主要建議,包括:(1)針對金融業之資料保護進行領域專精化之法令規範,(2)設置專責「資料保護監察人」制度監督政府個人資料保護行為,並確保人民隱私權受侵害之救濟,(3)改善金融機構向客戶通知其個人資料蒐集與運用事宜之程序,(4)對於政府取得金融機構客戶資料提供更完善之程序性保障,(5)對於金融聯合徵信中心蒐集處理個人資料賦予更明確之法律地位及規範。

Brave New World Reloaded: Advocating for Basic Constitutional Search Protections to Apply to Cell Phones from Eavesdropping and Tracking by Government and Corporate Entities

Berrios-Ayala, Mark 01 December 2013 (has links)
Imagine a world where someone’s personal information is constantly compromised, where federal government entities AKA Big Brother always knows what anyone is Googling, who an individual is texting, and their emoticons on Twitter. Government entities have been doing this for years; they never cared if they were breaking the law or their moral compass of human dignity. Every day the Federal government blatantly siphons data with programs from the original ECHELON to the new series like PRISM and Xkeyscore so they can keep their tabs on issues that are none of their business; namely, the personal lives of millions. Our allies are taking note; some are learning our bad habits, from Government Communications Headquarters’ (GCHQ) mass shadowing sharing plan to America’s Russian inspiration, SORM. Some countries are following the United States’ poster child pose of a Brave New World like order of global events. Others like Germany are showing their resolve in their disdain for the rise of tyranny. Soon, these new found surveillance troubles will test the resolve of the American Constitution and its nation’s strong love and tradition of liberty. Courts are currently at work to resolve how current concepts of liberty and privacy apply to the current conditions facing the privacy of society. It remains to be determined how liberty will be affected as well; liberty for the United States of America, for the European Union, the Russian Federation and for the people of the World in regards to the extent of privacy in today’s blurred privacy expectations.
